3wrencho

Expensive and almost wasted purchase. Nice design and quality but unfortunately didn’t fit my front wheel nut because of shape of front fork. Came in useful for eating my TunaMayo Pasta though. Would like to see an equivalent tool with a 15mm spanner head rather than hex head

Great intersection of design and functionality. Affordable too! Always have it on me with my singlespeed/fixed bikes.

This is a beautfully made tool that is perfect for those who don't have a quick release wheel, and want an axle nut tool and tyre lever combination that fits in a pocket. It's ergonomically designed to allow the user to push down with the palm of the hand on a flat surface (or with a foot!). The nylon coating reduces risk of damage to the forks when used as an axle nut wrench or the rims when used as a tyre lever. However, the 3wrencho is not ideal for track bikes because the wrench can't be turned 360 degrees around the axle nut on the rear wheel drop-outs. I keep the 3wrencho when I just need to take off the front wheel for transport or storage, but I have to use a conventional axle nut wrench for changing gears.

I just earned my wings as a Brompton owner, being forced to address the dreaded rear wheel flat. I was, also, my first application of the 3wrencho in the field. It performed beautifully. the six-sided wrench gave a really solid purchase on the wheel nuts and the tire lever took care of removing those tough little 16" Schwalbe Marathons without an inordinate amount of "umpf" on my part. The angle of the wrench handle goes a long way to preventing knucke-busting and the way it is designed so that, if you have to put some muscle into it, you're pushing on the flat side of the handle rather than the narrow side is a huge ergonomic triumph.

The video answers the question implicit in the above, "Who's the third man"? The third of the 3wrencho is the spreading of peanut butter, or whatever. Harry Lime would be proud.

I commute on a single-speed and love this tool. I carry a 3wrencho, a minimal hex key tool, and a patch kit. Combining a tire lever into the wrench that removes the axle nut is simple but brilliant. That garbage wrench from Harbor Freight is going to snap in half at the worst possible time. That mini crescent wrench from the corner store is going to give you zero leverage. Lugging around that high-end combo wrench from Pop's toolbox is overkill. Get the 3wrencho.

I ride a pedicab in Downtown Portland so this tool has become invaluable to me. We lease the cabs from a company so I never know what condition the cab is going to be in when I get it. Recently I had a cab which got a flat on the front tire. Normally this is no big deal but the person who changed the tube previously cross threaded one of the nuts and torqued both of them way too tight. I found myself at 12:45 AM on a street corner STANDING on this wrench. I literally had to jump and land down on this tool to get the nut to let loose. This thing performed exceptionally well. It showed no sign of stress or damage from my abuse. It also works really well to get that tire off the rim fast. It is compact and easy to store. Hopefully your journeys will be without incident so you won't need this tool very much.
