    Hi Guys, anyone got a good quality pedal spanner they are willing to sell? Sick of using crappy old household spanners.

    Park Tools 15mm should be available in any LBS for €15-20

    and a better quality 15mm spanner will be available for less than half that in any DIY store

    But a pedal spanner is thinner and less likely to damage your crank :-)

    Yes but the problem with Regular DIY spanners is they are too thick to looses the pedal when full tightened, you really need one no more than 4mm in width but a lot of length, am i correct?

    Pretty much dead on there. I struggled with a DIY spanner.. when I switched to a pedal spanner it was much easier. A good investment if you ask me.
