CruzTOOLS Combo Axle Wrench - Tool Time

Any amount of weight and bulk that can be reduced in an off-road fanny pack or toolbag is a big deal, no matter how small the savings. So, if you're currently carrying sizable, bulky wrenches to fit the axle nuts on your dirtbike, CruzTOOLS (www.cruztools.com) may be able to put your toolkit on a diet with its Combo Axle Wrenches. Made of forged, heat-treated steel, these beautifully finished, polished chrome wrenches weigh just a couple of ounces each, are only about 5/16-thick and come in two different models sized to fit the front and rear axle nuts on most late-model Japanese off-road bikes. Part #AW142227 has a a 27mm hex on one end and 22mm on the other; and part #142232 has a 32mm hex on one end and 22mm on the other. Both also have a 14mm hex adjacent to the 22mm end for use on the OEM sparkplug sockets that come with many Japanese bikes.

These wenches are tough enough to easily withstand my 215-pound weight when I stand on one end to loosen a tight axle nut, yet they’re light and flat enough not to be a boat anchor in my fanny pack. Both retail for just $14.95 apiece.
