So which type did you get, and how did you get on with it? I got the green Ice Toolz (ttp://www.icetoolz.com/icetoolz/index_pro3.php?parent=4&id=315) and completed the series of three wrenches. No ways to mesh the black, green did. Quite cheap, nice feeling. I see there is a stepped entry to that horseshoe nipple key. I don't think mine have that, may make it a little easier to use. Does the regular Park nipple key have this stepped entry? I got a pair of double ended 4-way cone spanners made by Lifu recently. Dirt cheap on clearance. Wouldn't have bothered otherwise. Turned out to be strong. I wrenched off a locknut, with the end opening, which I hadn't noticed was painted in place. So even at regular price I'd go with Lifu / Ice Tools. Didn't realise they were one and the same until now. |

No it doesn't. Looks like the Lifu tool wins again. Anybody had experience of using the Lifu / Ice Toolz and the Park can confirm there is a difference in their use. |
