Park CSH-1 Clamping Spoke Holder
Securely holds round and bladed spokes in place during tension adjustment to prevent wind-up and twisting.
The CSH-1 is one of the tools that actually lives on our bench in Georgia. Park Tool design and manufacture it in Minnesota; ProWheelBuilder is an independent wheel builder in Georgia and a Park stockist, not the manufacturer.
What it does
Bladed and round spokes both wind up as you tension them, and a wound spoke unwinds later and takes the truth with it. Holding the spoke while the nipple turns is the only way to tension that wheel properly.
What Park say about it
- Securely holds spokes in place during spoke tension adjustment to prevent wind-up of round and bladed spokes, as well as rotation of straight-pull spokes
- The versatile head can grip spokes in multiple positions for optimal leverage and hand positioning
- Constructed of forged heat-treated steel with comfortable dual-density grips

About this listing
This is the CSH-1 on its own. Tools ship by themselves rather than being built into anything, so it goes out the same day where we can.
How we use it at ProWheelBuilder
We are a wheel shop before we are a tool shop. The Park tools we list are the ones that earn a place on our own bench, not a catalog we resell sight unseen. If you are not sure the CSH-1 is what your job needs, say so before you order — a quick question costs nothing and the wrong tool costs twice.
There is a reason the blue handles are everywhere: Park document their repair procedures publicly and build the tools to match, so the instructions stay valid for years.

CSH-1 questions
Do you ship tools on their own?
Yes — tools go out separately. Only rims, hubs, spokes and nipples get built into a wheel before shipping.
Is this the right one for my wheels?
Tell us what you are working on and we will tell you straight. A spoke holder has to fit the part exactly; the wrong size does damage rather than work.
Not sure? Text or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929 or email info@prowheelbuilder.com — you will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
