Tuesday Tool Thread

[Ozz]

Not Tuesday...but still excited. Finally broke down and splurged for an Abbey Tools Decade Chain Tool:

I bought a DeWalt portaband yesterday, and a table for it. Pretty excited.

(not my pic, but should be similar once I receive it)

OZ, enjoy the decade!

Rice Rocket, the guys at Swag Offroad are literally across the street from us. Next time let one of us know and we can combine shipping! I picked up one of their drill caddies for the new shop, nice little organizational tool.

Wow, small world!

I've been sitting on the band saw table for a while, but have recommended it to many people. I have their press brake kit already which is also fantastic. They really have a knack for making really capable DIY stuff.

Not cycling related either, but the other day I discovered Klein combo tips (or Xeno if you're Wiha). They mate w/ those flat/Philips heads real well to give you the best purchase possible on the screw heads.

someone bought a used bike that came with a bunch of extra assorted tools and parts. does anyone have any idea what this is? we are stumped.

Google image search shows up arrow rests for compound bows.

Martin Archery is a brand that exists on the internet, but not sure beyond cursory searching here.

Definitely not bike related, but the MATCO guy came to my place of employment again.

Spent some $$ on expensive impact rated stuff: 16mm wobble socket and a impact rated swivel for the already impact rated sockets

I'm installing a clutch in my Dodge and some of those bolts *need!* the 1/2" impact gun

Filling out the toolbox with quality tools is always a good investment

Finally got my torque wrenches back from the calibration shop, nearly 2 months and $85 later but still cheaper than new wrenches.

Anybody have an experience with Super B tools? Been thinking about pulling the trigger on a Park Tools CRP-1 but Super B has their equivalent crown race puller for only 120 dollars. Which is very tempting...

Seems like they are on par with the big names over here, except they are just UK based?

The Park CRP-2 is a 3 'arm' design but I have the CRP-1 and never had an issue with it, PLUS, I got mine for way less than $120..

Not mine

BB tool question -
I am installing an ultegra bsa bb bbr60 41mm - these used to ship with a plastic insert converting your larger lockring tool (https://www.competitivecyclist.com/unior-locking-wrench) for use with the bb. Shimano didn't/doesn't include the insert and I'm wondering if there is a more permanent product out there that would allow me to down convert the tool to use with the smaller diameter spline.
