Cool Tool: Topeak 8/10mm Ratcheting Wrench

I have not used this tool in years, really since V-Brakes brought an end to 8mm nuts on canti’s and 10mm nuts on straddle cables.

But sometime at the shop in the 90s I picked up this tool, its made by Topeak it has both 8 and 10mm ratcheting box wrenches.

I had not used it recently, but when I was putting on a set of Paul’s Touring Brakes it really shined, regaining its former glory.

As a note, it is much smaller than the “gear wrenches” that are currently available at places like Sears.
