Tool porn

Yes and yes

Ah yeah. I was thinking about the screwdriver. Does it go beyond the 2.0 nm mentioned on the box?

Would anyone like to buy a Peli 1550 case with a couple of foam shelves for £50? I was planning a toolbox build but have changed plans.

It's in Homerton and must be collected.

Peli 1550

What colour is it? Condition?

Porn, not porn, but THE best screwdriver for the cycle trade and home use IMHO. I hate to mention the name, but it's the King Dick 1 for 6. It fits those Shimano limit screws perfectly, even when they are old and rusty. PH, PZ and JIS size 1-2-3 just love this tool, and it's not even expensive at about £7 - Google is you friend.

We spent years using those rubbish Park drivers, that were the wrong size and profile for any bike screws ever; binned them all, and each workstation just has one of these babies = happy days.

Super comfortable, and the tips show no signs of wear after a year of abuse.

Has options for 1.2,2 and 4 Nm

Perfect

I hope so- I’m going to be taking the rotors and putting them on again every time I take the downhill bike out, so be nice if that wasn’t as annoying as it can be with a trail ratchet

These showed up. I think I might have to recut one of my foams because these are considerably nicer than my shitty Lidl P-handles

Can you use CL rotors? I'd get fucked off doing 6-bolts every time I traveled.

I want that just for the name now.

I'd have thought this was more your thing

Not compatible with a 20mm axle

Surely pillars = Knipex

Amen. Probably the most useful tool I’ve ever bought

You sure about that?

I always spec. CL if I can - mostly for the travel.

Hah, ok - looks like I was wrong.

Thank you for posting this. Never seen one.

The Halfords advanced tools in foam trays are amazing value for a lifetime warranty, especially if you have a trade card - not too hard to get.

The bott perfo wall panels are handy too, I have them on all over. They aren't pricey.

I've had to use them before - my SP dynamo hubs are 15mm axles.

Just think about all the sexy new parts and tools you get to buy now.

Spanner/socket sets are probably the exception I'd make for foam cutouts.

Mine are all in a separate case to my toolbox anyway as there's no room.

I felt the same but bought these for another toolbox...and now find myself grabbing these instead. It's handy to lift out the tray and take them all to the workspace.

I mostly use my spanners/sockets for car work - I just grab the box they came in and take it out. I have other bits that go with my torque wrenches for bikes that live in the main toolbox.

The screwdriver I bought recently does make six bolt pretty straightforward- I’ll stick with the wheels I have for now.

Knippex pipe cutter and Ridgid pipe de-burring tool are very satisfying to use and extremely effective - makes it very straightforward to do a neat, easy job.
