Park Tool Portable Repair Stand Comparison

[@landonashby2029]

Great Job! New enthusiasts are often confused on which stand and why. This will surely help them pick the right one.

[@billblake4029]

I love my PRS-25. It's so convenient to use and the quality of it is above reproach. Thank you Park Tool for providing us bike enthusiasts such great and well thought out and designed products.

[@Mr_Zzzeee]

Do you no anything about the 10.3? I'm wondering if I should splurge for the upgrade to PRS-25.

[@billblake4029]

@@Mr_Zzzeee No, I do not. Sorry.

[@meadows408]

So here's the deal, I cobbled together my stand with a PRS-6 and a 100-9c adjustable linkage clamp I prefer the adjustable linkage. This combo is a little too short so I have mounted it on a wood box about 9 inches tall. It works fine but a better combination for me would be my PCS10-2 with an adjustable linkage clamp. None of the adjustable linkage clamps fit this steel head unit. I am not a fan of the composite plastic head units, they will fail with time but will out live me. My PCS 10-2 is folded and awaits the next time I need two stands at the same time but please make an adjustable linkage clamp to fit it and I will buy it. Thanks for the vids, I've learned a lot and Calvin's humor is awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@KurtElliott]

I think my brother got the PCS 10.3, we love it!!!

[@xj31]

I have a PCS-10 from 2006, I think it's the original. Still works great although I would love to upgrade the clamp to the one with the crank handle. Mine is just a plastic lever

[@MrCsebike]

I had one about 35 years ago . No plastic but heavy.

[@briteidea08]

I have a PCS 10 from 2017. That swivel or pivot for the clamp is an issue. Can loosen it up. But it won’t move. Need to have something in the clamp to get enough leverage to move it.

[@HUKIT.]

I’m still rocking my 8 year old PCS-9 but the newer models and upgrades are pretty damn cool.

[@kipphawley4514]

You guys should try to have a segment on what years of bikes are capable of having some upgrades parts. Like for Example if you get or find an abandoned 1960s or 1970s, 10 speed is in good condition for restoration. What upgrades parts can that type of year of the 10 speed can have. As where are you only used 1970s parts for a 1960s 10, speed or can you use a newer version from the 80s version parts or what type of product are you able to use.

[@MHH3180]

Any chance of a more affordable mechanically operated lift for things like cargo and e-bikes?

[@parktool]

I wish I could answer this question! 🤐

[@GokkunGuru]

I really like PRS-22 but it’s a pity the beam’s angle cannot be adjusted. That comes in handy when doing brake bleeds.

[@mtoscano343]

Have a park tool stand and a wall clamp. Both have clamps that rotate downward after clamp in my bike in to them. My bike weights 18’ 6”. No matter how hard I tighten the either clamp they slowly turn. Not happy with them

[@-Axel_MTB-]

Idk but it looks like it would be possible to upgrade small things like quick realese clamps and such to make the pcs 9.3 like the 10.3

[@parktool]

It is possible to upgrade the PCS-9.3 to the PCS-10.3.

[@bmxscape]

@@parktool Which model of clamp would fit in the 9.3?

[@bmxscape]

I am a shorter mechanic - often use the pcs-9.3 near the lowest setting of about 40". I am looking for the most durable repair stand that is free standing and is height adjustable to be short like me. I liked the pcs-4.2 until i saw the minimum height is near the maximum of the stand i currently use, which i dont even think i could reach lol. Maybe i will just get the pcs-4.2 and cut the tubes shorter to get the ideal minimum height for me. any thoughts on that? is there a sturdier free standing repair stand?

[@Emtbtoday]

The PCS 9.3 is that sturdy enough for holding an ebike 80lbs what's that 36kg?

[@parktool]

The max capacity of the PCS-9.3 is 80lbs so we would recommend going up to the PCS-4, PRS-25 or professional shop stand with a bike at that weight.

[@rjpaonessa5258]

Which of your clamps can accommodate very large tubing, such as a monotube recumbent like the Bacchetta?

[@parktool]

Most of the clamps on our stands can clamp tubing up to 3". So the list is quite long.

[@SitavandaRita]

Super informative video. Just to be clear the micro adjustable clamp from the 10.3 can be used with carbon and dropper post seat posts, right? Because that is what most of my bikes have nowadays.

[@parktool]

Yes, use the clamp on the posts, either carbon or droppers.

[@SitavandaRita]

Thanks, you are the best @@parktool

[@mytexasdays1526]

The pipes are metal but all fittings are plastic. How long will plastic last? Repeated tightening and loosening seems like the plastic won't last long.

[@parktool]

They are glass filled nylon which is very long lasting. It's often referred to as Ballistic Nylon.

[@blackmightcrash8017]

How do these compare to Feedback be it, workmanship, weight, value, ease of use?

[@sbccbc7471]

Park Tool's clamp-style workstands easily clamp almost any seatpost shape, round, bladed, Kammtail and anything in between as they clamp front and back. Feedback's clamps sideways, so it's only good for round seatposts.

[@el-hakiem_media]

Where to buy?

[@Leviathandk]

@@andye6450 nope. I mean like here in denmark most bikeshops work on bikes that hang by two hooks that are connected to a pneumatic piston. Fast and easy adjusment of height. And theres no stand to get in the way when working.

How much are your stance

[@tomahoks]

[@trekkeruss]

I don’t understand why you offer so many different stands. Seems a bit daft to me, but if it works for you…and apparently it does…I guess I am merely thinking out loud.

[@sbccbc7471]

Some mechanics don't need some extra features other mechanics would want. For example, the average home mechanic would be OK without the micro-adjust clamp found on the PCS-10.3, so the PCS-9.3 would suffice. Shop mechanics will appreciate it for allowing them to mount and remove bikes fast. Race mechanics that travel frequently will appreciate the light weight of the PRS-25.

[@TheMrDemage]

just because the stand is colored blue it does not have to cost $150 more than a regular one.

PCS-10.3 is essentially the same as Bike Hand’s budget stand.

[@MisterRabbiit]

Meh. As an owner of a bike hand stand, I’d prefer a PCS-10.3 any day over my clunky bike hand.

[@Waremonger]

I have the Bike Hand stand and it is a great value. Unfortunately the clamp mechanism is nowhere near as sturdy as Park Tools. At some point the plastic teeth on the poorly designed clamp are going to brake and I suppose at that point I'll have to buy a PT 10.3.

[@Pienimusta]

Stand? Is that a JoJo reference?

[@catsploitation]

I have the pcs 10.2 it doesn’t stand up with a heavy bike on it
