 This is the OneJan 01, 2009

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.

Works greatApr 02, 2009
By Ray Computer Geek
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.

Clamps Like a ChampFeb 28, 2010
By Steven R. Ball
The clamp works as advertised. Fully adjustable, it fits any bike that I have tried, some very large tubes and some small. Will hold a bike on the vertical seat tube and on the top tube. Was easy to install with a few bolts and wingnuts for easy removal. Make sure that you have enough room for the bike wheels on each side when you put it in, and that you put it right at the edge of the bench or table it's going on, but other than that, this is a great item for small spaces. I can take it off and use the workbench just like regular. I think I used quarter-inch bolts.

Good ClampJan 18, 2011
By P. Turano
I also ordered Park's more expensive clamp Park Tool Bench Mount Repair Stand at the same time (Amazon shipped too fast to cancel only minutes later), so I had the opportunity to compare side by side. This is the better product. I give it five stars. Initially concerned from reading other reviews that the elbow is plastic, but it really is a very heavy fiber reinforced piece - no concerns any more. The part that clamps the bike works great and clamps with a very smooth-working screw motion that allows for complete control over the clamping force. - The one improvement I would suggest is an adjustable length base that could position the bike higher so you don't have bend-over while working. I welded a 2x2 metal post to the provided base to get more height and also so it could mount in my Jawhorse vice-workbench (see picture I posted).

 Could be better.Jul 09, 2010
By Richard Fallstich
"Transplant Recipient"
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.
