Park Tool PW-5 Wrench

The PW-5 is designed specifically for pedals that require a 15mm open-end wrench. While this covers the vast majority of standard bicycle pedals, some high-end or specialized pedals require a 6mm or 8mm hex key instead, so check your pedal spindle before purchasing.

Pedals can become extremely tight over time due to oxidation and the natural pedaling motion that tightens them against the crank arm. The 11.5-inch length of the PW-5 provides the necessary leverage to break those stubborn pedals loose with minimal effort.

Yes, the vinyl coating is durable and designed to withstand the rigors of a home workshop. It provides a comfortable, non-slip grip that protects your hands when applying significant force, though it may eventually show signs of wear if stored in harsh conditions.

This tool is purpose-built for pedals. While the 15mm opening might fit other nuts on a bike, the tool's specific geometry and length are optimized for the tight clearance and high torque requirements of pedal removal, making it less ideal for general-purpose wrenching.

The PW-5 is constructed from heat-treated spring steel, which is exceptionally rigid and resistant to bending. This material choice ensures the wrench maintains its shape under pressure, significantly reducing the risk of slipping or damaging the flats on your pedal spindles.
