We hardly lean too far out of the window when we say: In every workshop where bicycles are assembled and repaired, you will also find tools from Park Tool. The American brand has its origin in the 1960s in a bike shop in Minneapolis / St. Paul. Howard Hawkins and Art Engstrom did not find a suitable tool to repair the increasingly complex technology on the bicycles and built themselves with their "hands on" mentality. These included the first assembly stand, which enabled them to carry out even longer repairs on the bikes without damaging their backs. They quickly caused a sensation and aroused great interest: The birth of Park Tool. Since then, the brand has made a name for itself with outstandingly functional and well thought-out bicycle tools that should not be missing in any workshop, whether professional or hobby.
