- New tool alert! Join Chief Mechanic Eric Hawkins and engineer Jake as they cover the latest gear from Park Tool and keep you up-to-date with everything new (and old) in blue. In this episode, we introduce all-new T-handle hex & Torx®-compatible wrench sets, as well as a simplified version of our Wheel Holder. We also walk through incremental upgrades and improvements we've recently made to our Chain Scrubber, Truing Stand Extensions, and PRS-33 Power Lift Shop Stand.
Plus, stay tuned for an interview with Art Engstrom, cofounder of Park Tool, as he and Eric talk about the first repair stands we ever made (it involves a truck axle, a printing press roller, and a kitchen table) and the company's bike shop origins.

That was great history! So glad you guys did that interview with Art.
We would love to hear more stories from the dawn of Park Tool history!
Loving the new t-handles. I'll defo be replacing my Beta t-handles with these next year :-)
Let's be honest here... even at $50, that wheel holder would be pricey. And its $109? Come on guys...
When will these be available in the UK?
Unfortunately Madison likely not have these in stock and ready to rock for 1-2 months. :(
That's not too bad. I like the look of the T handles.
@@parktool These are definitely joining my Park Tool collection as soon as they are available in the UK or EU.
I love the New in Blue shows. Especially the history behind the company and origins. Cheers guys.
The history segment is great. Next installment, consider sitting quietly and allowing the founder to share the past at his own pace. You don’t need to tell us what he did when he’s right there to tell us himself. Shhhhh, stop interrupting the story.
Great to hear Art’s story, you should do more with him. Those T-handles look great, wish I hadn’t bought a Beta set now :(
Park tool, to the consumers , is a good company because they create useful and efficient tools. And they keep updating them up to current technology standards. It is not a easy task for engineers and sourcing and costing department to work together and come up with the final product(s). Increasing cost, compatibility, change of materials, consumer satisfaction, ... there are tons of things to work on and to overcome. Sorry for my bad English but I am praising park tools.

I'm a tool guy. I buy tools to add to my collection. Park is my go to for bike tools and I have quite a few now. Some I rarely use while others are more frequent. Those who think your tools are too expensive need to try some of your less expensive but quality tools and notice the difference. For me I enjoy working on bikes and to have not only the right tool but a good quality tool just adds too the fun. I saved up for about a year and bought my PCS-10. What a joy to get the bike up in the air at chest level and to even have the option to spin and lock it in position to work on. Just try some of their less expensive but very quality tools for your self and enjoy.
3:57 The THH-1 T-handle Allen keys a well good idea i like the bit that can get rounded allen key bolts out that would be a life saver on bmx stem bolts when they rust and round off 👍
G'day To Everyone At Park Tool,
Thank you for such for an informative, educational and inspiring TH-cam channel, that I have learnt so much from, about bike repair and maintenance to enjoy owning a bike, being such a pleasure.
May Santa Clause deliver all your presents to all you big kids and that all wishes come true, and I wish you all, your families and love ones, a bloody Merry Christmas and brilliant, proposes and happy New Year.
Thanks cobbers for what you do best and....
hooroo
Geez let the engineer and Art talk!
I just found the channel and subscribed. Park Tool videos have helped me from basic tuning to building bike from just parts. I love cycling and the Blue tool company :). Most all cycling related tools that I own including stand are Park Tools. I just purchase new 3.3 chain tool and chain pliers mlp1 as im upgrading my self build to SRAM eTap AXS.
Love the old timer, love Minnesotans in general, never met one I didn't like.
This how you start a successful business, passion and some basic engineering skills to solve basic problems. Then it grows to be a complicated product after many years of développement.
A simple working business model 👌🏻
Great video on the history of Parktool 👍👍
Love these types of segments, interviewing the old guys who had the vision and fortitude to get it done. Thanks for sharing.

Good afternoon! I been studying on Park Tool here in São Paulo, Brazil and I love watching all your videos while I'm learning so much. Thank you all for those tools and all this precious knowledge.
I love the history lesson ..... I also love the drawn diagram of the stand it like art work to me
Art so great to see you on here. I still remember how much I enjoyed working for you at your Mendota Heights store.
Love hearing the history of Park Tool. Keep it coming!
What about doing a folding chair
you guys should make a vise
Loved hearing Art's story! Those sliding t-handles are on my wish list for sure.
That history portion was AWESOME! Thank you
First shop I worked in had the red handle grip on the stand. I always liked Park tools because they are solid, durable, well designed, well made, and don’t go overboard with unnecessary cosmetics.
On the PRS-33.2 why not add a foot pedal for the up-down controls? When you have tools in hand and your trying to do something it would make sense to have a remote foot pedal so you don't have to set things down.
Consumer safety laws around the world limit some design parameters.
Love learning the history. I met Eric Hawkins long ago at a bike trade show. I presented him with one of my invented products that I had made for one of his tools. He was very nice and explained a few things. Basically that it was a cool idea but it wouldn't have enough sales due to the tool itself. But it was cool either way. I do have a question for anyone in the know-
How does one Trademark a color? They apparently did it.
What I want to know is: When will Park Tool fix their PTH-1? I use it with those blue shop paper towels, and the roll won't even...roll. I always have to sort ot unwrap the next paper towel from the stationary roll when I need one. I think it is a crying disgrace that the PTH-1 won't work with BLUE paper towels. Come on, Park Tool.
Edit: Seriously, the PTH-1 is junk. I'd throw it in the trash but then I wouldn't have any place at all to put paper towels. So I guess it's better than nothing. But not by much.
Dear Park Tool, can you guys make an adjust cone spanner? I hate that you have buy individual ones (they always get borrowed indefinitly) when those flat little nuts never really need to be torque very high.
I gave you the idea of making the wheel holder to fit in your repair stand. Why have you not made something yet? If I am working out of the back of my car at a trailhead with a repair stand and no table, I need the option of clamping that wheel holder in a repair stand.

Where they pick up name Park Tool?
Their bike shop, Park Schwinn, was in the Hazel Park area of St. Paul.
Good Jake! But, when does the ball ends come for those sick hex wrenches?
Thanks for the interesting information 👍
wonderful video! As a enthusiast who builds and services my own bikes I for one would love to hear more history about the tool development...great stuff guys!
Great video! Especially the history part with insight on how to 'start' a similar business.
Wow! Engström in Minnesota 🇸🇪
Blue is my favorite color :D
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I LOVE History of Cycling!!
Bring Art back for more stories
Yes good idea. I love to hear inspiring lessons from an entrepreneur who built products to fill a need.
Just put Calvin on
19:46 thanks for showing my home workshop @bikeman_chan.
Loved the history lesson. Oh and I love your products even as a novice DIY’er.
The chain cleaner is JUNK. I've had two and they were used gently and they BOTH CRACKED! Park Tool said it's not their problem! Park Tool generally has NEVER stood BEHIND any of their tools! I've spent thousands $$$ and the few tools I've had issues with, they blame me even though I am a trained bike mechanic, frame building and have a degree in Mech. Engineering and Precision Machining.
Wow sorry to hear that, do I like the story of park tool I also like to here real people like you, can you safely say it’s ok to buy generic tools for bike repair?
I’m just starting out and this things are expensive.
engineer, there we go lmao
Mekhanic1, I hope you do not base your opinion of all our products on your chain cleaner experience. Please give us a call 651-777-6868 and I would be glad to talk to you more about your issues. We take pride in standing behind our products and is why people should feel confident in their Park Tool investment.
I've had issues with only two items from Park. One was the chain cleaner and it only had issues because I dropped it. I emailed them just looking for advice fixing it because I knew I broke it. They said not to worry they would send me a replacement part. Instead they shipped me a brand new cleaner and it works like a champ.
Park tool 👍🏻
Very cool origin story! Love those t handles too, my God those are sexy!
There goes my Christmas bonus. Need to have these tools, haha
I've used similar hex-tractor wrenches. I find they don't work on anything truly rounded out, with the exception of aluminum fasteners. However, they tend to chew up the interface beyond reasonable re-use, so I don't know why you wouldn't use an easy-out.
The extraction side would only be used when the normal hex side fails. A common cause of failure is simply poor engagement by a user, with the wrench partially installed. It ruins it for hex use, and that is where the hex-tractor side can help. An "easy-out" is an option but that required a drill and bit to get enough purchase for the easy-out.
Specialized tools are made by you?
Hi
Loved the history lesson, great video Park tools.
Upside down, haha I do that to as I don't have a stand yet
More videos with the founder please
So great to meet the first gen people!
Great series 😏👍🔧🚲
08:00 About history of ParkTool
Fantastique ! Merci . ✌
I like that sand cast stand.
OK, great story
great show
Hi
EXCELLENT
Hi
Great vid
Dope
Great new hex wrenches but $100+ for them is way out there for a set of 8
No it's not. It compares very well to auto-quality sliding t-handles from Beta etc.
And the Park ones have better features.
when talking to older people, listen, do talk. they may forget what they were getting ready to tell you.
