However look at the price. Most people aren't going to shell out that kind of money for tool used occasionally at home. The issue (for example mlamb01's PCS-10 workstand) is about what the consumer is willing to spend. The PCS-10 is only $170 and it works about like you'd expect from a cheap tool. The PCS-3 is as good as...and probably better... the EVT workstand head for about the same cost. mlamb01's problem with the TS-8 truing stand is similar...he got what he paid for. The TS-2 is a much better and far more expensive tool.

I'm not necessarily defending Park on all of their tools but, over all, the ones I own have all been of very good quality...but then I didn't buy the least expensive to begin with. Pay once of good tools or pay twice for crappy tools.
