Product Information
Full details
The Apico 5-in-one Axle Tool is an essential companion for motorcycle enthusiasts and mechanics who perform their own routine wheel maintenance. Designed to consolidate five common hex sizes into a single, compact unit, it significantly reduces the amount of weight in your tool kit; however, users should note that it requires a separate 3/8-inch drive ratchet or wrench to operate effectively, as it is not a standalone handle tool.
