Park Tool  Hex Wrench - AWS-1

This is the most useful tool in your tool box, adjusts almost anything on a modern bicycle.

This tool is super useful to do a once over of my bike before going out for a ride. It's the first thing I grab when my wife says "there's something wrong with my bike..." The tool is way faster and easier for routine maintenance than individual keys or a multi-tool.

This wrench makes certain bike repairs and adjustments much easier than using foldable allen wrenches, especially when adjusting or replacing the saddle where it's hard to reach the allen screws that hold the saddle onto the bike. This Park Tool Hex Wrench has a nice grip that is comfortable in the palm of your hand.

Absolute necessity if you do any of your own work on a bike. Saves a lot of time and effort vs using your standard set of allen wrenches. For some reason, my standard allen keys would start to strip the heads of various hex bolts. Don’t have that issue with the Park Tool wrench at all.

Product meets the quality standards. Will last a lifetime if used properly.

Love this tool. I use it every time I work on my bike.

I already have T-handles and regular allen keys, and always thought 'why would I need this too?' but I was wrong. It does get into places on the bike where a regular t-handle wouldn't fit, and an allen key would have to be used via the short end only which takes a while. The best part? The other two sides of the hex wrench give you better leverage than either a t-handle or an allen key. Plus, relative to Park Tool's prices on other things, it's a steal.

I bought this tool back in 2016, and it's one of the oldest things in my toolbox. Originally bought when I was a bike mechanic, it still pulls duty working on bikes, but also around the house. I've found it's perfect for assembling flat-pack furniture, as one of the three ends will fit anything I've encountered from IKEA or other places. It's not worn down any, the ends are still perfectly serviceable, with no signs of rounding over. Highly recommend this.

My biggest problem with the Park Hex is I have to buy 3 or more because they get used for so many things, cars, motorcycles as well as bicycles.

This is a great tool if you cannot spend the money on a compact wrench. It offers great leverage and it is very sturdy. However I run into problems when trying to adjust saddle angle. Due to the design it is difficult to maneuver underneath the seat.
