Park Tool was founded in Saint Paul, Minnesota in 1963 by Howard Hawkins and Art Engstrom, the owners of a Schwinn bicycle dealership. The idea was straightforward: the tools needed to properly service a bicycle didn't exist, so they built them. Their first product — the PRS-1 repair stand — was so well-received by other shops and by Schwinn itself that Hawkins and Engstrom eventually sold their bike shops entirely to focus on the tool business. Today, Park Tool is the world's largest bicycle tool manufacturer, producing over 500 products sold in more than 70 countries. Learn more at Park Tool's website

RA Cycles stocks the Park Tool lineup from professional shop equipment — including the Team Issue PRS-25 repair stand and the TS-2Di dial indicator truing stand — down to everyday essentials like spoke wrenches, tire levers, hex sets, and snap ring pliers. The collection also includes Park Tool's torque wrenches, bottom bracket tools, cassette and chain tools, and lubricants, covering both the home mechanic and a full-service workshop setup.
