$120.00 for that? Dude you can get a very nice, made in America, 1/4" torque wrench with an extension and loads of bits for that. No thank you sir.

I already have an extensive tool collection which has been growing as I need a tool for the job I'm doing. Nearly all my tools have been from Park Tool or specialized machine shops over the last 40 years. Some of the tools being produced in these modern times are just gimmicks that I see in build videos. I will always do my own maintenance and repairs because it's part of the fun of owning bikes. I work on a lot of other peoples bikes too and I get paid in bottles of wine. I like wines and its cool to get to taste all sorts of brands for basically free.

will wrench for wine...keep on mansplaining Charlie. Nothing like the joy of fixing yours, or another persons bike with your own hands. When I fix bikes for the little girls next door to us they give me the best payment any dad could ask for. A sincere and grateful "thank you".

Why not get a park tool socket and bit set? They have more sockets and bits than wera
@UmunhumCycleworks5 ай бұрын
I find that the Wera bits are just a bit more precise and I never round anything off with them!

Nice review, but the background noise (music?) was not only unnecessary, but annoying. Lose it! The downside of this excellent tool is that most modern bike work requires torque wrenches. You're out of luck if the tool you have can't do that.

So, how is Abbey going to keep out giant neighbor to the far east from copying this awesome tool and selling it for $9.00?
@UmunhumCycleworks6 күн бұрын
They probably won't, but anyone who values what Abbey brings to the table wouldn't be buying a knockoff anyway.
@BrianRPaterson6 ай бұрын
Nice looking obviously quality stuff. But you certainly payfor it. Personally, I prefer dedicated keys rather than multi-bits, because the bit socket on the tool is usually a bit bulky, which can stop you from accessing bolts in tight spaces (e.g. clamp bolts on SRAM brifters). Also, there are no bits to inevitably go missing. On the downside, individual tools take up more space in your kit, but that doesnt matter for shop tools.

Abbey is awesome. Most of my stuff is from them. Park Tool is no where near as good. Their stuff is tighter fitting and has better purchase onto components. I’ve never scratched or damaged the anodizing on my bike parts using Abbey. However I do love the T-handle spinning Hex & Torx made by Park Tool. My go to L shaped Hex keys are Wera.
@UmunhumCycleworks5 ай бұрын
Yup! I have the t-handle hex from Park, love them. Wera Hex-Plus, love them. Abbey, love them!

Just another company jumping on the boutique bandwagon trying to make mega bucks, I'm afraid Don't get me wrong, they appear nicely made looking on their site

They have expanded their product line, but Abbey Tools primary USP is/was tools for traveling race mechanics. So they focused on lightweight and compact designs. That is why there are titanium versions of some of the tools in their catalog; not necessarily to be Gucci, but to save weight.
@UmunhumCycleworks5 ай бұрын
I would generally agree with some other brands, but almost every pro mechanic on the Pro Tour speaks highly of Abbey and their quality, so I imagine they must be doing something right.
@lefthorse16 ай бұрын
Ok , but that tool its thick , there is some screws on the bikes that can be reached only with thin tools , like the brake caliper lower screw on the TRP brakes

Isn't this xenophobic to view US made products as better in any way?
@UmunhumCycleworks6 ай бұрын
Xenophobia is a fear of foreigners, which I am not expressing, nor condoning. Wanting to spend my money in a way that benefits the local economy and that rewards countries with at least somewhat fair labor laws instead of modern day wage slavery is not xenophobic.
