Just a quick heads up. Was doing some looking round and had settled on the Parktool PCS9 at £90 at CRC and everywhere else, then I found the PCS10 for the same price on Amazon.

Strange because it comes up for £150 everywhere else and £135 on CRC !

Snatch (just like using that word) at that price !!! 😆

£70 for a pcs9 or £90 for a pcs10, I know it's only £20 more but is it worth it?

The PCS10 seems to resolve the issues some have moaned about in the 9. I've not seen the 10 anywhere else at anything close to that price. Even think it might be a mistake on Amazons part.

Mine has been dispatched 😀

Mine arrived today. Ordered last week. It's rather heavy. Should be tough enough.

Personally thing the clamp on the 9 is a lot easier to use

the clamp is a little easier until you get used to the cam on the PCS 10. The PCS9 clamp sticks when you want to rotate the bike, can be a PITA.

the PCS 9 means you can't use the wheel truing attachment :

oh and the shop towel holder...

I ordered my PCS-10 2 hours later as recommended for £90 on Amazon.
