Most Beautiful, Functional, Satisfying Bike Tool?

Just for fun... what tool in your collection gives you pleasure either in using, looking or even holding...

I'll kick this off with a tool I don't use often, but I love to open the case...

For me, it's the Abbey Dual-Sided Crombie Tool. It looks great and makes the process of removing and installing cassettes much more pleasant.

The dull, visceral thump of a weighted plastic mallet.

Is that just a cassette tool welded onto a breaker bar?

I love my effeto mariposa torque wrench. Pictures don't do it justice but that damn thing is incredible looking and just super well made



I have the red one but they have a blue one that is a anniversary edition that looks even more incredible.

yes but it also allows you to undo a lockring without taking the quick release out. not a huge deal but once you get used to it, you'll never go back.

Abbey’s Crombie tool is simple, elegant, easy to use. A very efficient tool.
