[@reboundrides8132]

One purchase I desperately need to make

[@jb-il3vh]

It is a tool

[@Nphen]

I inquired about buying a bike stand at my local shop when I brought my fork in for a star nut today. I really should just get one. Working on a DIY ebike MTB which in testing so far has been the best bike I have ever rode. Gary Fisher 2007 donor bike. 1500w rear hub motor. The stand and a few other tools from this vid will be worth it just for cables, brakes & tires.

[@derekhobbs1102]

I have automotive flare nut spanners, I probably only use them once a year, but really glad I have them when I do.

My favorite tool in Mountain Biking is Seth. I knew nothing a few years back, I have a bunch of hacked tools and gained knowledge that keeps me riding and I truly appreciate the channel. Thanks Seth!

Wera hex keys are my favourite. Great for getting out bolt without rounding them and the colours make it easy to see where you've chucked the one you need quickly.

[@vidiia]

My favourite non-essential bike tool is the stub screwdriver - gives you so much more control when adjusting V-brake tension screws, shifter limit screws, any finicky little screws really. The short length means they're easy to seat and when you press down real hard you don't risk slipping/twisting the head out and stripping the screw. Lifesaver.

[@ShredBoyz]

You aren’t lying Seth! Those Pedros levers are super nice!

[@Driver8takeabreak]

Agree. I've had about 6 different levers over the years and the Pedros are the best. Most durable. I've cracked steel-cored levers, but have yet to break a Pedro's.

[@ShredBoyz]

@@Driver8takeabreak Lol. Ya man they are super durable. Super nice to have on hand for a flat while riding too.

[@onebackzach]

On the off chance that you see this, thanks so much for donating the funds from the Orange P7 to the Bogue Chitto trails. I just got back from riding them, and it's easily the best trail system in south Louisiana. We don't have a lot of trails here, so being able to ride well planned trails in an area that actually has sizable hills is great.

[@darakwhitson3933]

6" crescent wrench is probably one of my favorite tools to use. It is small enough to use for most projects , but still big enough to take off a set of rims

[@aayush7645]

A decade ago if someone told me that I'd enjoy watching a montage of product reviews this much, I wouldn't have believed the person at all. I mean I remember getting pissed at product advertisements on TV. I may not probably end up using any of the tools but just the sheer craftsmanship in editing the video and how Seth describes his relationship with the tools make these videos quality content. By itself a plastic mallet means nothing in fact we see tools like these on Amazon and think what the heck does this even do, Seth makes the tools living-breathing characters. I really enjoy these videos. Please keep up the good work.

[@jasonlee2299]

Ohh I like pushing wood glue in with the air compressor! I'm saving that one!

[@MTBradley]

Same here. Hadn't thought of that one, but it's genius!

[@nateassa222]

My favorite is the park derailleur hanger straightener because i am so relieved to have it every time and its also saved me about 200 dollars so far

[@RickyHolton]

Love everything Knipex makes, I don’t have a lot to compare to but their Wire rope cutter is fantastic for cables/housing. The other bigtime winner is the Cannellock WideAzz wrench (8”). A quality adjustable wrench is just so handy. The jaws aren’t too thick too so it’s more useful than a lot of other wide mouthed wrenches.

[@SloaneDalmer]

+1 for the greasy toothbrush! I love them for both cleaning/distributing grease. Works like a charm

[@joefinning1075]

Literally watching this on the way back from buying a new wrench.

[@snoopy10411]

Loving the Pedro's tyre levers. Had mine for decades now and still going strong. My favourite tool is my Dremel 3000, useful for all sorts of jobs, drilling out frame stops to run full cable housing from shifter to mech, cleaning up rusty looking bolts, deburring stuff, cutting hydraulic hoses cleanly and accurately etc.. And probably second is my bench vice.

[@junti5797]

I love using that park tool tork wrench the one that’s a T and you can adjust to newton meters so fun to use.

[@webarelygettinby]

As a dentist I would recommend only using a new tooth brush as your grease brush. If you use an old one (even if you clean it super well) there will still be tiny abrasive particles (from toothpaste) stuck in the bristles that would not be very nice on bike components.

[@SeatTimeClips]

Was that "kitchen draw"?

[@cncmillman]

1. Campagnolo tire levers best I’ve used. Tossed all my old ones including pedros 2. For zip ties just use straight toenail clippers

[@SelfMade464]

My favorite tool is a set of Knipex needle nose pliers. I keep them in my nightstand I use them so mush

[@pauls3616]

My favourite tool right now is the Milwaukee air pump with a presta adapter from presta cycle. It is easy to use and I like that it will stop inflating at a set pressure. Thanks for the video.

Got myself an old Marin Bear Valley SE (1993) in semi good shape, for 30$ last week. So far I fixed the shifters and changed the chain and tires. Got a few thing to do, to restore it, but since yesterday its ready to ride, and it feels amazing for such an old bike. Your Videos about "what to do if you lack of the tool xy" helped me a lot. But if I gonna stick with that hobby, I gonna get some special tools over time. Thanks for inspiring me.

[@moonoramaVR]

Video idea: 100 vs 130 vs 150, vs 180 mm fork travel on Berm Peak, going up and down. Basically a comparison of the pros and cons of each travel level.

[@motov8-garage832]

One of my favorite tools for bikes has got to be hex driver sockets. After growing up using regular little L shaped Allen wrenches (even with mini braker bars for leverage sometimes lol ) I got a set of 1/4 & 3/8 metric hex sockets years ago, put them on any ratchet i want and they've been fantastic!.

[@Gary_Harlow]

Just love this channel😍

[@dinadeira]

An electric screwdriver has to be one of the best tool purchases I've ever made! I tend to spend hours at a time working on my car or bicycle. With so many repetitive turning motions, I started to develope carpal tunnel syndrome. I got an electric screwdriver from harbor freight on sale for like $5, and it has been a lifesaver for my hands! Its small size and light weight make it very maneuverable and easy to use. It is often times straight up faster than working by hand. Highly recommend everyone get one even if its just a cheap one from harbor freight! (Sidenote, there are socket adapter bits that let you turn nuts and bolts too)
