Zog’s Headset Wrench

I picked up this awesome Zog’s headset wrench at Interbike sometime in the mid-90s and had assumed the company had gone the way many of other small, US-based manufacturing companies. But no, these thin, laser cut tools are still being made in Oregon under the name Thinwrench. They don’t seem to make this particular headset wrench anymore, which was way thinner and more awesome than anything else available at the time (and makes for the perfect companion to theĀ Park Professional Headset Locknut Wrench), but here are the bike tools they still make. The Headset Pedal Cone Take-Along Combo Wrench looks pretty sweet.

Park Professional Headset Locknut Wrench

The Park Professional Headset Locknut Wrench is a work of art. It won’t bite into or round off the top nut of your spendy Chris King or Campy threaded headset. And unlike most of my other Park stuff, they haven’t change this one in 15 years. I guess you can’t mess with perfection.

Used for: 15+ years
Price paid: probably around $30
