 Great Tool, December 11, 2008
By Transit88 (Bay Area, CA)
|
|
This is a great tool. Contrary to other users' comments, the tool provides more than enough torque to get the job done. Great value!

Can you really trust someone named "Bubba"?, October 4, 2008
By crazy person (USA)

Park makes great tools. If you can't remove your pedals with this tool, something is wrong with either you or your pedals.

Simple and easy, March 14, 2011
By The Aloha Kid
|
|
If you're like me and had never changed pedals on a bike before, don't worry about it! This wrench makes it easy. Good amount of leverage with the long handle. Seems to be well made, and I thought the cost of the wrench would be about how much a bike shop would charge me to put the pedals on.

Pedal Wrench, February 5, 2011

The pedal wrench works fine. My pedals were on really tight. I had to tap the wrench handle with hammer, but they did come loose.

 Doesnt WOrk, September 9, 2008
By Bubba (New York, NY United States)

Dont buy this, the handle is too short. You wont be able to get enough torque to remove the pedals. Its a waste of money.

An overpriced 15mm wrench, April 1, 2012
By R. Guzman (Virginia)
|
|
You can find a 15mm wrench at any store that sells tools, for about 3 bucks at the low end, ~7 bucks for a good brand, but nothing spectacular is needed for changing pedals. I used a cheap made in china wrench to replace mine with no issues.

Good basic wrench, August 18, 2011
By Cheff Jeff (Haddam Neck, CT USA)
|
|
Nice long handle, relatively heavy and seems well made and sturdy for a good price. Not much to rave about, but it is just a pedal wrench....

Excellent tool!, January 12, 2012
By MItchell2911
|
|
I was a little hesitant to buy this tool due to some of the bad reviews, but I got it anyway because of the price. I'm glad I did! I had no trouble swapping the stock pedals for clipless on my new bike. Maybe those who wrote the bad reviews are not mechanically inclined at all. A great tool at a great price!

 Worked like a charm, December 30, 2011
By Hector M. Lugo (Dayton, OH United States)
|
|
Well, I spent days and lots of muscle power and stress due to frustration trying to get a pedal off, and ten seconds getting it off with this pedal wrench. It almost made me crazy to think something so simple did with such ease what I could not do in hours of trying.

 15 mm wrech, December 26, 2011
By edward willis
|
|
This is just a thin 15 mm wrench - available every where they sell good tools - Sears etc.
If you cant figure out how it works , you should not be working on your bike.

Nothing *wrong* with it..., December 16, 2011
By Matthew Pearson (Omaha, Nebraska United States)
|

How many times do you need to use a pedal wrench? Once? Twice a year? if it's just a couple of times, this wrench is perfectly fine! It will do the job and can even stand in for a 15mm cone wrench in some situations.
This wrench was a blessing after removing a handful of pedals with my poor cone wrench when a standard 15mm wouldn't fit. But that poor, poor cone wrench took a beating when I asked it to do things it wasn't designed to do. After straightening a second or third time and soothing the sharp pain in my hand from trying to apply significant torque to the thin wrench, I bought this tool. FANTASTIC! It was amazing how much easier a job can be once you get the right tool!
But then, after a trip to Moab, the dang thing vanished. Instead of buying it again, I bought the "pro" model, which is longer, stronger, has a nice round handle, and openings on both sides of the head so that you can grab the pedal from almost any position. These differences are nice, but completely unnecessary unless you're popping off a lot of pedals. if you just want a nice pedal wrench as a "just-in-case" or for infrequent swaps, the PW-5 is perfect! If you have a higher workflow, the pricier model might be better suited for your needs.

wrench, November 22, 2011
By M. Sorensen (Seattle, WA)

Works great. Just like it should. Made of strong metal, gives just enough padding for your hands and is long enough to provide good leverage.

great pedal wrench, October 28, 2011
By Joe Stalin (New Mexico)
|
|
The wrench arrived promptly and worked well for removing and installing bicycle pedals. It is not a multi tasker so you can't use it for a lot of other things. Still cheaper and quicker than hauling the bike to the shop to have the pedals changed. Well worth having.

Functional, August 15, 2011
By H. S. Gray (Exeter, UK)
|
|
It works very well and is what the mechanics at my local bike shop use so feel it is up to long term use. No problems here. Park tools have always been good to me.

All the tool you need for the home mechanic, March 27, 2011
By wood butcher, music fanatic (Arlington, MA USA)
|
|
This is a fine pedal wrench at 15mm, and should last as long as any home mechanic will ever need. The slender blade of these tools is optimal for getting to the limited wrench area on a pedal.
I got this instead of the beefier and more expensive Park PW-4. I momentarily regretted that, as I was having trouble removing pedals from a 20+ year old build that I was rebuilding. While a larger wrench still might have overcome the problem, as others have pointed out, it is really a matter of proper position/leverage and some Liquid Wrench on corroded or old assemblies. With a reasonable application of both, the pedals came right off.

Gets it done right, August 22, 2010
By Jason Brown (Virginia, USA)
|
|
Basic and competent pedal wrench got the job done well at a good price. Made the task easy. Able to get the old ones off and the new ones on with no contact with the chainring. Did not mar the new pedals either!

Great tool, November 21, 2009
By Transplant Recipient (USA)
|
|
The Park pedal wrench is worth getting. I have some narrow head tappet wrenches, but they were too uncomfortable to use on pedals. The extra length of this wrench, along with its plastic coated handle, make it a lot easier to remove your pedals.

 Stripped my pedals, November 14, 2011
By tx_danielm
|
|
I did not care for this wrench. It fit my pedal well, and provided enough leverage try and turn the pedal, but I ended up stripping the pedals. I'm not sure if the metal on the original pedals was too soft, but I stripped them nonetheless. The wrench didn't seem wide enough to get a good grasp on the pedal. I ended up taking it to my bike shop and their wrench was a little wider and they seemed to come off easy.

Good....it's a wrench, March 23, 2012
By M. Sharp (Simi Valley, CA United States)
|
|
What can I say, it's a good, skinny wrench. One of my pedals was difficult to get off, so I used this with a "nudge" from a hammer and it loosened up right quick. Good tool.

Not a bike repair guy then use this, May 7, 2012
By K. Badders (Illinois)
|

I rated this item five stars because it is a high quality tool made by a great company (saw it being used in a bike shop and they recommended all of the Park, tools line). However if you are only changing a pair or a few bike peddles you might want to use what you already have. Which is a 15 mm wrench or a 5/8th one which is the one I used with no problem and my peddles were stuck on so tight a vice grip and an adjustable wrench just slipped off. I had to use Liquid Wrench, which I also had but it can be bought for under three bucks a small bottle and a 1 inch by 12 inch piece of black pipe which I slipped over the wrench also under three dollars for leverage. Total cost if bought is under 10.00 and you can use the tool and Liquid Wrench, for other jobs unrelated to this. However I am going to look into the Park tool lineup maybe they make some tools that can't be substituted for. UPDATE: I just looked at the Park tools and there are many great tools that probably only they make and if I spotted this tool earlier I probably would have bought it.Park Tool HCW-16 Chain Whip/15mm Pedal Wrench
