Best Bicycle Multitools with Pedal Wrenches for Adult Trike Riders
A thin 15 mm jaw and a long handle matter more than a long tool count when a trike pedal is stuck.
Updated · 4 min read · 5 products evaluated
Pedals are one of the few parts of an adult trike that riders remove on purpose. You pull them to fit the frame through a doorway, to swap flats for platforms with straps, or to replace a worn pair. A pocket multitool with a small 15 mm wrench can tighten a loose pedal, but it rarely has the leverage to break one free.
This guide sorts the field into two groups: long dedicated pedal wrenches that live in the garage, and one compact multitool that carries a 15 mm wrench for the road. The right choice depends on whether you remove pedals at home or only need to snug one up beside the path.
Short answer
The Jaswill pedal wrench is the best all-round pick because it pairs two 15 mm jaws and a 9/16 inch jaw with a 320 mm handle. The Pawfly adds crank puller and bottom bracket openings, the HXILAJM suits stubborn pedals with its long dual-head handle, and the ROCKBROS 16-in-1 is the one to carry on rides. All five are unverified newer products, so check fit before relying on them.

Best Overall1 of 5
Jaswill Bike Pedal Wrench
A long, simple wrench that covers both common pedal sizes and adds hex sockets for the rest of the bolts.
Best for
Home pedal removal and installation
Why we like it
The Jaswill combines two 15 mm spanners, a 9/16 inch spanner and three hex sockets at 6, 8 and 10 mm on one steel tool. The 320 mm handle gives the leverage that a pocket tool cannot, which is what you need when a trike pedal has been tightened by years of pedaling force.
It is more versatile than the GEWAGE, which stops at a 15 mm jaw, and it is simpler to use than the Pawfly, which spends its openings on crank and bottom bracket work. It is a garage tool rather than a ride-along, and as a newer product it has no long track record, so inspect the jaws on arrival.
Key specs
| Size | 320 mm handle |
|---|---|
| Features | Two 15 mm jaws, 9/16 inch jaw, 6, 8 and 10 mm hex sockets |
Specs can change between model years; confirm the exact version before buying.
Strengths
- Covers 15 mm and 9/16 inch pedals
- Long 320 mm handle for leverage
- Hex sockets add extra uses
- Heavy-duty steel with burr-free edges
Limitations
- Too long for a seat bag
- Newer product, little long-term history
Consider it if
- Riders who remove pedals for storage
- Owners of mixed pedal sizes
Skip it if
- Riders who want a single tool for the road
Best Pocket Multitool2 of 5
ROCKBROS 16-in-1 Bike Multitool
The only true multitool here, with a 15 mm wrench small enough to carry on every ride.
Best for
Roadside tightening on a trike you ride away from home
Why we like it
The ROCKBROS packs hex keys from 2 to 6 mm, sockets at 8, 9 and 10 mm and wrenches at 8, 10 and 15 mm into a galvanized steel body of about 90 x 44 x 25 mm. That 15 mm wrench is what lets you snug a loose pedal on the roadside.
Against the Jaswill and HXILAJM it gives up almost all leverage, so treat it as a tighten-in-place tool, not a removal tool. It suits riders who carry one multitool for everything. It is a new product without a proven record, and it has no tire levers.
Key specs
| Size | 90 x 44 x 25 mm, about 205 g |
|---|---|
| Features | Hex 2 to 6 mm, 8, 9, 10 mm sockets, 8, 10, 15 mm wrenches, galvanized steel |
Specs can change between model years; confirm the exact version before buying.
Strengths
- 15 mm wrench included
- Galvanized steel resists rust
- Compact enough for a seat bag
- Hex, socket and wrench in one tool
Limitations
- Short body gives little leverage
- No tire levers
- Newer, less proven product
Consider it if
- Riders who carry one tool for everything
- Quick pedal tightening on the road
Skip it if
- Freeing a pedal that has seized
Best for Crank Work3 of 5
Pawfly 3-in-1 Bike Pedal Wrench
Adds crank puller and bottom bracket openings to a long, thick pedal wrench.
Best for
Riders who service the crank area as well as the pedals
Why we like it
The Pawfly uses its three openings for different jobs: 15 mm for pedals, 16 mm for crank pullers and 24 mm for bottom bracket tools. The 320 mm arm and 5 mm thick high-carbon steel give strong leverage, and the size marks help you pick the right opening quickly.
It beats the Jaswill if you also plan crank or bottom bracket work, but it has no hex sockets and no 9/16 inch jaw, so riders with older imperial pedals should look at the Jaswill or HXILAJM instead. Like the others it is an unverified newer product.
Key specs
| Size | 320 mm long, 5 mm thick steel |
|---|---|
| Features | 15 mm pedal, 16 mm crank puller, 24 mm bottom bracket openings |
Specs can change between model years; confirm the exact version before buying.
Strengths
- Three useful openings in one tool
- Thick 5 mm high-carbon steel
- Size marks on each opening
- Non-slip rubber handle
Limitations
- No 9/16 inch jaw
- No hex sockets
Consider it if
- Home mechanics doing crank service
- Riders replacing worn pedals
Skip it if
- Riders with older 9/16 inch pedals only
Best for Stubborn Pedals4 of 5
HXILAJM 4-in-1 Pedal Wrench
A 14 inch dual-head handle and reinforced jaws aimed at pedals that will not turn.
Best for
Pedals that have been in place for years
Why we like it
The HXILAJM includes 15 mm and 9/16 inch open wrenches, a 21 mm 10-tooth socket and hex sockets at 6, 8 and 10 mm on a 14 inch handle. The 5 mm heat-treated high-carbon steel and reinforced jaws are meant to resist spreading under high torque.
It is the longest handle of the group, so it has the edge over the Jaswill when a pedal is truly stuck, and its rubber grip stays secure with gloves or oily hands. The cost is bulk, since it does not suit a seat bag, and the maker's compatibility claims should be checked against your own pedals.
Key specs
| Size | 14 inch dual-head handle |
|---|---|
| Features | 15 mm and 9/16 inch jaws, 21 mm 10-tooth socket, 6, 8, 10 mm hex |
Specs can change between model years; confirm the exact version before buying.
Strengths
- Longest handle in this group
- Covers both common pedal sizes
- Reinforced jaws for high torque
- Grip stays secure with gloves
Limitations
- Bulky, garage use only
- Newer product, long-term wear unknown
Consider it if
- Older pedals that resist turning
- Riders who wear gloves in the garage
Skip it if
- Anyone who needs a ride-along tool
Best Offset Reach5 of 5
GEWAGE Bike Pedal Wrench
A slightly offset 15 mm wrench that reaches a pedal without scraping the crank arm.
Best for
Simple 15 mm pedal jobs
Why we like it
The GEWAGE has a slight offset in its shape so the jaw sits on the pedal flats without scraping the crank. It is made of 4 mm heat-treated steel with a non-slip rubber handle, and it has two 15 mm ends.
It does one job, which makes it the easiest tool here to use and the least flexible. If your pedals are 15 mm it is enough, but the Jaswill and HXILAJM cover 9/16 inch pedals too, and neither the offset nor the 4 mm steel gives the same leverage as the longer 5 mm tools.
Key specs
| Fit and mounting | Rubber handle |
|---|---|
| Features | 15 mm jaws at both ends, slight offset, heat-treated 4 mm steel |
Specs can change between model years; confirm the exact version before buying.
Strengths
- Offset shape avoids scraping
- Simple to use
- Rubber handle with good grip
- Heat-treated steel body
Limitations
- 15 mm only
- Thinner steel than the 5 mm tools
Consider it if
- Riders with standard 15 mm pedals
- First-time pedal swaps
Skip it if
- Owners of 9/16 inch pedals

How We Chose These Multitools with Pedal Wrenches
- Jaw sizes
- We looked for a 15 mm jaw and noted any 9/16 inch option, since those are the two sizes riders meet on pedal flats.
- Leverage
- Handle length and steel thickness decide whether a pedal comes loose, so we compared the stated 320 mm and 14 inch handles.
- Carry or keep
- A pocket multitool and a garage wrench solve different problems, so we kept both groups and labeled them clearly.
- Evidence level
- Every pick is a newer or lightly proven product, so we avoided calling any of them proven and flagged a fit check for each.
What to Look for in a Multitool with Pedal Wrench
Jaw size and thickness
Most pedal spindles have two flat faces for a 15 mm wrench, and some older pedals use 9/16 inch. The jaw has to be thin enough to slide between the pedal body and the crank arm.
If a wrench stops short of the flats, it rounds them off. Measure the flats or try a wrench on a spare pedal before relying on it.
Handle length and leverage
A longer handle multiplies the force your hand can apply, which is the difference between a pedal that breaks loose and one that stays put. Short multitool wrenches are for tightening, not for freeing.
Check the stated handle length. Over 300 mm is a good threshold for stuck pedals.
Left-hand thread
The left pedal on most bikes and trikes has a reverse thread, so it loosens in the opposite direction. Pushing the wrong way tightens it further and can strip the crank.
Mark L and R before you remove a pair, and turn the left pedal toward the rear of the trike to loosen it.
Extra openings versus carry size
Each extra socket or crank opening adds bulk. A tool that does five jobs is only useful on the road if it fits in a seat bag.
Decide whether you want one tool or two, then buy the pocket multitool and the garage wrench separately if you do pedal work at home.
How to Choose
By Where You Work
| Situation | Our pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Removing pedals at home for storage | Jaswill Bike Pedal Wrench | Both common jaw sizes and a 320 mm handle |
| Pedals seized for years | HXILAJM 4-in-1 Pedal Wrench | The 14 inch handle gives the most leverage |
| Tightening a loose pedal on the road | ROCKBROS 16-in-1 Bike Multitool | A 15 mm wrench in a seat-bag-sized tool |
| Servicing the crank as well | Pawfly 3-in-1 Bike Pedal Wrench | Adds 16 mm crank puller and 24 mm bottom bracket openings |
Long Wrench vs Pocket Multitool
- Long wrench
- The Jaswill, Pawfly, HXILAJM and GEWAGE have handles from about 14 inches to 320 mm and are meant for removal and installation in a garage.
- Pocket multitool
- The ROCKBROS carries hex keys, sockets and a 15 mm wrench in roughly 205 g, so it suits tightening and adjustment on a ride.
Most trike riders should own one of each: a long wrench at home and the ROCKBROS in the seat bag.
For Apartment Trike Storage Specifically
- Look for
- A wrench with both a 15 mm and a 9/16 inch jaw, so you can pull pedals to slide the trike through a narrow door and refit them without a second tool.
- In this comparison
- The Jaswill and HXILAJM cover both sizes, and the HXILAJM's longer handle helps if the pedals have not been moved in a while.
When to Spend More
- Spend more if
- You work on several bikes or a stuck set of pedals, in which case the HXILAJM's reinforced jaws and long handle are worth having over the GEWAGE.
- Save if
- You only swap pedals once, in which case the GEWAGE or the Jaswill handles a basic 15 mm job with no extras.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size wrench do trike pedals use?
Most adult trike pedals use a 15 mm flat on the spindle, and some older ones use 9/16 inch. The Jaswill and HXILAJM carry both. Check your spindle before buying.
Which way do I turn the left pedal to remove it?
The left pedal has a reverse thread, so it loosens in the opposite direction to the right pedal. If it will not turn, you are likely pushing the wrong way.
Can a pocket multitool remove a stuck pedal?
Usually not. The ROCKBROS is made for tightening in place, because its short body gives little leverage. Use a long wrench like the HXILAJM or Jaswill for stuck pedals.
Do I need a separate crank puller wrench?
Only if you plan crank work. The Pawfly includes a 16 mm crank puller opening and a 24 mm bottom bracket opening, so it covers both without a second tool.
Are these tools proven?
They are all newer products without a long track record, so inspect the jaws and handle when they arrive and test fit on a spare pedal before relying on one.
Bottom Line
Buy the Jaswill for a dependable home wrench that covers both pedal sizes, and add the ROCKBROS multitool for the seat bag. Choose the HXILAJM if the pedals are stubborn and the Pawfly if crank work is also on your list.
