A combination of Version 1 (laser cut, not CNC machine finished) and V2, CNC machined Link Wrenches with cosmetic blemishes - mostly spatter from the laser cutting process (example in photos). All fully functional, with a normal laser engraved side where the logo is. All sales final. 

The Link Wrench is an 8, 9, and 10mm wrench that can be used to open a master link with the included Dyneema cord. How, you might ask? Check out the video at the bottom of the page and carry the lightest master link tool out there. CNC machined in the USA, offered in Titanium and Stainless Steel versions.

The 8/10mm only version provides more clearance at the 8mm end for accessing nuts with an obstruction behind them (a rack tube, raised edge, etc.). If some 8mm nuts on your bicycle have a bracket or tube behind them, we recommend this version.

Specs & Benefits

-No more fiddling with stubby multi-tool wrenches to access tight spaces between racks, fenders and bags.

-A lightweight (21g for the titanium version, 34g for stainless) alternative to carrying a wrench and master link pliers seperately (~78g for the two).  

-Common 8, 9, and 10mm sizes all in one tool. 

-The Included 500lb dyneema cord from Samson Rope in Bellingham, WA makes it the lightest trailside master link opener around.

A note on nuts n' bolts

You may notice the fit on our wrench is slightly tighter than other wrenches, particularly if you use the wrench on quality in-house made hardware that is not undersized (Paul Component, Rene Herse etc.) However most mass produced nuts and bolt heads you're likely to encounter are slightly undersized. So, our wrenches are slightly undersized to give an optimum fit on the most common hardware. If you wish for a looser fit, you can take a flat file to the wrench flats and in a couple strokes, make the opening noticeably larger.

The Wrenchin' Raccoon

After a few long tours with a heavy toolkit, Forager founder Dan began going through each tool in his bag and asking how it could be made lighter, more versatile, or eliminated altogether. He had always carried a stamped steel 8 & 10mm wrench for reaching those hard-to-access bolts on various rack setups, and used it many times over the years. Titanium was a logical way to lighten it up. Through testing and design specifically for laser cutting and CNC machining, an affordable, ultralight rack wrench was born!

Enjoy!
