I got the x-tools stand ,when it was 800 rondt.Better then the PCS9.

Toppeak was 2x the price,worth it if you intend on getting the scale.

PCS-10 - those quick releases are worth the extra.

 

If you can afford it, of course the PRS-25 is the dogs dangles too if you pack it up and store it away a fair bit.

I have the PCS-10. It works well and can fold away pretty quickly.

Excellent stand, paid about 1800 for mine a year ago, no issues with it.

How big does it fold into,

 

Do you have the work tray?

Haven't got the work tray because I have a convenient workshop bench.

 

It folds into a shape similar to a photographic tripod - obviously not the same folding mechanics as a tripod though. Size approx. 700mm x 200mm diameter

I have the work tray because I sometimes use it in the garden, (away from convienient workbench) and its usefull for washing bikes as well - I don't do that in the garage.

I have the pcs10 and think it is more convenient to have the extra clamp that it offers compared to the 9. Its a great sturdy and robust work stand. Folds up small when its packed away if need be.

I think the TOPEAK is better than the Park Tool 9 or 10 models.

 

It's much sturdier, it's awesome build/finish quality, and I think the clamp offers more possibilities with the 360 variable rotation.

 

I have the tray and the scale... but i'm a geek, and want to weight stuff...

 

it folds down nicely and also comes with a really nice carry bag.

PRS 20 or 21. Ive been using one for about 4 years now, and its excellent. You can work on the front or the rear of the bike, its height adjustable, turns 360 deg, very stable and and its easy to take with you if you are doing mult day races. What more could you ask for?

Yes it is better but also has a bigger price tag.
