Removing the axle split pin?

Oddjob:
Pliers are very useful, removing stuff that's red hot, grabbing stuff that's sharp, like broken bulbs etc. Even stopping things from spinning whilst your trying to undo the nut etc.

They are for holding the one tiny nut when you fasten the opposite other one of the breakerpoints.

Eye watering amount of money.

Thanks Ken , Yes that’s a lot - especially since it would be pretty hard to use to loosen a correctly torqued axle nut. Will stick to my 26mm socket which can be used with a torque wrench.

Oddjob:
The 26mm eye wrench though Dave is meant to be carried on the bike at all times, for emergency repairs etc, like fixing a puncture.

Until I found a genuine one I intended to put this in the tool kit.

Not exactly ideal but it would have done the job.
