They have two different sizes on each wheel so what you need.

Just buy them all and you'll never guess the right size. Seriously, they come in two different sizes per wheel, so you'll need at least two of these wheels. I judged the size in a hurry, so sometimes I was too big or too small and had to use it with an improvised solution. I should get a few more of these, but next time I'll try measuring the nuts first.

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Generally ok, but...

I'm glad I bought this wrench

I was trying to replace a bent axle but didn't have a wrench thin enough to loosen the bearing cone and lock nut. After discussing the possibility of sharpening one of my combination wrenches, I decided to wait and buy this tool. I'm glad I did because it's a well made tool at a reasonable price and the combination wrench doesn't fit the flats as tightly as this tool. In addition, it is longer than the standard open-end wrench and has a rubberized grip for more comfort.

Pros
  • Wow
Cons
  • Almost never

Good for tightening BMW struts!

This wrench was perfect for tightening the stabilizer bar end links on my BMW Z4. I used a wrench to hold the back as I tightened the front to spec. It's certainly thin enough to easily fit between the rubber mount and stand brace, but still holds up well and doesn't slip off when tightened. Don't expect it to be reusable, but still hope it will last for many years to come. This should be taken into account as I have a different size from the same brand which still looks new after 5 years.

Pros
  • New

Useful but flimsy - not sure how long it will last

I have a light stand with wheels (for photography) and I have to stretch the bag's zip a lot to zip it up over the wheels, so I wanted to start shooting before I packed the travel tripod. This wrench is great for removing and reinstalling wheels and fits easily in a small wheel bag. This is perfect for what I need as this stand isn't really made for travel so I only occasionally need to remove the wheels. However, if it were for everyday use, it's so thin I really don't think it would last…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Some insects

Need to Buy Park Tools? No, are they better made than the cheap ones? Are they worth it? If you want to buy your tools once, yes. The price of some Park instruments is so hard to justify. However, most are like this and only a few dollars more. For those few dollars, you get the best possible fit and tools that are always of the highest quality. about how long it will take. Sorry, but both concerns are absurd. This tool has to be, and as long as you push the limits of torque far and wide, this…

Pros
  • Easy Installation
