Description
High-Strength “Y” Head and Premium Finish
The ParkTool SCW-13 Shop Cone Wrench brings industry-standard durability directly to your hub overhaul tasks. For instance, the tool utilizes a highly specialized “Y” head design that reinforces the wrench at key stress points. Consequently, the jaw opening resists flexing, spreading, or slipping off narrow cone flats even under high torque. Additionally, a military-grade industrial phosphate finish covers the steel core. Ultimately, this hard-wearing coat ensures an incredibly precise, slip-free fit while protecting the tool from workshop rust and wear.
Ultra-Thin Profile for Cramped Hub Cones
Accessing the tightly packed locknuts and adjusting cones on bicycle wheels is exceptionally straightforward with this design. To ensure seamless access, the wrench is engineered with an ultra-thin profile that slides into the narrowest clearance spaces. Therefore, you can easily hold the adjusting cone in place while tightening the outer locknut with a standard wrench. Because this 13 mm size is standard on many front and rear hub assemblies, it serves as an indispensable tool for routine bearing service.
ParkTool SCW-13 Shop Cone Wrench: Long Vinyl-Dipped Handle for Comfort
Tackling stubborn or seized hub parts is handled with absolute comfort and mechanical leverage. First, the wrench is designed with a generous handle length that gives you maximum control over your micro-adjustments. This extra leverage means you do not have to strain to make highly precise adjustments to your bearing preload. Meanwhile, the handle features a comfortable, thick vinyl-dipped coating. This textured grip protects your hands from harsh metal edges and ensures a non-slip hold when working with greasy bearings.
