The AV - 5 is an excellent shop accessory crafted from precision - extruded aluminum. It can hold a wide range of axles, spindles, and any Park Tool Freewheel Remover/Lockring Tool. The top retainer legs and magnets keep the inserts firmly in place when using a bench vise. It offers 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 20, 25, 30, and 36mm jaw openings, and also has a jaw opening for safely holding hydraulic tubing. There's a mini V - block, and it's 1' hex, compatible with Park Tool Freewheel Removers like FR - 1, FR - 2.
Using the AV - 5 is easy. First, place the item you want to hold, like an axle or spindle, in the appropriate jaw opening. The top retainer legs and magnets will keep the inserts in place. When using it with hydraulic tubing, put the tubing in the dedicated jaw opening. For Park Tool Freewheel Removers, the 1' hex compatibility allows for a proper fit. When not in use, keep it in a dry place to prevent rust. Clean it regularly with a soft cloth to maintain its performance. Make sure to handle it gently to avoid any damage to the precision - extruded aluminum parts.
