Looking to upgrade my screwdriver set. Any good, solid recommendations?

Pretty much anything from KC Tool. I'm partial to Wera.

New tools, not cycling specific, but pretty effective at what it does.

A day early but worth the post. This stuff just works. Used it on a finicky front Ultegra rotor and caliper that I tried everything else on.

Been wanting a pair of Campy/S-Brand socket crombies for ages. Had them in the cart so many times but baulk at the price (in AUD).

I ordered one of the abbey steer tube cutting guides this week too!

I want to talk myself into the lever setter tool too, but my finicky hands can tell as little as a MM of difference in hood height already.

Tool Thursday?

Big ol box of tools arrived today. Some I had and lost, some are brand new from Park. I am not a massive Park fan but sometimes they are the only one who makes that tool so I buy it. About $600 in tools.

I loan tools out to people and never get them back (rotor gauge) and during the move I some how lost a couple things (fork straightener, crown tool). Never had the chain whip pliers and I wanted the new handlebar holder (have the old tuning fork style one). Park also have a new 12 and 16th individual style T47 BB tool. I have the double sided ones but they suck. Figured I'd give these a try.

Not Tuesday but......

3D printer to the rescue once again. Needed to find a spot in the top of my toolbox for a few 3/8 speciality sockets. Tucked away nicely under the lid.

This was already covered earlier:

But I see that Harbor Freight has an Ikon clone now.

And Lennox has a clone on Amazon that opens even wider and is a bit cheaper.

Neither have the slim mod though, but something like this should work for cone wrenches.

Fired up the 3D printer again....

Slowly iterating on my CO2 and Dynaplug Pill holder. Now I have a spot for my Schrader/Presta adapter to thread into and not rattle around in my jersey pocket pouch.

I'll second that. Nicely done!

I bought a 3 plane laser level last week to do some tile and then this pops up.

Guess I'll know what I'll be doing next weekend...

This thing does the trick if your not into paying 40 for a small wrench….it’s called a flex or flexible head wrench
