Park Tool PT-09 Shop Cone Wrench

I have other Park tools I bought for working on bikes but I picked this particular one up to use as a collet wrench for an old Freud router. It does a fine job for that. I could have gotten by with a wrench of 'normal' thickness for this application but at the price of around $10, I might as well buy a wrench that might also work for certain applications on my bikes.Also, this is labeled as being made in the good ol' USA. That's a win.

Treat yourself to Park tools. Life is frustrating and disappointing enough without introducing more through false economy.

Worked perfect for my crazy cart caster wheels, cheaper than taxi garage

I purchased this because a cheep set I bought from Amazon twisted rather than hold. On that same axle nut, this wrench held without an issue and I was finally able to service those bearings.

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.

I have a light stand with wheels (for photography) and I have to really stretch the zipper of the carrying case to get it to close over the wheels, so I wanted to start removing them before packing the light stand for travel. This wrench works fine to remove the wheels and to put them back on, and it fits neatly into a little pouch with the wheels. It's perfect for what I need because this stand is not really meant for travel, so it's only occasionally that I have to remove the wheels. However, if this were for daily use, it is so thin that I really don't think it would last.

1st one that was ordered by another brand,did not fit..this one fits & works on my son's tablesaw.

Perfect for what I needed
