Excellent pedal wrench. Built very well, the size provides plenty of leverage for hard to unfreeze pedals and the rubberized handle grip is very comfortable. Only complaint would be I think it is a good deal overpriced for simply being a pedal wrench. Don't see why this wrench would ever cost more than $25-$30 tops.
I have no idea why someone would give this product a poor review because it does not fit allen/hex key type pedals like Shimano, Time, Look, etc... It's obvious from looking at it that there is no hex key male type fitting anywhere on the wrench so why would you think it is meant for any pedal that is tightened with an allen/hex key??????? In addition, the product description says it is, "thin enough to access all wrench flats." A wrench flat is NOT an Allen/hex key opening. LOL :-)

Dunno if it's just me getting old/slack, but I increasingly find that e-bike-rated tires/beads not only deliver more PITA, but make me actually /break/ tire levers (which I managed to avoid for ~40 years). The KSTBJ I bought ~2020 solved that problem for tires on my {26", ETRTO=559} and {28", ETRTO=622} bikes (which all have tire widths ~{1.75", 47 mm} ... but unfortunately /totally/ failed on the {20x2.4 in, ETRTO=406-62} tires that were OTM on my cargo e-bike. As in. the KSTBJ just does not fit over tires that wide.
So if you're considering using a KSTBJ on tire widths greater than or equal to {2 in, 50 mm}, I suggest contacting Kool-Stop first. (FWIW, in 2024 I emailed asking if they'd consider making/offering a larger-sized TBJ precisely to solve this problem, and they said ~"try back later," so I need to do that.)
