The Park Tool AV-5 is a versatile shop accessory designed to hold a wide range of axles and spindles for bicycle wheel and hub maintenance. In addition to accommodating common quick-release and thru-axle sizes, it features smaller openings for brake and shifter housing or hydraulic hoses. The AV-5 also includes a 1″ hex opening, making it compatible with Park Tool cassette and freewheel tools like the FR-1.3 or FR-5.2G. Equipped with vinyl-dipped retaining fingers and strong magnets, the AV-5 can stay permanently in the vise jaws or be easily removed and stored. Its precision-extruded aluminum construction ensures no damage to components.
