Parktool

Practical tool

The American brand has its origins in the 1960s in a bike shop in Minneapolis / St. Paul. Howard Hawkins and Art Engstrom were unable to find suitable tools to repair the increasingly complex technology on the bicycles and built many things themselves. This included the first assembly stand, which enabled them to carry out longer repairs to the bikes without straining their backs. The assembly stand went into series production in 1963 and the success story began.

They quickly caused a sensation and aroused great interest: The birth of Park Tool. Since then, the brand has made a name for itself for outstandingly functional and well-designed bicycle tools that no workshop, whether professional or amateur, should be without.

From high-quality and functional tools to reliable centring and assembly stands to well thought-out bike care products and the legendary "Blue Book of Bicycle Technology", Park Tool has everything in its range to make screwing and maintaining your favourite two-wheeler easier.

What characterises Park Tool tools?

Whether multi-tool or tool case, Park Tool torque spanner, chain riveter or the practical AWS Y Allen key, Park Tool uses robust and lightweight materials, pays attention to ease of use, high-quality feel and look (design) and perfect workmanship. In addition, the range of tools is constantly being developed and refined. New Park Tool tools are added every year to meet the new standards and developments in the bicycle industry.

Park Tool assembly stands - robust, functional, perfectly crafted

As one of the most important tool brands in the world, Park Tool attaches particular importance to making your repair work as efficient and convenient as possible. Park Tool therefore offers robust, high-quality stands in every price category, which impress with their easy handling, perfect workmanship and well thought-out designs.

Park Tool centring stands - precise centring made easy

Do you want to centre your wheels yourself or set them up completely independently? With a Park Tool truing stand, you have a proven precision device at hand to make this dream a reality. The entry-level centring stand at an attractive price is the Park Tool TS-8: It centres wheels from 16 to 29 inches precisely and therefore primarily covers the needs of every hobby mechanic. The TS-2-2 is more versatile and more accurate than its "little brother" thanks to its extended wheel mount with stiffened U-profiles. If you are dealing with plus-size wheels, tubeless setups and thru axles in particular, the Park Tool TS-4.2 professional centre stand is your first choice. The solidly built Park Tool TS-4.2 stands for precise operation and adjustability and can accommodate all common hub, wheel and tyre combinations.
However, uniform spoke tension is also crucial for a stable and durable wheel. In addition to various spoke spanners, Park Tool therefore offers the TM-1 spoke tensiometer, with which you can measure the relative tension of all spokes precisely and reliably.
