The BBQ Pedal Wrench is a hand tool built specifically for the professionals – for whom grabbing a 8mm hex wrench to then find you need a 6mm adds up to lost profit.
Even pedals from the same brand will commonly use either a 6 or 8mm hex or a 15mm wrench flat – and yes, Shimano, Look, Time, Speedplay and Crank Brothers are all guilty of this. Quite simply, this tool combines the three most common pedal tools into a single, elegant wrench.
It’s a tool that best belongs in the hands of demo fleet drivers, bike fitters and bike shop sales guys getting test bikes ready. That said, there’s a growing number of mechanics and home-based aficionados who appreciate quality tools – like fine pieces of art.
