The catalogue carries the title "Spezial-Werkzeuge für Fahrräder, Mopeds, Motorräder", special tools for bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles, and comes from Ellinghaus & Dickmann, Wuppertal-Elberfeld. It shows a range that started with the bicycle: spoke nipple spanners in several forms, among them a patented clamping type and a powered nipple driver for workshops, taper pliers for hubs and bottom brackets, pedal spanners and fork spreaders. Alongside them the spanners and pliers that belonged in every tool roll. The catalogue itself is available digitised at velopedia.online.

The range today

With the moped and mokick wave the programme shifted to engine tools: flywheel pullers, sprocket holding tools, clutch pullers, degree wheels. These tools make up the current range; every one has a datasheet.

Identifying an old ELDI tool

  1. Look for the stamp: "ELDI" is usually on the handle or on the spanner flat.

  2. Compare the shape with the entries above. Narrow it down with the tool type and vehicle filters.

  3. With pullers, measure the thread and compare it with the thread table; the thread size gives away the vehicle.

  4. An unknown piece? Send a photo and the dimensions to contact; we add to the archive when a tool can be placed.
