RAD Cycle Products Pro Bicycle Adjustable Repair Stand
Introducing the all new, RAD Cycle Products Pro Bicycle Repair Stand. This is the one everyone is talking about, but you can only get it here. The Rad Cycle Products Pro Bicycle Stand holds up to 66 pounds (30kg) effortlessly in its heavy duty "Work Horse" clamps that are engineered not to harm your bike's finish. The "Work Horse" clamps are designed to rotate 360 degrees on two axes, and fits nearly every standard tube frame from 1" to 1.5". Included is a tool tray with a magnetic strip to help keep those nuts and bolts where you can find them when it comes time to put them back on. The feet are even pre-drill just in case you want to mount your RAD Cycle Products Pro Bicycle Stand to the floor or work bench permanently, or semi-permanently.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

possibly salvageable garbage
well... the darn thing looks solid. It sets up fast and it will hold a bike without any fear of tipping/falling. It is easy enough to use without a helper....

Unfortunately it fails in 1 important field. The clamp is attached to the metal arm with a bolt inserted into plastic tabs that squeeze it onto the pole. The clamp on my unit came loose immediately. I tried to tighten the bolt with the included allen wrench (by hand)... The bolt slipped through the plastic tabs with very little pressure, and will no longer fit in the larger sized hole left by the damage. The clamp now slips of the pole freely. Lame.

I noticed, however, with the clamp removed and the arm exposed,that there are predrilled holes in the arm. I believe I can drill through the hard plastic clamp (carefully) and firmly secure it with a bolt going through both the clamp and pole. Of course, this sort of modification should be unnecessary, but I have the idea that this piece of crap would be...

OK buy if your expectations are realistic
READ THIS BEFORE USING.

As others have said here, the weak point in this stand is the clamp connectors that lock the stand in place. The description is misleading in suggesting you can lock this stand in any position, as you can with higher priced stands. The problem is that the plastic connectors just are not up to the task of supporting the weight of an average bike in an UNBALANCED position. You will likely never get them tight enough to support an unbalanced bike without breaking them, however, there is what I believe to be a flaw in the assembly process that might result in a better working stand if you tend to it first.

Here is what you need to look at: BEFORE YOU USE THE STAND, loosen the bolt that holds the main clamp to its tube and remove the clamp. When you do, you will see there is a notch in the end of the aluminum tube, and inside the clamp there is a tab that is supposed to line up with the notch and go into it. I question whether or not this...
Great product
This stand is very sturdy yet it is light enough to be moved around very easily. The two bikes that I own 1 mountain and 1 hybrid fit nicely. You do have to apply extra pressure to the knob when you want the bike to stay at a certain angle. After a few uses it begins to grip better and it requires less pressure each time. It has a lot of height and therefore makes it a breeze to adjust to a height that is easy to work on no matter what part of the bike needs attention. It folds up and can be stored in a corner or can be hung up in the garage when not in use. This is a much better product than I thought it would be. I could not justify paying $150.00 for a stand that I am only going to use a half dozen times a year. This one certainly fits my budget and my needs.

Absolutley the best Home Bike stand on the market
This bike stand arrived in a relatively small box, which upon opening I realized that is the size of the stand when it is folded up. It fits easily in a closet or under a bed. However, when the legs are folded down and the main tube extended it is the most stable bike stand I have seen. All adjustments are made with cam levers that hold securely. It is very stable and costs about 2/3 of the price of a Park stand I saw marked down on sale in my local bike shop that didn't even fold up. You have to disassemble the legs on the Park for storage and this stand is easily twice as good. The magnetic tool tray which is included and not an added cost option is great. The head adjusts to every angle through 360 degrees and has pins to keep it from slipping no matter where you set the angle. The jaws have very good padding to not mar the finish on your bike. I looked at several lower priced stands that holds the bike by sitting on the bottom bracket, which pinches cables, sits on the cable...

Great Stand!!
Pound for pound, it doesn't get any better. I've worked on stands that are twice the cost of this one, with no difference in functionality, strength, or convenience. It's sturdy, light, and this thing folds up to be portable. Height and head adjustments just like the expensive stands, too. Don't let the price make you think this isn't a quality stand. You won't be disappointed.
Compact
This is a very good bike stand it folds up tight because the head flips backwards leaving it parallel to the main bar unlike all others I have seen very steady and easy to rotate.

Tools built with pride and attention to detail
I purchased this tool kit to start a professional repair business. All my life life I had been using standard mechanics tools to fix bikes.

First impression:
When I opened the tool box I noticed that the handle was screwed through the lid. Most plastic tool boxes just have a handle snapped into place with plastic tabs and such. Then as I was sorting the new tools out, I noticed that there was no hole in the handle under the top tray. Every tool box I own has a hole under the tray handle which allows small tools to fall through. Then the second tray was made out of steel, not plastic. Down at the bottom the bigger tools were inserted into dense die cut foam. ... and that's just the top quality of the tool box. Bikehand obviously pays attention to all the details!

Every tool was nicely finished. Not a single cheap item or shortcut. The Allen Keys in the picture look just like a hundred other cheap Allen Key sets but look again, they are huge as in extra long...

Sturdy home repair stand
I read many other reviews about how others were surprised at how sturdy this stand is, but I was still surprised myself once I got it in my hands and put my bike up. It is big, strong, and durable; this really will last you at least most of a lifetime of biking. Fully extended it can put the top of the bike over your head, so no worries about having to bend into uncomfortable positions to get anything done. "Portable" might be a bit of a stretch, as there are lighter and smaller stands out there (like the Park Tool PCS-11 Super Lite Home Mechanic Repair Stand), but this will still fold up and should fit into most cars without taking up too much space.

I went ahead and chose this over the less expensive Park Tool PCS-9 Home Mechanic Work Stand to get the quick-release clamps, which I recommend; after all, you want to spend your time...

Great bike stand
I selected the PCS-10 because it was advertised to have a better bike clamp than the PCS-9 that can hold recumbent and other unusual bikes. For the moment, I have a very traditional bike, but who knows what my next bike will be? Why not spend a little extra and get a stand that will work with whatever bike I decide to get in the future?

I'm glad I spent the extra money. The bike clamp is awesome. No doubt it can hold any kind of bike ever made. The entire stand is easy to adjust and very sturdy. This stand will last a lifetime.

The stand design is elegant -- simple and functional. The stand easily folds up when not in use.

Another home run for Park Tools.
Heavy duty work stand, well made
I purchased the Park Tool PCS-10 Home Mechanic Repair Stand as a birthday present for my son-in-law, who has been rebuilding several old bicycles for fun. When I saw his Bianci 10-speed suspended rock-solid at eye-level I knew I had made a great choice. The PCS-10 is much bigger than the pictures indicate, yet it folds up into a compact package for storage. The clamp works very well, and once the bike is in its jaws you can rotate it to just about any position you need for a convienent work position. I also purchased the Park Tool tool tray to keep tools and parts organized and at hand. This stand really makes doing both routine maintenance and repair/rebuild bike work a pleasure. No more sore knees and aching back.
