details

Lightweight double headed 5mm hex key made from Ti alloy. Plasma hardened for durability. A great all rounder. Essential for bike maintenance. Goes well in your cycle stack or for any other medium bolt application. Essential for loosening derailleurs and headsets and all other medium bolts.

Extreme conditions require extreme materials

We use titanium alloy for a reason. It’s high Tensile strength to density ratio. In layman’s terms it’s strong and light. In fact it’s half the weight of standard steel. This makes it the perfect material choice for anything where weight is important. Titanium alloy was originally developed for the aerospace industry to allow planes and spacecraft to fly faster, higher and further. We have chosen to apply it to the world of outdoor adventure sports for the same basic reasons. When you are on your bike or in the mountains you feel every gram that you carry. Windeler tools are designed to be unnoticeable on your adventure until the moment you need them allowing you to go further, higher and faster.

Windeler tools have a molecular, armoured shell

Plasma nitriding is a high tech treatment which gives metal parts incredibly hard surfaces. It’s a low pressure process carried out in chamber filled with a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen. A very high voltage is applied between the component and the chamber wall. This generates a purple plasma around the part. On the surface of the part, nitrogen-rich nitrides are formed and decompose, releasing active nitrogen which penetrates the metal surface and forms a hard shell in the top layers of the part. Plasma nitriding allows modification of the surface according to the desired properties. Tailor made layers and hardness profiles can be achieved by adapting the gas mixture.
