I've bolted this stand to my B&D Workmate, used it on many occasions, and it has served very well. Afterward it can be broken down and stored away compactly until the next season. The clamps allow a bike to be rotated and locked into any position.

Strong and sturdy and easy to use. I installed mine on some scrap plywood made into a T so I could use it in my workbench vise, but just take it out when not needed.

I have the PCS-12 repair stand for about a year. It has worked OK until recently. Since summer has arrived, my bicycle gets more use, so more maintenance on it is needed. As use of the stand has increased, the `composite top tube' has become increasingly loose on the angled upright metal tube of the `bench mount.' (The terms in single quotes are those used by Park on their instruction sheet. You can download a PDF at the Park web site.) This is allowing the top of the clamp assembly to swing around side-to-side when it should stay rigid.The `composite top tube' is clamped on to the `bench mount' with two M5 socket head cap screws counter-bored into the composite material. Tightening these screws should increase the clamping force and cause the top tube to stop rotating on the bench mount. The only problem is that when I tried to tighten the screws, the upper one pulled through the composite material and no longer provides any clamping force at all.Now the top of the clamp rotates freely, making work on a bike inconvenient and frustrating. I have made a reinforcing plate (like a large rectangular washer) out of scrap aluminum I had lying around. The `composite top tube' can now be firmly clamped, but it looks like a jury-rig. Park should have designed this clamp set-up with a more robust design.I gave 3 stars in my review, because other than this issue, overall function is good. If some swinging, or rotating, of the bike in the clamp will not bother you, then this home mechanic bench mount repair stand is a fairly good value. It allows versatile positioning of a bicycle, but the rotational movement is an issue.
