Park Tool PW-4 Professional Pedal Wrench Tool

I'm just a home mechanic, but this tool is epic!I was at my wit's end with a set of pedals and was about to bin them (cranks were already toast).I'd used my current pedal spanner, bathed the cranks in WD-40, heated them up with a blowtorch, when I thought I'd push the boat out on this tool.I really thought I'd stripped the thread when I used it, but it had effortlessly undone them. Pedals saved, cost offset!I then re-fitted all my bikes' pedals using anti-seize grease, so I probably won't need it's incredible leverage again.I'd say be careful not to over-tighten as the leverage you can get from this thing is enough to lift Thor's hammer.If you can get passed the price, this spanner will last a lifetime, and can then be bequeathed as part of your estate for another generation to be wowed, it's that awesome.

I needed to change the pedals on a bike I hadn’t used for years. The pedals were stuck and a standard Allen key didn’t give me enough leverage. I also had a Park Tool PW-5 pedal spanner. It was starting to round off the pedals and also didn’t have enough leverage. I bought this and the BBB pedal Allen key wrench. I tried the Allen key wrench first and that worked perfectly. I decided to keep the Park Tool as well though. It’s a lot more robust and has a longer handle than the PW-5 so I’m going to keep it and sell the old one.I therefore can’t review how the spanner works but I can say it’s better than the PW-5 and would definitely do the job no matter how tight your pedals.

Park Tool have a good understanding of what a professional workshop tool should be. I use the word "professional" in the sense of a tool that helps in an environment where time is money and customer service is key, rather than just to reflect higher quality. Both the design and quality of construction of this tool are suitable and sufficient, neither more nor less. The provision of two openings at different angles and the length of the handle make it easy to apply the correct force without undue stress. Reasonable value at under £30.

This pedal spanner is awesome! I had been battling unsuccessfully for over two hours to remove stuck pedals recently with my regular tools, and after reading about the Park Tool PW-4 I decided to take the plunge and splash the cash. Well it arrived today and all I can say is the wrench is unbelievable. I had removed the most stubborn pedal in less than a minute with minimal effort due to its incredible leverage. Highly recommended and I know it will last for years and years as it's so solid and well made. I never thought I could get this excited about a bike tool but it really is the last word in pedal removal. Worth every penny!

As it says on the title, ‘the right tool for the job’. I needed to fit new pedals to our new e-bikes and I this is the tool I’d recommend for the job. Takes less than a minute. If you want the best, don’t settle for less.
