Hello Jccaclimber,
When designing tools...one must think about materials and tolerances. And I am sure Park thinks about these things....we certainly do.
Not sure how you can compare Filzer tools to Ace hardware equivalent tools......
Have you even tried out our new Filzer tools?
If you did - we would like to hear feedback from you - and which tools you tested out.
You can check out our pedal wrench at

Cheers.
