Park Crank Straightener

[Gtpulse]

These must have passed me by or they really don’t come up very often. Am I just being a wuss thinking straightening a bent crank is not something I’d want to do or more importantly use afterwards?!

Perhaps for older steel (cotter pin) cranks? Pretty pointless tool though.

Bit expensive

But you know this is the time where someone’s looking for a tool that they’ve been looking for for ages

Even though it already exists brand new

After a quick search I could only find a couple of examples of someone straightening a crank. Definitely only for steel.

This guy is going to have some teeth and/or digits missing before adulthood I think……

I have this tool at work and have used it 3 times in about 8 years. The last time was last year on a SRAM dub crank and it worked but also bent the tool. Its one of those tools that is nice to have but takes up space...a bit like the crown race puller too which is hench and gets seldom use.

I think it is for those one piece BMX cranks.

but it's made by Park, how can I claim I have a complete set of park tools in my home workshop if I don't have it?
