Bicycle mechanics, vintage bike restorers, and serious home wrenches who service cup-and-cone hubs, threaded headsets, and bottom brackets and need a reliable tool for lockrings and cones.

[ Why genuine matters ]

Hozan has manufactured precision bicycle and industrial tools in Japan since 1946. Genuine Hozan pliers are made from properly hardened steel with correctly finished jaws, so they grip lockrings without rounding or marring them. Cheap imitations use soft steel and imprecise jaws that slip, damage parts, and wear out quickly.
