One thing I like about Park is that they stand behind their tools and will send replacement parts. Example, I have an old version of the PRS2 workstand, must be AT LEAST 15 years old, maybe older, I bought it used off C/L. It was missing a small part, so I sent Park an email asking how to buy the part. They sent me the part free, no charge.

On the other hand, I picked up a five year old Minoura 6000 workstand that the prior owner had messed up the mast. It has a small nylon bushing inside the mast. I contacted Minoura directly, they told me the parts were no longer available, even though you can still buy this stand brand new on line. And their product diagram was a joke. It showed the mast assembly as one part, when in reality, it has about 15 to 20 parts inside of it. The reason I was looking for a good diagram is the former owner had taken the mast apart to "fix" it, and then could not figure out how to put it back together.

Park 1, Minoura zero.
