hi I'm Eric Hawkins the chief mechanic
here at Park Tool and this is Jeff
Swanson our head engineer we are here to
introduce the 40 newer updated tools for
2018 we're gonna start here this is our
TS for truing stand which we introduced
last year but this year we're
introducing a tilting base that fits the
TS 4 and we also have a version that
fits the TS 2.2 and TS 2 lots of great
compartments a place for spoke wrenches
and it tilts fore and aft moving over
here this is the tool caddy and we had a
tool caddy years ago but this is the new
fresh updated version tell us about a
Jeff yeah this one's a little bit more
specific than our last one where the
last one had a series of round holes
this one has specific places for our AWS
three-way wrenches screwdrivers
miscellaneous tools small parts as well
as a connecting system for our HX HS
which hold our p handle wrenches so tell
us about those so these we had a p
handle holder for our hex wrenches now
we have one for our Torx wrenches as
well these will be available
individually and they will come in the
set and these will fit much better for
the torques wrenches and they will also
accept our AWS three right there's three
different holes there that you can put
the three aways in
alongside the PM exactly keep everything
in one spot moving up to the front this
is our SBS 3 which is a socket and bit
set and that is a big comprehensive set
that includes hexes Torx bits and
sockets both in a short and long version
in some of those also including the SBS
3 our two other kids that you can get
separately the SKT six which is a flat
socket set mostly for fork caps and then
the SBS 1.2 which is a socket and bit
set that's smaller so you and maybe have
that in a home workshop or on a bench
but not as comprehensive is this one
going to move back here to the CRS 15
ext tell us about that so this is an
extension for your CRS 15 really
designed to accommodate for the long
stair tubes up to 425 millimeters long
very long so these two parts are
available as the 15 ext but they'll also
be included in the CRS 15.2 kit right
moving ahead tell us about these
screwdrivers people have been asking us
about these for a long time tell us
about the 2news well we put a lot of
work into the screwdrivers actually
these are great fitting screwdrivers
both tips the flat and the cross point
are machined precision machined and the
cross point is actually a JIS compliant
screwdriver so it gives you a great
engagement on derailleur screws and all
of the higher end fasteners that we have
now a CNC machine aluminum handles with
knurling to give you a great feel and
give you a good purchase and also a
knurled area on the actual shaft of the
blade to give it a good spin so a high
end precision machined screwdriver
exactly these are all bottom bracket
tools the three in front are updates of
what we make now exactly what's
different about those the profile is
machined just slightly differently to
provide better engagement these will
engage on lower profile bottom bracket
shells much better right these are three
brand new tools brand new so I'll start
off with the single sided one up front
that's the B BT 27 and that's fitting
the FS a mega Evo as well as the wheels
manufacturing PF 30 standard the middle
one the black anodized version is a
two-sided tool so that's actually
fitting the Praxis m 30 and M 35
standards that's the B BT 35 and the one
in the back here is the b bt 47 and
that's going to fit the enduro t 47 and
PF 30 standard on one side on the second
side it's going to fit the Chris King
right and these are all three a strive
for a torque wrench compatible yep and
all precision CNC machined aluminum
moving back here these are the PMP 3.2
the biggest difference in these is you
can now get them in park to a blue or
black and they come with a new mounting
system that goes on the water bottle
cage mounts hm r8 which is an 8 ounce
version of our bigger hammer the HM r4
so just a little bit easier to handle
when you're in those tight spots tell us
about this bottom bracket tool the B BT
30.4 that is actually an extension with
bottom bracket shells getting larger and
larger by standards we needed to make it
a little bit larger to push that bearing
out right so moving over here this is
the fr 5.2 G and fr 5.2 GT and basically
we just made those a little bit longer
to fit a wider variety of cassette
lockring z' because parts change so we
have to change in front of that we have
the MWR set and that is the same
configuration as our regular mw1
set except these have ratcheting box end
wrenches so same great quality it's just
that one end is now ratcheting moving
back here
these are taps and guides tell us what
those fit their new taps and guides for
the t47 standards so we have our
threading taps which will chase threads
to take out any additional paint or
excess overspray on the paint job and if
there's some damage to the threads it
would also clean that up for chasing
threads not for creating new thread
correct correct and guides to help you
face the that same bottom bracket shell
right so these fit our tapping set and
these fit our facing exactly moving over
here this is a TD 1.2 this is our
adjustable torque driver so that goes
between four and six Newton meters and a
half Newton meter increments the only
difference is that you can now adjust it
by hand whereas the first version you
needed a hex wrench to make that
adjustment moving back here these are
chain wimps and we've created a new
ergonomic handle it's a slightly
different material
the SR 12 is now 12 speed compatible
it'll go from 5 to 12 speed so we just
have one Jean whip made for derailleur
for use it and cassettes this is the SR
18.2 and that's for eighth inch chain
the hcw 16.2 is also 12 speed compatible
5 to 12 new torque wrenches tell us
about the new torque wrenches Jeff so
the new torque wrench is the TW 6.2 and
the TW 5.2 same ranges the 10 to 60
Newton meters on the 6.25 3 to 15 on the
5.2 but a little bit easier to adjust
there it's a pullout handle and much
more positive engagement when it snaps
back in so you know that exactly where
you're at and also on the 5.2 is no
longer a quarter inch drive it's a 3/8
inch drive right so handy that all the
bits fit either wrench with owner and
exactly no adapters moving here another
bottle opener and this is made in the
design of our multi tools but basically
it's a bottle opener but also a
corkscrew opener forged aluminum side
plates comes with a knife
and speaking of beverages this is our t
ry - one try one beer tray / parts tray
it's a great table top parts holder for
wet parts or just to keep all your parts
together so you don't have to use it for
beer but you certainly can now there are
three new products that we couldn't fit
on the table up here the first one is a
ths one which is a trailhead station
which is basically a public workstation
that can be mounted on any post or flat
surface you can use those at a trailhead
hence the name you can use them on the
side of a building in an apartment
building on a college campus basically
it's a way to hang your bike temporarily
and it comes with eight weather
resistant tools because it's made to be
outside we also have a post option and
that's the THP - one the PRS 22.2 is an
updated version
de pierres 22 which we introduced last
year Jeff tell us the difference the big
difference is the smoother operation
that we're going to have this year so
we've added a height adjusting collar so
it's actually gonna have a really
positive engagement on the height you're
staying at one height and we improve the
the actual rotation and we've added two
receivers on that collar for a work tray
or a paper towel holder or whatever
accessory we can you can fit on there
right and the other thing is we made a
PRS 22 EXT was which is an extension for
the PRS 22 or 22.2 tell us what that
extension does that extension is going
to cover really long wheelbase bikes so
if it's a really extreme head angle or
just a large bike right so for 95% of
the bikes it's fine it's this is for
that really long way this is for the
extreme end right so there you have it
forty newer updated tools and all of
these tools can be found at your
favorite retailer and you can find more
