Park Tool PCS-12.2 - Home Mechanic Bench-Mount Repair Stand Black/Blue

Very solid yet gentle gripping vise. Seemed like over-kill until I realized how bad all the bikes around here actually are, and this thing is a life saver. No more sitting on the concrete. Due to limited garage space, my work bench is only 6 inches wide from front to back. This mounts perfectly. Glad I bought it.

This is a great stand. I even use it to hold my bike when I’m not riding it.

Every bit as good as the similar and more expensive PRS-7-2.

High quality

A really nice, no nonsense, American made tool for the home mechanic or shop owner.

I have 8 bike riders in my house. Always wanted a bike stand. Just didnt want to spend $300+. Happy to find this for less than $200. Paid $179. No more hanging bikes from the rafters in the garage. I chose the PCS-12.2 over the other Park Tools clamp offerings for the following reasons: 1) I wanted a stand that was all metal. Other offerings anywhere near the same price have some plastic. Though, Im sure theyre good quality plastic. 2) I wanted a stand that would hold the bike sufficiently away from the workbench. 3) Price. I also wanted a removable clamp and that could be easily removed to be out of the way when not using it. However, the offering near this price point, violated one of the above criterion. Very happy to find this new model. The cut aways on the top and bottom of the clamp to avoid cables are awesome and I believe common to all Park Tools stands. I was a little confused when I marked the holes on the work bench to mount it and noticed they werent in a square pattern. Looks like there might be some variability in the bottom plate holes. Funny, because I read the same thing with the other more expensive stands. It would appear they have a bad template at the factory. No biggy. Im sure this will last longer than I will. Highly recommended for anyone who works on their own bike and already has a workbench.

Super sturdy and inconspicuous. Perfect for a work bench. Easily adjustable.

This is a well made piece of equipment; it is adaptable to different positions depending on one’s space constraints and should work superbly in all scenarios. One could attach this repair stand to a bench or on top of a free-standing base, should one want to devise one, or conceivably in other ways. My bike shop recommended this brand to me and I’m very pleased to have it, in my case easily attaching to my garage work bench.

So much easier to service bikes on this that a race stand. Stable for a variety of bike - did not try e-bike

I used it to install my studded tires on my Ebike. It also makes a good storage hanger.
