An essential tool for any serious home mechanic or professional workshop, the HCW-15 is engineered to provide the accuracy and durability needed for servicing and adjusting threaded headsets. This versatile, dual-ended wrench is specifically designed to fit the thin locknuts on bicycle headsets, ensuring you can perform adjustments without slipping or damaging your components. Whether you are eliminating bearing play, overhauling a vintage bicycle, or performing routine maintenance, the HCW-15 is the reliable solution for a perfectly tuned front end.Our popular and versatile Head Wrenches feature our proven Y head design, which provides superior leverage and a comfortable, secure grip during use. The real difference lies in our uncompromising manufacturing process. All headset wrench openings, including the 32mm and 36mm on the HCW-15, are laser cut to ensure a tight, accurate fit. This precise sizing is achieved by high-voltage computer-controlled laser technology *after* the tool has been heat-treated. Waiting until the wrench is heat treated eliminates the shrinkage and expansion of the steel that can occur during the hardening process. It takes longer, and costs more, but it's worth the extra effort to create a tool that fits perfectly every single time, protecting your headset and providing a lifetime of reliable service.The dual-sided functionality of the HCW-15 makes it an incredibly efficient and space-saving addition to your toolbox. With both 32mm and 36mm openings, it covers the two most common sizes found on traditional 1 and 1-1/8 threaded headsets. This eliminates the need for multiple single-size wrenches, streamlining your workflow and ensuring you always have the right tool on hand. The long handle provides ample leverage to break loose stubborn locknuts, while the thin profile allows it to fit into tight spaces with ease. Built from heavy-duty, heat-treated steel, this shop-quality wrench is designed to withstand the rigors of daily professional use yet remains accessible for the dedicated home enthusiast who demands the best for their bike.Key Benefits:* Unmatched Precision: Laser-cut openings provide an exact fit on headset locknuts, preventing rounding and damage to your components.* Enhanced Durability: Made from industrial-strength, heat-treated steel for maximum strength and longevity, ensuring it won´t bend or flex under load.* Versatile and Efficient: The dual-ended design with 32mm and 36mm sizes services the most common threaded headsets, saving you time and toolbox space.* Superior Leverage: The long handle and proven ´Y´ head design allow you to apply ample torque comfortably and safely to loosen or tighten locknuts.* Professional Quality: Engineered and built to the high standards of Park Tool, this is a trusted, shop-grade tool for any mechanic.Features:* Dual-ended
