$12.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Nice color. Cheap | | Weaknesses: | I couldn't even use the thing! It wouldn't fit my 15mm pedals!!! It was cast a little too small!! I had to borrow a friend's wrench. | | Similar Products Used: | Park's wrench is excellent (borrowed from friend). | | Bottom Line: | If you were smart enough to look for reviews BEFORE buying,
be smart enough to stay away from this garbage. I am very
dumb and will have to see what Performance can do for me. :) | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$12.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance.com | | Strengths: | It is cheap. Performance's awesome customer service enables you to return it quickly. | | Weaknesses: | It does not work. Rounded off the flats on one of my pedals (I know how to remove pedals). These were platforms I wasn't using any more, but it still made me mad.
The wrench is made poorly. The metal deforms when it is used even once if you have to use any force to get the pedal off. | | Similar Products Used: | Vice grip (needed to remove pedal after it's flats were rounded). Allen Key for my awesome Crank Bros Pedals. I wish they were all designed using allen keys! | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Sequoia and Sirrus. Mostly stock. Both now have CrankBros Pedals - Egg Beater S and Candy SL. | | Bottom Line: | If I were to buy a pedal wrench again I would be looking at Park Tool's version. Nothing but good reviews there.
This wrench left me w/ a damaged pedal. It was also damaged in the removal process. Performance took it back and even reimbursed shipping, but they shouldn't sell this stuff to begin with.

$12.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | If you throw it at an attacking dog, you can really piss it off. | | Weaknesses: | Offset angle is a braindead design. Impossible to develop any levereage against the flat handle bacuase it isn't lined up with plane of rotation. | | Similar Products Used: | I used the Park when I worked at a shop. Now I will buy one of my own. | | Bike Setup: | Vitus 979 road/Campy Chorus,Athena | | Bottom Line: | This thing is useless. You'll want to return it the first time it slips off the wrench flats (which will probably happen the very first time you use it), but you won't be able to, because the metal will have deformed. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: August 28, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Performance Bike | | Strengths: | It works. | | Weaknesses: | The angled head makes it difficult to remove both pedals. On one side you have tpo plac ethe wrench under the pedal, if you try to wrench from the top the angled handle puts your hand right on the chain stay. The angle seems like a good idea, but it is not. | | Bottom Line: | Get another wrench.
