00:00If you've ever tried adjusting your bike's rear shock preload with a hammer and a screwdriver,
00:04first of all, I'm sorry, and second, please stop.
00:07I went digging for the best deals on motorcycle suspension and spanner wrench tools,
00:12and honestly, some of these cost less than a burrito.
00:15Here are my top 5.
00:17Kicking things off, the Universal Motorcycle Repair Tool T-Shaped Spring Hook and C-Hook
00:22Spanner Set.
00:24This is the one I'd hand to a beginner without thinking twice.
00:27You get the T-Handle Spring Puller for exhaust and chain springs,
00:31plus the C-Hook for cranking on your shock's preload collar, two jobs, one little kit.
00:36It's $4.85.
00:39Nearly 5,000 sold with a perfect 5-star rating, which tells you people aren't snapping these things.
00:45If you're building a garage toolbox from scratch, start here.
00:49Next up, the Motorcycle Spring Adjuster Wrench Hook Tool.
00:53What I like about this one is the handle, it's got real length to it,
00:57so you get leverage instead of skin knuckles.
01:00Anyone who's fought a stiff preload ring on a cold shock knows exactly what I mean.
01:05$6.48, 4.7 stars, almost $4,700 sold.
01:11It's the kind of tool you buy once, toss in the drawer, and it just quietly does its job for
01:15years.
01:17Third, the Crescent Shock Adjustment Wrench for Rear Forks and Spring Adjusters.
01:21This one's shaped to hug the collar properly, so instead of grabbing one tiny notch and chewing it up,
01:27you're spreading the load across the curve.
01:29That matters if you've got nice shocks you don't want a scar.
01:33$4.09, the cheapest on this list, 5-star rating, $4,600 sold.
01:39Ridiculously good value for something that saves your suspension from looking beat up.
01:44Now if you're actually going deeper, the Universal CNC Rear Shock Absorber Wrench with the 3, 4, and 5mm pins.
01:52This is the serious one.
01:54CNC machined, adjustable pins, and it's made for pulling oil seal bases and shock caps apart proper rebuild territory,
02:02not just preload tweaks.
02:03$1,729, and yeah, it's the priciest here, but it's still cheaper than one shop visit.
02:105 stars, $4,000 sold.
02:12If you service your own suspension, this pays for itself immediately.
02:17And rounding out the list, the metal C-spanner wrench hook for Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and ATVs.
02:24Simple, solid steel, no moving parts to fail.
02:27It's the classic C-spanner shape that fits most stock shocks straight out of the box,
02:32and it's light enough to live under your seat for roadside preload changes when you throw a passenger on.
02:37$4.20, 4.9 stars, nearly $3,800 sold.
02:43Cheap insurance for a tool you'll be glad you had.
02:46All the links are down in the description, so grab whichever one fits your setup.

02:56you in the next one.
