gummibear Posted February 10, 2021 Share Disclaimer the Metabo socket set is about half the size I was expecting but still very chuffed with it Was delivered 19hrs after I placed the order which is also damn impressive Thanks gummiOh yeah it’s nice and small so gets in to tight spaces like cages quite easily.Good thing is that you don’t have much leverage so harder to strip bolts or crack carbon.

patches Posted February 10, 2021 Share Shot Gummi I'll be ordering myself a set tonight Half the people reading this thread now want that set.... including me! Think they need a BikeHub discount price has just drop to R374could not resist, I ordered a set Dammit! I have fomo now! I can't find these locally in NZ (Metabo isn't very big here. Mostly Makita, Milwaukee and Hikoki/Hitachi) Really good price for a little socket set! Disclaimer the Metabo socket set is about half the size I was expecting but still very chuffed with it Was delivered 19hrs after I placed the order which is also damn impressive Thanks gummi This little set would go nicely in my Kriega Tool Roll. I have a small 1/4" socket set in there, but it gets borrowed from my larger Bahco set, each time I pack for an adventure. It's only a matter of time before I start losing pieces of it A dedicated set would be ideal!

BigDL Posted February 10, 2021 Share This is my business. I run a bike shop. I do all the work myself. And collect deliver bikes myself. It’s a passion and my attention to detail and service are the most important things.

BigDL Posted February 10, 2021 Share I have a tool wall for the "general tools". But as this bike thing grew, so did my collection of tools .... the extra shelf ran out of space quickly, and it was logistically not right .... yada yada ... excuses .... So off to our local tools anonymous meeting at Adendorfs to buy a 7-tier tool trolley .... drawer 1 - basic cycling tools12.jpg drawer 2 - all the extra bits, and various torque wrenches (the two bigger ones are with the general tools)10.jpg I quickly got frustrated with the placement of the lubes and cleaners ... too far away, or in the way .... so a tray was added 13.jpgI feel useless just looking at that organised setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne pudding Mol Posted February 11, 2021 Share My workshop has way to many jobs going on at once to look clean at all. Takes a special kind of dedication to keep them as clean as you guys... Just the sawdust from the boat build is a nightmare, nevermind leaking motorbikes, and the chaos that a home renovation brings... It is so bad I set up a 2nd toolbox inside the pain cave to do bicycle work.This is me - I even started trying to reorganize yesterday and went back to my bike cave where everything is tidy and organized (sort of) BigDL, Hairy and ChrisF 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted February 11, 2021 Share Only learnt this yesterday! Been using one for years!! Life changing when you use it right. I have to get one now. Have bit extensions, but i dont think any of them have the sleeve. also browsing specials etc. for an impact driver. After i watched his video on impact drivers vs normal drivers I'm itching to get one. But the ones I'm seeing are a bit pricey for me right now.
