Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Efficiently Tackle Your Home Mechanic Needs with Park Tool PW-5 Pedal Wrench by Ben Barrington

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Savior! Makes pedal removal a breeze!

***Plus, after two years and a few dozen bikes, I'm still happy with this tool. I repair bikes that were donated to an orphanage in Mexico, so I've used them on a lot of different bikes. *** Should have bought this a long time ago! The extra length gives you the leverage you need to easily remove most pedals. The thin flats (approx. 2 mm) also fit narrow pedal nuts without any problems. You can also use it as a cone wrench on most axes. Remember that the left pedal has left-hand threads, so it loosens when turned clockwise, not counter-clockwise like a (regular) right-hand thread. A pro tip for very tight pedals is to park your bike at a square curb and place the other pedal on the high side of the curb and then hop on the bike. If you don't have a square border, you can stack some bricks or short 2x4 pieces. Like all Park tools, this high quality tool is built to last. (Note that you don't need to tighten the pedals, just push them down with your hand and they'll tighten as you ride.)

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
