Overview
What Makes the PW-5 the Right Home Mechanic Pedal Wrench?
The Park Tool PW-5 is a 15.0mm pedal wrench built for home mechanics who want a quality tool for pedal installation and removal without the full investment of a professional shop wrench. Its thin wrench head fits into the tight clearance between the pedal axle flats and the crank arm, and the handle length gives you the leverage to break loose pedals that have been on the bike through multiple seasons. Built from hardened steel, the PW-5 handles the torque of pedal service cleanly without rounding at the head.
Home mechanics who swap pedals for different rides or do regular maintenance will use this tool more than they expect. The PW-5 is built to last and sized correctly for the job, making it a smarter choice than reaching for an adjustable wrench that doesn't fit properly in the clearance gap.

FAQ
Good questions
Get to know Park Tool

There's more to Park Tool than this one product. Our Park Tool page has the full Park Tool lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Park Tool page →How is the PW-5 different from the PW-4?
The PW-5 is designed for home mechanic use with a shorter handle. The PW-4 is a professional shop wrench with a longer handle for higher torque and higher-volume service work.
Is the PW-5 suitable for removing corroded pedals?
Yes. The PW-5 provides adequate leverage for removing most corroded or overtightened pedals, though heavily corroded pedals may benefit from a penetrating lubricant applied first.
Which direction do pedals loosen?
The left (non-drive side) pedal has a reverse thread and loosens clockwise. The right (drive side) pedal loosens counter-clockwise. Always check which side before applying force.
