Park Tool PT-05 Hex Tool

Not sure what took me so long to finally buy this Park Tool PT-05 hex wrench! OMG! It is long enough and strong enough to inspire confidence when removing and install old-school crank bolts. Great fit and finish. Very confortable. Having the end of the hex shaft peek out of the handle makes initial insertion of the bolts so quick. The angled end is short enough to prevent the tool from torquing out of the bolt head - by design. So much better than a regulat long hex key. Excellent feel. (Once in a lifetime you may need a hex bit and a breaker bar, but this is another situation entirely!) Recommended.

Worked well for my egg beater pedals, a solid too for the purpose.The fast side makes changing pedals quick, and the other side isn't really needed for getting them on because you shouldn't crank them down. But when you need to get pedals off that are fused to the bike the large size is very critical to getting the job done!

Great tool for Shimano PD-M530 pedals (can't use typical pedal wrench on these). Handles provides enough leverage to remove pedals. Hint: remove/re-lube pedal threads every few months, and when tightening doesn't need a lot of torque to keep pedals in place (provided you have the correct pedals on each side!)

I used a 3-4" hex wrench for yearsThe leverage of this makes it so much less of a hassle to switch pedalsStop deliberating over $10 and just buy yourself this wrench if you dont have a real pedal wrench. Its ridiculously worth it

This has plenty of leverage and grip at the handle to remove pedal spindles from the inside of the crank without being too long of a shaft at the other end.I use a torque wrench and hex socket for installing the pedals but this works much better for removing them than a socket because it doesn't stick out from the crank nearly as much and thus I am not nearly as likely to get bit by the chainwheels removing the driveside pedal when using this tool.

I feel like this was not strong enough to handle the torque made possible by the long handle. 5 minutes after unpacking it, I tried to take off a pedal and the end just twisted like it was made of pot metal. Not the quality I've learned to expect from Park Tool.

This is nice for all around wrenching but it stripped out first thing when I tried to remove a stuck pedal.

Probably was a unnecessary purchase at the time but I'm glad I bought it because I've used it much more than I thought. It has a great length to it so it gives you the torque you need to turn a stubborn nut. And obviously, just because it's park tool, doesn't mean that you have to only use it on bicycles! Park tool always makes products that are fantastic quality and this doesn't disappoint.
