Hamstring Posted October 29, 2019 Share nice, have you got a bigger medical box for the Landy? couldn't resist      This is my bike toolbox, big enough for just about anything I could need, small enough to chuck in the back of the Landy (that has a toolbox many times bigger ) if we are doing an adventure somewhere remote.

DJR Posted October 29, 2019 Share nice, have you got a bigger medical box for the Landy? couldn't resist   I do indeed, mostly full of Gedore tools, extra oil for motor and gearboxes, extra brake and steering fluid. Leak stop, gaffer tape, epoxy glue, cordless drill, pop rivets, tyre levers the size of your arm, tube, patches, roll of wire, cable ties, spare belt, spare filters.........too much to list, I don't want to break the internet! pista, Hairy, LBKloppers and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Snap-on is over priced. King Tony is another really good brand of tools. The one tool I still want are some ratcheting spanners........

DJR Posted October 29, 2019 Share I fixed that for you. At one stage I had 2 of them. Even my friends joked about my "spare". Still regret selling the "spare" though  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 29, 2019 Share A simple tool I keep in my back pack for commuting on a SS that used nuts vs a QR....the swivel head is the bee's knees. Inherited this spanner, so no idea RE age of make.  DJR, BigDL, Long Wheel Base and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson Posted October 29, 2019 Share I Have a couple of weaknesses and one of them is for quality tools.I Have two toolboxes but this one has the tools I use more frequently and sees most of the action everyday.My toolbox contains a mix of mostly Stahlwille, Gedore, Knipex and Wurth.My bicycle specific tools are mostly Park Tool with a couple of others as well.I Started buying my tools when I started working (I Was 15 at the time) so I've got a 23 year old collection that is still growing every now and then.Only two things on bicycle I don't do myself, suspension and wheel building.
