Default cone wrench: why so massive?

During my usual scan of the pegboard displays at LBS, I paused to look at
blister packed cone wrenches (all were Pedro, I think). While the 13mm had more
or less reasonable dimensions and price - roughly 7" handle; about $7 - the
15mm was comparatively huge and 2x-3x the price. Sure, more steel increases
cost, but isn't 12" of leverage on a cone wrench massive overkill? I certainly
would never buy such a beast, much less carry it on the bike.


That wasn't a cone wrench. It was a pedal wrench.
