Shimano Tl-Fc21 Peg Spanner

Shimano TL-FC21 Peg Spanner

The Shimano TL-FC21 is a specialized tool designed for chainring and crank service. Featuring extended 133mm length with dual-claw design, it enables secure chainring nut retention during bolt removal and crank cap adjustment without requiring multiple tools.

Key Features

• Extended 133mm Length — 30mm longer than previous TL-FC20 model provides superior leverage and control during high-torque chainring bolt removal procedures
• 3-Claw Chainring Nut Design — Three-point claw geometry securely grips slotted chainring fixing nuts, preventing rotation during chainring bolt removal and installation
• 2-Claw Crank Cap Design — Dual-claw configuration enables one-key-release crank cap installation and removal without slipping or nut damage
• Dual-Function Capability — Single tool provides both chainring service and crank cap adjustment, eliminating need for separate specialized tools
• Multi-Purpose Wrench — Can function as 9mm and 10mm wrench for additional fastener applications beyond chainring service
• Hardened Steel Construction — Heat-treated steel provides rigidity and durability under high-torque chainring bolt removal and crank cap adjustment
• Secure Engagement — Claw geometry prevents nut rotation and slipping during fastener removal without damaging nut slots or surfaces
• Improved Leverage — Extended length provides superior mechanical advantage compared to previous model, reducing force required for removal
• Professional Grade — Quality construction suitable for professional shops, racing programs, and serious home mechanics
• Durable Design — Hardened steel resists wear and deformation across extended service cycles
