Park Tool WH-1 Wheel Holder

What a great device! It's simple, easy-to-use, and makes bicycle wheel maintenance SO much easier!The wheel holder includes axles for various types of wheels, but accommodates quick-release wheels without the need for one of the supplied axles.The wheels are held securely, so even when wrestling with a tough-to-remove/replace tire, the whole assembly stays steady and secure. Would that I'd had this tool years ago!As can be seen in the images, it doesn't require a large vise to hold the WH-1, (or WH-2 for that matter), to your workbench; even a medium sized 'quick clamp', such an Irwin Quick Clamp, would probably hold the WH-1 in place securely if you do not own a vise.Another 'plus' about the WH-1, and the WH-2 as well, is how much easier it is to clean the wheels.The WH-1 is a bit pricey but just with the few uses it's had, I feel it's worth every penny.

This park tool is a good tool for working on a Bike wheel. It allows for better control and stability since the hub sits on tool stub and it can be move to change the position of the wheel. The unit is kind of pricey at $100. But if you need a tool that holds the wheel while you’re working on the tube/tire and you got a bench table to mount it then, it’s a tool to have when working on a bicycle.

I made the switch to tubeless recently and decided to pick up this tool. Like all Park products it is excellent and I think it makes tire work much easier. Easy to set up in a vice and simple to mount wheels at multiple angles. For tubeless especially it makes taping and other tasks much more pleasant.

Although the price tag is steep on this one for what it does, it is worth it if you work on wheels much. It will securely hold a wheel with any standard hub (quick release or standard sizes of through axle) in one of three different positions; vertical (good for distributing sealant, tensioning spokes, etc.), horizontal (good for dishing, installing cassettes/rotors, etc.), and 30 degrees (good for almost anything else - GREAT for replacing tubes/tires). It can bolt to your workbench, or be clamped if you don't want it permanently attached. It can also be held in your vise pretty securely.The price tag did make me hesitate, but I'm very glad I pulled the trigger on this. It will make several awkward jobs much more enjoyable every time I do them.

I finally bought a Park tool that, although built like a tank, is USELESS for a bike with a QR spindle (out of the box).Ikept it because I am a Park Tools guy, and it will work for some bikes, as sent.I use the hardened steel bolt from my Deuter stationary trainer, QR aide in, cog out, and it holds well enough to change a tube and tire without destroying the axle. This same procedure would destroy my normal road axle if I tried this.While I was super disappointed to see that a hardened QR axle hadn't been included, I do like and use the tool. Shouldn't have to do a thing except install and use.Not worth the money.

I primarily use this for tubeless set up on mountain bike wheels. It's so much easier than using a truing stand for tubeless set up. I've both used in a vice and bolted to a bench, both ways work well. It's also nice to have multiple angles to work on a wheel. 100% must for a bike shop.

This makes everything wheel and tire related 100% easier. I wish I would have bought it so much sooner than I did. Love it.

Having used frequently for various wheel maintainence chores over the last several months, everall I like this tool, it functions like a 3rd set of hands to hold wheels while working on them. For the price though there are a few issues I have run across:- The thru axle rod needs a way to lock into the key slot better. The plastic thumb screw always seems to work loose no matter how much you tighten it (including with a wrench).- The thru axle rod isn't long enough to come all the way thru a rear wheel on a 12x142 bike. Which is really frustrating because the wheel doesn't sit fully supported on the tool and I feel like I am going to damage a bearing. I almost can't believe that they didn't make the rod a couple cm longer to properly support a rear hub. Unless there is a reason for it being too short that i am missing?- I wish there was a way to lock the wheel onto the thru axle rod. trying to work a tire onto a wheel in the vertical position i often pull the wheel off the tool.- the quick releases on my road bike don't fit thru the holes in the tool. which is usually fine except when i need to work on the rear axle "cassette out" which requires removing the QR and flipping it around.- The little c-shaped washer thing they give to use with quick release spindles is basically useless but you can tighten the QR down enough to get it to grab properly. its just annoying when finished with your task to have to open it all the way back up again to put the wheel back on the bike.
