ABSTRACT:
The cleat removal/install tool has a handle with a first end and a second end. A ratchet is positioned within said handle member proximate said first end. A cleat receiving tool is positioned within said ratchet member or is directly built as part of the ratchet member The cleat tool has a concave surface which functions to mate with the upper surface of the cleat. The concave surface should not be spaced from the surface of the ratchet. That is, the design must be such as to prevent twisting of the concave surface away from the cleat. The upper surface of the cleat removal tool is, in the preferred embodiment, one inch or less from the concave surface of the cleat removal tool. The low thickness of the tool, preferably on the order of about on three quarters of an inch, permits the user to apply pressure directly above and very close to the upper surface of the cleat. The spike receiving recess is provided in the curved surface so that the spike can nest in the tool during the removal or installation process. A pair of prong members extend from the concave surface of said cleat removal tool and serve to engage the cleat during the removal or installation. The prongs are dimensioned to enter corresponding recesses in the golf shoe cleats.
