Pedros
Pedros Beverage Wrench
Pedros are well known for their tools and lubes and their distinctive yellow and black styling adorns many a workshop. Pedros sound like they come from somewhere hot, like Spain or Mexico and it's only natural that if you're working somewhere hot you'll be wanting to open a cool drink occasionally, which is why they have designed this Beverage Wrench for your benefit. With a rubberised handle it's easy to grip and you could probably open bottles for several friends without developing blisters.
Pedros Vise Whip
Thanks to Pedro's Vise whip, from now on my battered and unloved chain whip stays in the toolbox! Retailing at a cool £50 and backed by lifetime warrantee, it definitely falls into the (MARKETING SPEAK WARNING!) prosumer category-hardy enough for the rigors of a busy bike shop but within the reach of home mechanics. On the downside, track and urban fixer aficionados will cry foul since it doesn't entertain 1/8th sprockets and letting slip you've bought one will see the world and their club-mate camped outside begging to borrow it...
Pedros Green Fizz foaming bike wash
The Pedros brand is known for its environmentally sound credentials, and this bike wash is true to the ethos. You can spray it on your bike, wash it off, and the resulting effluent running down the drain won’t harm Planet Earth.
To test it, I used Green Fizz on my training bike after a couple of long rides, including an audax on some narrow Cotswold lanes, so it was spattered in a good mix of dust, mud and cow poo. For the purposes of the test, I left the bike in the garage for a few days to let these delightful ingredients set nicely.
Pedros Bio Grease
This Bio Grease from Pedros is so wholesome you could spread it on your toast. Okay, maybe that's going a bit far but it is at least non-toxic and biodegradable, so you can slap it on guilt free. It's good stuff too, though it does have a tendency to separate in the heat.
