And it is easier to operate single handed than the silly screw type clamps. I have that kind of clamp at home and far prefer it to the Park screw type clamps my local co-op has.
My stand isn’t the professional grade one but it is close. I paid a whole lot for it 30 years ago and have never regretted doing so.
For the win. If you are serious about working on your own bikes, listen to this man.
