Be envious.

Yeahbut, it's not a Hozan is it? From Japan.

Must admit I have never heard of them in my ignorance Mickle, but am sure it's very nice. So is my cyclo though - one of the jaws is angled which can be handy. Am confident I could get anything off with it.
We do seem to share views on flats though

I normally use the hex socket. I didn't realise I was doing a Wrong Thing. I intend to continue, because I'm a rebel.

not wrong.
Just might be more difficult in some circumstances.

I have a garage full of Snap-on and Facom tools I bought in the early 80s when I was in the trade.It is just a name
Hate to think what it would cost to replace them now

Speaking of names, I have an Aldi/Lidl one. I'm not sure I've ever used it though, not as a pedal spanner anyway. I think the one that sees active service is a Park Tools one.

That Hozan one though, well, it looks a thing of beauty. In as much as a pedal spanner can be a thing of beauty that is.

Speaking of things of beauty, I've got a something-or-other spanner for my fixed's wheel nuts and that's worthy of an insta post... I know, that would be so much more impressive if I could actually remember the damned make.

Did you know it has a high torque end and a skinny end?

Ahh, a techno spanner. Not seen one of those before - !

 

[Xipe Totec]

I always use the Allens. I do have a pedal spanner I don't think I've ever used, although a mate did when he borrowed a bike & swapped his Speedplays onto it - which is how come I know I've got one.

The odd thing is, I don't remember buying it - I'm now wondering if they just sort of coalesce out of random bits of stuff that fall to the bottom of your toolbox over the years.

 

[simongt]

Just one for the discussion. Are 'Allen ' keys strictly speaking, Imperial, with 'hex' keys being any type including metric - ?

 

[simongt]

And for the pedantic amongst us, strictly speaking, a spanner is / was the tool that was used to wind up the spring on a wheelock gun to enable the striking action to take place. What we term 'spanner' is, as our American cousins refer to is apparently, actually a wrench.
And aren't we all grateful that Mr. Hoover got in first instead of Electrolux - !

I have two pedal spanners: one from the BT'Win toolkit, chunky and a bit short, and an X-tools one which looks flimsier but does the job perfectly. Never had a bike with hex fit pedals...
