Pedros VS Park tools?
Which one is generally better? I know Pedros is more environmentally friendly.
|
Pedro's does some better, others Park does better. I really like Pedro's headset press, it looks like a sculpture (I settled for Nashbar's press which cost less than half as much and I can't imagine works any worse, but it isn't as pretty.) I don't think there is a nicer 32mm threaded headset wrench than that made by Park.

Which color do you like ? Yellow or Blue?
They both make good tools, although in my opinion Park has better customer service. I own a PRS-20 bike stand and the CM-5 chain scrubber, broke the BB holder on the PRS-20 after I dropped it and dropped one of the brush axles from the CM-5 in the sink rinsing it out. Park sent both BB holder and axle free of charge. As for the Pedro's tools, I had one of their chain tools, but bent the pin over time. Not their fault, but mine. I've emailed them about a pin, but never heard back. Although that chain tool sure did last a long time. Maybe my email got lost somewhere? Anyway, they both make good tools so I think it's a matter of color. |
My LBS said if my Pedros tool ever breaks, just take it back with receipt and they will replace it no questions asked.
|
my bike shop mostly has park tools and they seem to work out really well.
|
I've had excellent service with all of the many Park tools I've owned.
I have two Pedros tools, a folding hex wrench set that has been satisfactory and a pedal wrench that had a poorly cut and slightly too tight 15 mm open end that required some Dremel work to correct. |

Well, they have under the seat bags made partly of recycled bike inner tubes, and their lube is natural, and their cleaners are biodegradable.
|
Pedro's isn't environmentally friendly, at least, they are not any more environmentally friendly than Park is.

I like Pedro's spoke wrenches better. I think they are a better design than Park.

Do you tighten the spokes outside or inside the rim with spoke wrenches? Why would you need to tighten spokes? I have 2 spoke wrenches and I don't know what they are for.

I tend to buy Park tools because I am more familiar with them, like the looks better, and generally cheaper.
