Before I purchased my TS-2, I used it heavily every day for years in a bike shop. This is hands-down the most reliable and durable truing stand on the market... an excellent addition to any home repair shop!

Way back when, when I worked as a bike mechanic, this is the stand I used. You can dial in a pro wheel with it and turn around and do a kids bike. It hasnt changed a bit in years. It is solid as a rock, simple, and easy to use ... assuming you know your way around a wheel, that is! Its self-centering (and accurate and fully adjustable), and the calipers will not jam or gouge. It is definitely the US shop standard stand.
Although this can be used in a vice, that wouldnt be my first choice, first and foremost because it will probably result in the stand being too low. Do yourself a favor and permanently mount it if you have the bench space.
Very solid, heavy steel, and the chrome plating is up to commercial needs. This stand will last for many decades in a shop and outlive you if used at home. If you are serious enough to do your own wheels at home, skip Parks home wheel truing stand and buy this one.
