Parktool

Practical tool

The American brand has its origins in the 1960s in a bike store in Minneapolis / St. Paul. Howard Hawkins and Art Engstrom found no suitable tools to repair the ever more complex technology on the bikes and built many things themselves. This included the first assembly stand, which enabled them to carry out longer repairs on the bicycles in a way that was easy on their backs. In 1963, the assembly stand went into series production and the success story began.

They quickly attracted attention and great interest: The birth of Park Tool. Since then, the brand has made a name 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 centering and assembly stands to thoughtful bike care products and the legendary "Blue Book of Bicycle Technology", Park Tool has everything in its range that makes it easier for you to screw and maintain your favorite on two wheels.
