The best budget bike tool kit | Bikehand

[@dusty_hoods]

For 200 bucks this box is awesome! I always buy tools. Every time a new problem appears I search for educational videos and get tools I need. And I do this because it's faster than giving my bike to mechanics and waiting... and I can't wait because I need my bike everyday. Most problems can be solved very quickly. Sure some complex tasks left for the bike shop. And it's always good to have a buddy mechanic you can reach out to ;)

Right on!

I love good, expensive tools. My advice for all of this would be to buy a kit like this. Then, if you use a tool a lot or even wear it out, replace it with a high quality version. I've done this with all tools in my life and you end up with a good balance of having everything whilst not spending thousands on tools you barely ever use.

Thanks for the tip!

Decent set for $200. I would hate the case. It would require I have a second box for the tools I buy separately.

I use a lot of their tools, too.

This torque wrench is length-dependent. You have to hold it on the handle if you want the correct torque out of it. "Why GRIP Position on Torque Wrenches MATTERS!" is the video you wanna watch.

Solid advice!

@@RomansDowntime you're welcome, I learned about it way later than I should have.

Where is the box sold?

[@CnyMTB]

I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to cable cutters. I need the old hozan style cutter which is the same style jagwire uses. Park tools cable cutters are garbage by the way. The only necessary park tool is the 50th anniversary 3-way.

[@RomansDowntime]

I hear you, I don’t mind an expensive tool here and there if I can use it regularly. Or if i need precise care with a task.

[@LvanderM]

I buy tools as I need them. And then I buy quility over cheap price

[@markifi]

best on the account of it being the only budget option? the tools look bad

[@RomansDowntime]

Never bought a tool because of looks. But to each their own 👍

[@davidduma7615]

Use the tools to help your friend but DO NOT loan tools especially something expensive like Park Tools.

[@RomansDowntime]

Lol, depends on the kinda friend I guess. For me at least.

No offence and if I'm wrong and you're really really clean you've never used the on screen tool kit I apologise they are so clean no dust in the horrible blow mould case.And don't buy a full overpriced kit just buy the tools as you need them and build up a kit you will use forever.

[@RomansDowntime]

@@paulbry754 No offense taken. I like to think if I take good care of my tools, they’ll take care of me. But I only use this on bike maintenance, so they don’t get used for anything else. So it’s easy to take care, clean, and put away.
