Tool porn

You're level of organisation makes me jealous.

Honorable mention to the laser level

Anyone know where I can buy a 4-pack of those King Dick screwdrivers mentioned up-thread without the carry case?

Can only find 3-packs or bulk lots on ebay

My hose is too short

Maybe not porn but at least unusual.

It’s a VAR Preciray building/truing stand.

Allowing to round and align at the same, with a x3 visual amplification at the « repère »

So if you’re straight to more or less 1 millimeter regarding the « repère » the wheel is actually straight to 0.33mm

His inventor Pierre Rensonnet won the 1966 Concours Lépine with it.
It allow to build clean wheelset. The tool weight a tone and seems bombproof

That's very cool

(It didn’t matter that my hose was too short as I shortened the brake hoses and changed the levers without requiring a bleed).

Just ordered myself a Wera Zyklop Speed ratchet to replace my 1/4 ratchet and driver handle. I noticed yesterday I needed to switch between them quite often, but taking bits off and on again was annoying. This should do both jobs, less faffing.

The bleed stand thing was handy for not spilling any fluid/getting air in, with the addition of a re-usable zip-tie.

3 mtb for a flat country?

Your festol box looks handy. The top was a good idea.

100% porn!

The black plastic clamps are very handy for all manner of tasks where you don't want something to be able to move, yesterday it was to hold the lever mounting block whilst I punched the retaining pin out of the lever.

I have two.
One at work.
One at home.
A tool of delight.

Does it accept hex bits in the 1/4 inch drive shaft?

Don't think that one does but they do another one that does.

The wrench looks ace minor details, even if insignificant, and simplicity just makes these things

£48 on eBay ffs

Ah, yeah, f-off.... and I feel it'll never be the same

I still feel lucky that this butter wrench was in a box full of tools that I got alongside a very nice old bike, years ago. Never attend the track without it.

I left my peanut butter wrench on a wall in Guildford once, it was still there 4 hours later once I’d realised what had happened.
Daily carry, this is my usual wallet, much to the annoyance of Liz

Considering getting one of these Stanley things, mainly cos it’s big enough for what I need, portable, and can open the units without unstacking them. Before I do, any better suggestions?
Cheers in advance

That looks better than the Topeak bike specific one which I find almost completely unusable even if it is slightly more compact.
