Great Cone Wrenches for the home bike mechanicApr 11, 2011
By Raleighphile
"Have Raleigh, will travel"
These hand tools, like most everything Park makes, are extremely well thought out and well made. They give great value to the home bicycle mechanic.
Cone wrenches are required for disassembling, reassembling, and even adjusting loose-ball bearing cones on bicycle wheels.
Often an assortment will be required and sometimes one will need two of the same sized wrenches -most often in the 13mm, 14mm, and 15mm sizes. The Park DCW assortment is sized with combinations with overlap so that only owning 3 or 4 of these wrenches will allow you to cover most any situation when working on common bicycle wheel bearing cones. The wrench comes in 4 sizes and due to the size overlap if you buy only one of each you are covered. There are different common size combinations that one runs into when working on a typical cone and cone locknut -often the combinations are: 13/15, 13/14, and 14/15. If one buys the DCW-1, DCW-2, DCW-3 that will cover most any combination of cone nut flats commonly encountered without having to buy any one single wrench twice. Notice how clever Park was when they created their line-up with built-in overlap of the wrench sizes since one can only use one side of a double-sided wrench at a time.
The tool's coating is a neat non-slip and corrosion-resistant finish that feels nice to hold. The tools nest nicely and have a hole in one end so you can hang them on a hook together on a pegboard if you are into that kind of organization with your tool storage.
Park tools -those guys are thinking so you don't have to!
Pros:
*Excellent value especially considering the very reasonable and low price.
*Intelligent selection of sizes/combinations.
*Long-lasting high-quality wrenches.
*Non-slip, non-corroding finish.
*Hanging hole feature.
Cons:
*Not as much leverage as a long-handled single-sided bench-top cone wrench but Park makes a different professional model too, so it isn't fair to knock these wrenches for what they aren't supposed to be.

They work, but you can feel the priceNov 18, 2010
By Michael I just used one of these wrenches to adjust my rear hub and it worked all right. No marks on the wrench (yet). They do feel a little cheap though (I used to use Campagnolo wrenches back home). Funny: The German print on the package says that they are for hobbyists, the English label praises them as pro tools.

Sturdy but sharp edges if you plan to use as pedal wrenchMay 19, 2011
By G. Sindberg
"sindby"
I bought this wrench as a poor man's pedal wrench since it can multitask. It does the job, but make sure you keep some gloves handy for use when putting a lot of torque on the wrench. The edges are fairly sharp and the wrench is fairly short so places to grab it is limited. Overall, a good product from Park as usual though.

Exactly what I neededDec 14, 2010
By Morning Rider I am glad I was able to get this in the 13mm/15mm size to save from buying two wrenches. I bought this for my cheapo big box store bike which came with a wobbly front hub and I was easily able to adjust it with this wrench plus a regular 17mm opened end wrench. I read that the most common cone sizes are 13mm (front) and 15mm (rear). Not all sources carry this combination forcing you to buy two wrenches to overhaul a typical bike's hubs.
