People let me tell you, when I buy something off of Amazon, especially a tool, my expectations are NOT high. This stand however would have easily doubled my expectations if it were half as good as it is! I had assumed my bike (Surly Cross Check) would be a bit heavy and cause the stand to be wobbly, ensuring significant swearing on my part. Not so! Even with saddle bags (ahem, pardon me: panniers) it’s solid. My rule one of tools is buy budget, replace professional. I’ve never used a Park, but having seen them in use I can’t see an appreciable difference. Would happily buy again. FWIW, I don’t generally write reviews. Feel free to fact check that with my profile. This repair stand absolutely warranted one!
