Omg moving the park stand is the worst 😅 I’ve pinched my hands in it trying to move it more than once and my height adjusting Allen bolts are stripped so I can’t move it. The bike hand looks nicely designed. Thanks for the awesome comparison!
I owned that Park Tool stand and now own the Bike Hand, and prefer the Bike Hand (no pun intended) hands down. However, I have to point this out; If I were a pro wrench, I would undeniably choose a Park Tool stand (more likely, the next model up, their PCS-10). Any Park Tool stand is great, but for a home shop doing mostly light maintenance & tuning & cleaning, I'll take the Bike Hand all day long. It offers great value for the money. One just has to remember that these aren't pro stands for mounting and removing bikes quickly out of them especially with the plastic adjustments. In any home hobbyist set-up, they should last forever, but for someone who might do maybe more aggressive riding (either road or MTB), they'd benefit from the heavier duty construction of any Park Tool product. Having said all of that, my PCS-9 stand was a bear to deal with while the Bike Hand is a joy to work with. I love mine. Once you get the hang of it, it's so easy to mount your bike and to remove it, moving it around the shop floor is a breeze and it feels very substantial. It doesn't feel flimsy. Nice build. And its very stable as well. The problem with Park Tool stands is that they're so well built that you really can't justify buying another one. They're gonna last forever. For anyone with the PCS-9, I believe you can upgrade the clamp to a PCS-10 and in my humble opinion, it's well worth it. It will change your life. My 2 cents. BTW, GREAT review!
Thanks for commenting. I like the stability of the Park Tool for me, and my hub like the bike Hand. So we each get a stand! 100% agree. Park Tool makes solid products, This is an older stand, maybe that's why it was a raffle item. 😅
Sorry .. the only reason to like the park tool stand is the name. I love their tools but I have had both stands and kept the hand. The “plastic” is a composite that is super sturdy. The adjustment and build quality is far superior for less money. Buy a name or buy a stand IMO
The Park tool stand I found was very cumbersome not to mention the disgusting asking price. The reviews for it are not too favourable either. I went for the HomCom stand at $42.25. Had it for 2 years now and still going strong with an average of weekly usage.
I love ParkTool for all their tools and UA-cam videos! However, for bike stand check out Feedback Sports. I own the Classic since 2 years and would never change it. Its stable, lots of adjustment and once collapsed its very small and fits in its high quality bag. Nice video.
Prices are very similar now the bike hand is not as budget priced as it once was pre pandemic and with the upgraded knobs on the park 9.3. now that they are closer in price and the stand is fully adjustable its Park for the win. 50 dollars more at this time.
I haven't looked in a while at the prices. I personally only use the Park stand. It's where I work on my bike, but it's been sitting outside rusting a little bit, I still need to add that quick release so I can put it away easier. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks, I got the bike hand. I fix bikes mobile. It's very light fits in my shop bmw suv. Love the smooth moving parts. It even attracts customers. Grate reviews ,happy biking
I got the bike hand mainly cause it will handle 110ib v park's at 80 lbs and my ariel ruder x-clss is a bit over 80lb snd the claws are not really plastic they are glass filled nylon and bike hand is cheaper too
Anyone watching this: Be careful with the quick release collar for the legs on these stands, make sure its really clamped down well. The newer park tool stuff has a silver spring button that prevents it from slipping up and collapsing.
I also own both stands Park Tools stand for displaying bike and photo purposes. When it comes to actually repair/tune up bikes, Bike Hand is much better in terms of price, weight, hike quality. Park Tools really is milking their buyers with this cheaper build stand with heavier material.
Finally, a review/comparison that actually answers all the questions everyone wants answers to! Why do those other UA-camrs take a half hour to explain so little?
Good chat about the bike stands. I have the same Park Tool stand. Had it for years, real reliable and sturdy but I keep it up in the garage because its not practical to keep folding it down. That Bike Hand stand looks convenient for travelling and folding away. I may consider that for moving about. I would say that Park Tools engineering quality is hands down better in this scenario, less plastic components. Thanks for sharing!
I have the bikehand one, and for home garage bike repairs is the best. I store it by hanging it on a wall rask, and it works great. The park tool, which I do not own, looks sturdier, but a lot less convenient.
I perfer the Bike Hand for ease of use, storage and mobility. The tool / parts holder is nice. I have one bike and this will last as a light duty tool.
The two stands aren't even comparable at best. The similar Park stand is the PCS 10.2 to the Bike Hand stand in the video. For durability and stability, plastic anything is not a good thing period...big con
Great idea, but that would mean I would need to buy it. : ) If Park Tool wants to send little ol me one to review, I would be happy to do it. but I'm pretty sure I'm not on their radar. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I have this park tool stand and to me it's easy to adjust up and down and to fold it up too.I think I have most of the park tools they put out just for home use there wheel jig is great too.But like all of park tools you pay for them.
Would have loved to see you wobble each one with the bike on it so we could actually see how stable they are. Otherwise good review, short and concise.
Love the Bike Hand stand. I got both and returned the Park. The weight and collapsiblity difference is there and it really adds up when you have to lug it up and down 3 flights of stairs from apartment to garage or take it to a friend's place
@@AdventureMuse Good! :) I was actually looking to see how BikeHand tools are rated, as I am considering buying their Chain Tool and Chain Wrench over the Park tools. They are about 1/2 the price, but being Taiwan made, are of far better quality than the Chinese one. I have the Park mini-tool, but the full sized BikeHand is rated quite well. I have the PCS 10.2 Stand - It's the best. I have had it 2 years and was accidentally sent/paid for two - Friend saw how good it was and immediately bought it from me. We also go to Thailand for 2 months/year - 6 Grandchildren. I need a bike stand for there, but not a cheepo but not an expensive Park 10 !!! BTW - your review was pretty good. :)
Thanks. 🙏 I’ve been using the park tool more, but we will take the bike hand with us to events or even loan it out because it’s easier to transport. Both have held up- the park tool is rusting, but it does get left outside.
That's park tools cheap stand, they make allot better one, however it's about $190. Park tool is way overpriced. Paying for the name. Stopped buying park tool tools.
Great, comparison. I am not fan of plastic stuff in this use, but worst plastic repair stand head must be Topeak prepstandpro. It use a big knob to tighten clamp, and uses teeth to adjust angle but it's flexible, and has alot of play. Also overpriced.
I meant Elite and Pro, I used the Elite, cus as a fast solution cus a local store had it. but both are as bad, same design only thing is Pro has a weight at the arm.
@@AdventureMusehi should I buy the hand or the park 10.3 delux, there’s a £60 price difference. Won’t be used in anger, just occasionally and folded when not in use. Please recommend. Thanks
Bike Hand is a great choice. Light, flexible configuration and easy to collapse. I use it in the garage and in the parking lot at the trail. Bike Hand is my choice. The tool shelf on the Bike Hand is made of plastic and will break, so be careful. Great review!
@@AdventureMuse Did you get the 55lb rated (Standard) stand or the 110lb (Heavy Duty) stand for your husband? I have the standard 55lb. So far no issues even with heavier steel framed bikes.
Thanks for the review, I appreciate it. Considering how much mountain bikes go for, I have no second thoughts about just going straight for the Park Tool PCS 10-2 stand for currently $230 on Amazon. In comparison to the price of bikes, getting & paying the price for the highest quality stand I can find within reason, is just the obvious choice for myself. I'm not comfortable with the plastic parts on the Bike Hand stand. I only began riding again in the last 7 years, and I purchased the Bike Hand "complete"(or at least the one with the most tools that they sell), and I deeply regret not just buying the highest quality tools I could afford, as I need them in place of that decision.
They both have pros and cons. Park tool made some improvements on the PCS 10-2. They added all the things I wasn't happy with. A Quick release, and easier to fold up. amzn.to/3hCyNCV
@AdventureMuse , thanx for your review . I made my mind up for the 98 dollar bike hand stand . May I ask where you got that awsome bike life shirt ? I luv that shirt soo much ... thanx
Thanks for watching and a great choice. I got that tee from a local bike shop - RockNRoad here in Orange County, CA, but I don't see it on their site. It's a Damion Hickman Design. Found it here. www.triathletestore.com/products/damion-hickman-design-tee-bikelife
Does the Bike Hand open wide enough to insert an aero seat post(2 5/8 in, 75 mm) or seat tube (3 1/8in 80mm)? I have seen various answers.Example: It "handles up to 2 1/2 in" : to "able to handle up tp 3 1/2 in".
I have watched a GMBN video about hot to hang bike on a workstand. They do not recommend to hang bikes from top tube because it is not designed for that kind of force. They recommend to hang it from seat post. Worth checking 👍 frames are so expensive nowadays 😉
I know.... I don't clamp it down tight and generally toss a rag around the frame. My newer bike - not in this video... has a rock shock dropper and when I was clamping it to the post, I swear it messed it up. It's cheaper than the frame... but still...
Omg moving the park stand is the worst 😅 I’ve pinched my hands in it trying to move it more than once and my height adjusting Allen bolts are stripped so I can’t move it. The bike hand looks nicely designed. Thanks for the awesome comparison!
I'm comfortable with it now, and I pinched my hands on both. Mainly due to operator error. 😂
This is defenitly not their best model. I have not tried their portable stands, I got a Prs3.2-2 workshop stand.
Nice review! The Park 9.2 in Canada is double the price of the Bikehand Pro. Made my decision that much easier.
So glad I could help! The Bikehand is an excellent deal and so easy to move around and use.
Thanks for the comparative. Great shirt!
Thanks so much. One of my favorite bike tees! I like your user name. : )

No need to apologize! I bought the bike hand and got the park for free at an event.

Great video! Found it since im looking for a good stand. Park tool now $200 😢 Bike Hand now $99.99 which I think im getting. Love your Santa Cruz btw
Thank you! Still love that bike, too!
Just got the Bike Stand. Cheaper than overpriced Park. Love it so far. Comes assembled and easy to use.
Glad you like it. They raised the price since I posted this video.

Park tool now makes easily foldable models
Good chat about the bike stands. I have the same Park Tool stand. Had it for years, real reliable and sturdy but I keep it up in the garage because its not practical to keep folding it down. That Bike Hand stand looks convenient for travelling and folding away. I may consider that for moving about. I would say that Park Tools engineering quality is hands down better in this scenario, less plastic components. Thanks for sharing!
It looked like the bike stand has a tool tray but the park tool didn't....or was that an accessory?
The bike hand does come with the tool try, and it comes in handy.
Looks like a no brainer between these 2
I have the bikehand one, and for home garage bike repairs is the best. I store it by hanging it on a wall rask, and it works great. The park tool, which I do not own, looks sturdier, but a lot less convenient.

Good comparison and shows clearly how much folks are overpaying for park tool just because of the name.
they are also using the cheapest one from park tool, get a higher end model and it would destroy it
Well, you can see that only over time. Will that plastic last as long as metal? Are you able to buy replacement parts, if something breaks?
@@xvnbm Good point. So far both are still in good working order. the Park Tool is starting to rust a little bit but still working as I showed.
@@xvnbm park tool has a limited lifetime warranty, sure their products are pricey but last forever.
You should compare it with pcs 10, with quick release one.
Bike hand. Its lighter and easier to wrench on vs the heavy parktool that's difficult to fold/unfold
The two stands aren't even comparable at best. The similar Park stand is the PCS 10.2 to the Bike Hand stand in the video. For durability and stability, plastic anything is not a good thing period...big con
NOT A FAIR COMPARISON.
you should compare with Park Tool Repair Stand 10.2
Great idea, but that would mean I would need to buy it. : ) If Park Tool wants to send little ol me one to review, I would be happy to do it. but I'm pretty sure I'm not on their radar. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Sweet Dee Reynolds from: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Within the first 10 seconds i immediately thought the same thing and went to the comments to see if I was alone.
Wow, that Bikehand looks awesom and sturdy. But u need to play wit doggie!
love your t-shirt !
Me, too!
Lol i made one of bambu,
I bought a CXWXC bike repair stand ,it cheaper and worked really well.
should clamp the seatpost, makes it a lot easier to secure the bike, especially with unusually shaped top tubes
I have this park tool stand and to me it's easy to adjust up and down and to fold it up too.I think I have most of the park tools they put out just for home use there wheel jig is great too.But like all of park tools you pay for them.
Would have loved to see you wobble each one with the bike on it so we could actually see how stable they are. Otherwise good review, short and concise.
Great suggestion. I think the park tool is more stable because of the weight, but both handle our bikes well.
Thank you so much for this review!
Bike hand is from Taiwan, very nice
Like carbon bikes...
I have the Park Tool bike stand. It is so cumbersome to store I don't think it is worth buying.
Agreed. Hopefully they have improved it with the latest version.
I got Prs3.2-2 for working at home. But if I would buy a stand it would be a different model, that has the clamp i mentioned.
Just came for the bird sounds I don’t have a bike, kidding,
Cess Outdoors i fuckin laughed out loud! That was funny
Love the Bike Hand stand. I got both and returned the Park. The weight and collapsiblity difference is there and it really adds up when you have to lug it up and down 3 flights of stairs from apartment to garage or take it to a friend's place
So glad you're happy with it! portability is key with the bike hand. Thanks for commenting. : )
1:17 - As soon as I saw that demo, I hit the purchase button on my Amazon shopping cart. #ZeroGarageSpace. 😁
Love the #tag. 😂 The Bike hand gets put away neatly, the parktool sits outside at our house. I'm assuming it's going to rust.
Most bikes recommend attaching to bike stands by the seat post, even if it is a dropper.
I do that now...

That's park tools cheap stand, they make allot better one, however it's about $190.
Park tool is way overpriced. Paying for the name. Stopped buying park tool tools.
I do mention that there is a newer better version. I won this at a raffle, and it works great foe a free stand😁 which stand do you own?

Just the comparison I needed. Thanks!
Great comparison. Suggestion: lower the music volume for your next video, otherwise editing was on point. 👍
Bike hand will fall apart in a few years.
Ours is still going strong, but so is the park tool, but it’s starting to rust..
@@AdventureMusehi should I buy the hand or the park 10.3 delux, there’s a £60 price difference. Won’t be used in anger, just occasionally and folded when not in use. Please recommend. Thanks
You lost me when you clamped the bike on the frame. A real mechanic would not do that.
A “real mechanic” that’s funny. Never said I was, and there is much debate on this topic.
The wrench bit was hilarious. Thanks for the comparison.
Thanks! Park tool has come out with an improved one not sure if you still get that adorable wrench.
cheap, light, reliable. Who says you can only pick two? Sometimes you can have ‘em all. 😂
Exactly!! : )

Kermite, the frog element. It's not on the periodic table because frogs don't menstruate.
Thank you! Perfect review & comparison.

Ordered the bikehand stand! It’ll make it easier to wash and work on my 2021 commencal clash!

henmich so funny!!
Did they make a new one? the price went up to $130 for the bike hand stand
it looks the same, but the price went up.
The bike hand used to be $90 a year ago? Now is $130.
Yup. I'm not sure if they have improved the quality, or just increased the price.
good review
DanTuber thanks so much. 😊
So, basically they both suck. Thanks, I'll build my own.
Ha! Neither are
Perfect, that’s for sure.
@@AdventureMuse I enjoy watching your videos
Just wondering would it hold a 50lb e bike
Probably not these versions, but both have more heavy duty versions.
amzn.to/2SpPg33
La bici no se sujeta del tubo si no del poste del asiento
No lo aprieto muy fuerte.
No no no , NEVER CLAMP THE FRAME
They both would hold better if clamped to the seat post.
People probably don't realise the Park Tool is made in China (see ua-cam.com/video/ryUtJKugNms/v-deo.html). I would not buy it on that premise alone.
