Product Information

Full details

The Wolf Tooth Pack Wrench Cinch and ISIS Spline Wrench Insert is designed for dedicated cyclists and bike mechanics who prioritize weight savings and portability during trailside repairs. This precision-machined tool allows users to maintain ISIS bottom brackets or Race Face Cinch direct mount chainrings without carrying bulky shop tools; however, it requires the separate purchase of the Wolf Tooth Pack Wrench to function effectively.

FAQs

Does this insert come with the wrench handle?

No, the Wolf Tooth Pack Wrench is sold separately. The insert is a modular component designed to be used with the wrench.

Can I use this with a standard shop socket wrench?

The insert is specifically designed for the Wolf Tooth Pack Wrench geometry and may not fit standard 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch drive sockets.

Is this tool suitable for home shop use?

While it is durable enough for home use, it is optimized for portability. For high-volume daily shop use, a full-sized steel handle wrench is often more ergonomic.

Will this work on Shimano bottom brackets?

No, this specific insert is designed exclusively for ISIS splined bottom brackets and Race Face Cinch chainring systems.

How should I clean the insert?

Use a clean shop towel to wipe away grease and dirt after each use. Avoid harsh chemical solvents that could potentially degrade the nickel plating over time.

Troubleshooting

Insert does not fit the bottom bracket or lockring.

Verify that your component is either an ISIS standard bottom bracket or a Race Face Cinch lockring; the insert is not compatible with other standards like Shimano Hollowtech II or SRAM DUB.

The insert feels loose within the Pack Wrench.

Ensure the insert is fully seated into the Pack Wrench housing and clear any debris from the connection points.

Difficulty generating enough leverage.

The Pack Wrench has a specific orientation; ensure your grip is positioned at the end of the wrench handle to maximize the available mechanical advantage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and portable for trailside use
  • High-quality, hardened steel construction
  • Corrosion-resistant nickel plating
  • Precision fit reduces the risk of slipping or damaging fasteners
  • Proudly made in the USA

Cons

  • Requires the Wolf Tooth Pack Wrench (sold separately)
  • Not intended for heavy-duty shop bench use
  • Limited to specific ISIS and Cinch interfaces only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the insert, simply slide it into the Wolf Tooth Pack Wrench until it locks into place. The insert is compatible with standard ISIS Drive bottom brackets and Race Face Cinch direct mount chainring systems. After use, wipe the insert with a clean, dry cloth to remove debris or grit. While the electroless nickel plating is highly durable, it is recommended to store the tool in a dry environment to prevent surface staining over long periods. Regularly inspect the splines for any metal burrs or damage before inserting into your bike's bottom bracket or chainring lockring.
