Honoring Park Tool Co-Founder Howard Hawkins

Park Tool Co Founder Howard Hawkins

Walk into any bike repair shop and you will notice the distinctive blue tools and repair stands which have become standard equipment in most all American bike shops.  Since 1963 Park Tool Company has made it easier and safer for bike techs. to perform their work with innovative designs and a reputation for quality.

Check out the link provided below from Bike Magazine showing how Park Tool provides more bike specific tools than any other company in the world.  Most of my bike specific tools are from Park Tool Co. and I truly appreciate the tried and true quality of their products.

With the recent passing of Park Tool Co Founder Howard Hawkins I just wanted to express my gratitude and condolences.
