FAQs
What size pedal flats does this wrench fit?
The UNIOR Pro Pedal Wrench features two 15 mm openings designed specifically for standard 15mm pedal flats.
Is this wrench suitable for carbon fiber pedals?
While the wrench itself is high quality, care should be taken when applying force to carbon fiber pedals, as they can be more susceptible to damage than metal pedals. Always ensure proper technique and appropriate torque.
How does the offset angle of the openings help?
The offset angles allow for easier access and engagement with the pedal flats, especially when the crank arm is positioned in a way that might obstruct a straight wrench.
What is the purpose of the double-component handle?
The double-component handle is designed for an ergonomic grip, providing comfort and preventing slippage, which enhances control and leverage during use.
Can I use this wrench for anything other than pedals?
The primary intended use is for 15mm pedal flats. The integrated bottle opener can be used for its intended purpose. However, it is not designed as a general-purpose wrench.
What material is the wrench made of?
The wrench is constructed from premium Flex Plus carbon steel, which is drop forged, entirely hardened, and tempered for maximum durability.
How should I clean and maintain the wrench?
Wipe it clean with a dry cloth after use and store it in a dry place. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the chrome-plated finish.
Troubleshooting
Wrench slips on pedal flats
Ensure the pedal flats are clean and dry. Verify you are using the correct 15mm opening and that it is fully seated on the pedal axle.
Difficulty applying enough leverage
Make sure the wrench is positioned correctly on the pedal flats. Use smooth, steady force. Ensure the bike is stable and securely held.
Chrome plating appears damaged
Inspect the tool for significant damage. Minor cosmetic blemishes may not affect function, but deep gouges or peeling chrome warrant replacement for safety and performance.
