Park Tool PT-09 Shop Cone Wrench

I bought the 15mm to work on a few bikes. I didn’t expect this to be a heavy duty task tool but more or less the assistance wrench when turning 2 nuts. For instance… I held the nut on my bike axle with a real wrench and then used this Park tool to hold the inner nut I could not reach with a 15mm from automotive tool box. This thin Park wrench was perfect. What I would not attempt to do with it is turn a heavy duty stuck nut such as a pedal. This 15mm also fit the pedal nut. However, it was really stuck. I would have damaged the wrench if I had attempted it. Instead I used a real 15mm wrench. It took my 200lb son on the opposite side holding the wrong pedal while I applied a real 15mm wrench to the side to be removed. The short handle wasn’t enough so I had to get a large pipe wrench and use it as an extension for the real 15mm wrench. After some cursing and a near busted knuckle, it popped loose. This process would have destroyed the park wrench. I would have been writing a negative review about how weak this wrench is. Yes, it’s thin, that’s the purpose. Know this going in and use the correct tool for the job.

As advertised. It's Park after all. A little pricey compared to others, but Park has never let me down.

I gave this four stars instead of five because the description said that it would fit a 9/16 pedal. I got the 14 mm that specifically said it would fit 9/16 and it absolutely did not. So if you have a 9/16 pedal I suggest you get the 15 mm. Other than that it’s a park tool so of course it’s an excellent product

Wrench got couple of bite marks on teeth, while I used it. It’s still in working shape though.Be careful, it’s a thin design by purpose and you might break it, if not used gently.

Park wrenches are always good (well, except for a couple chromed models). These are made of pretty decent steel and have enough thickness (without being too thick to fit where they need to be) that they don't ding up easily. I bought this one as a one-off to grind into a tool to separate non-bicycle press-fit parts. I have a full set for bike use and they've held up great, but this was the first time I ever cut into one. Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the steel as I was grinding, filing, and honing. Not cheese.

This is the quality that you would expect from Park tools.It’s pretty much a no-brainer if you need this tool, buy it and enjoy it for a lifetime.

I bought this to loosen over tightenef cones on a new bike. Way over tightened from the factory. This tool did what it was meant for and is just as good as the day I bought it and will last for many years to come. I enjoy good tools quality tools and this meets that.

I give this wrench 5 stars for working GREAT as a cone wrench. That's what it's made for. I got the 15 mm Park Tool Wrench and it adjusted the cone at my bearing hub on my front bike wheel GREAT.I also needed a skinny 15mm wrench to get a bike pedal off and this wrench was bending and just slipped off. It's not made to remove bike pedals or anything else that may be on something tight. It's made to adjust, remove of tighten cone nuts on wheel bearings which really doesn't take a lot of torque to tighten.

This is one of the cheaper Park Tools you can obtain and to be fair for the price and quality it's worth buying over other brands. I'm happy with this wrench.So I got fed up using the rubbish little pressed metal tools you get with new kids bikes, the last straw was while using two of them and the nuts suddenly released and I nearly sheared my finger off with them.Enough was enough, time to get a proper tool for the job. I ran a quick search for 15mm cone wrenches and was suppressed to see one from Park Tools pop up in the same price band as the cheaper branded stuff. Park Tools is a quality brand of bike tools but is normally so expensive for the diy enthusiast.Order placed, tool arrived the next day, off to a good start already.Using the tool was like a revelation, why oh why have I been so tight and no bought the tool for the job before! Anyway, the tool it's the axle bearing retention nut perfectly, the handle is long enough to be able to apply a good amount of torque for the majority of cases. The tool itself has a small amount of flex when you are really putting 18st of manliness into that handle but it does not give and the jaws have not marked so the material has the right amount of strength, hardness and toughness for the job. I wouldn't be putting any pipes over the end of them to increase the torque though, if it's come to that then you have bigger problems and might want to consider other options as this tool would just bend/break.You need to be careful using the tool, it is thin so is prone to twisting and slipping off the nut but this is th Sam for any thin cone wrench and I would not mark it down for this but people need to be aware of the phenomenon if they have never used them before.So overall I'm really happy with this tool, it's cheap and good quality. For me just the 15mm is good enough, I wouldn't have me use for the full set.

A bit expensive compared to other brands, guess your pay extra for the products brand name

It works nicely. Could you put lots of torque through it? Probably not but that isn’t its job. To snug up a locknut it works well. Note that you’ll probably need a 15mm and a 17mm one as the inside nut is usually 15mm and the outside 17mm

If you need a quality tool to be used for years ahead then you cannot beat Park Tools for your bicycle work.

I'd only previously bought cheaper cone spanners but I had a very tight cone to undo which was bending my other C-spanners and putting notches in them. I got this thing and had my bearings apart in minutes. It's clearly well made and is a good size so you can get decent leverage. Definitely recommend to others. I'd be tempted to pay more and buy other Park Tools now.
