Park Tool AV-5 Axle and Spindle Vise Inserts
The Park Tool AV-5 Axle and Spindle Vise Inserts are a versatile workshop essential designed to hold a wide variety of axles, spindles, and small cylindrical components securely in place. Perfect for wheel and hub service, the AV-5 accommodates most quick-release and thru-axle sizes, along with smaller openings for brake and shifter housing or hydraulic hose.
Its precision-extruded aluminum body ensures a secure, damage-free grip, while the vinyl-dipped retaining fingers and strong built-in magnets allow the inserts to stay firmly in your vise jaws — or be easily removed when not in use. The AV-5 also features a 1" hex opening for compatibility with Park Tool cassette and freewheel removers such as the FR-1.3 and FR-5.2G.
