I can't speak to how may other people have these pedals, though I suspect I'm not the only one in the world. As for "no one at all"... we know there's at least one!

Possibly you have never seen a Park Tools cone wrench. They are hardened and more than up to this task. I grant that it shouldn't be necessary to use them, but there it is.

"Never" is a pretty strong word; there's almost always an "off-label" use for things. How 'bout we agree that no one should use a cone wrench for removing a pedal unless it's the only tool that will work?
