What are these called in the non bicycle world and where can I get them?

What I'm saying is I don't want Park Tool's version if I can get Matco or Snap On. I can walk into any bicycle shop and buy these, but I'd like a little better.

I've been looking for something similar for ages now as cheaper alternatives to the Hazet (OM617 and others) valve wrenches. If I come up trumps I'll let you know.

Generically, they're called spanner wrenches. I am a factory (Chicago) trained Schwinn mechanic. I only ever used Schwinn brand spanners (cone wrenches), but they were made years and years ago. Unavailable now. Colleagues in very busy shops used Park spanners and never had quality issues, and their young mechanics would use spanners for removing axle nuts (totally wrong application). We Schwinn guys guard our Schwinn tools carefully. When I see them on e-bay, I often buy them to keep them out of the hands of the non-factory-trained.

I've never seen anything like cone wrenches in an auto mechanics tool line. That said, I don't browse the Snap-On catalog for entertainment value either.

Why don't you just get some sealed bearing hubs ?

Then I can't tinker with them.

OH! That's the point?!?

Park is good quality AFAIK.

Yes they are very good. Plus these never see torque anyway. Guess I just wanted to be a little different.

Park are average quality bicycle tools, but are a very good value for the money. Campagnolo is much better, and very much more expensive.

Any decent bicycle store will order you a set.

Tool snob, eh? I've seen your type before . . .

No but hey, I semi frequently want exactly such a set of wrenches. I might just buy a set of the Parks.
