For those I use a 10mm bit in a cheater bar; works every time.
Yes, I agree. But, recently I started using the Park HT-6/8/10 tools for pedals that don't have 15mm wrench flats and these tools are fantastic for this usage. If you have never tried them I highly recommend giving them a shot. You won't need a cheater bar again.
Once you break the pedal loose you flip the tool around and use the ball end to make a very quick removal of the pedal. Even if the pedal threads are a bit tight the handle gives plenty of torque to overcome it.
They look like a tool that may not get used much (wrong), but I love them. That being said, all pedals should have wrench flats ;-))))
