Home Repair Stand

Carla Sowinski

I'm considering buying a home repair stand and am looking for some opinions.
Here are the models I'm considering.

Park PCS Series (1, 4 or 9)
Ultimate BRS-70B
Trek Wrench Force

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I recently bought a Topeak to use at home (never actually owned a stand=20
before!) I like it a lot, and the killer ap is that it includes a nifty =

digital scale...

I like the Ultimate. I like the fact that you can rotate the bike around the
axis of the extension arm (i.e. the one pointing at you when you look at a
bike from the side) without having to loosen and then tighten anything, you
just crank it and it stays in its new place. Not sure if the others can do
that.

Oh, this ends badly.
