Gauteng shops with a wide range of Park Tool

[DR ◣◢]

Struggling to find what I need online. Common size Y and T wrenches are out of stock or not stocked. 

 

Can anyone recommend a shop? 

 

Looking for: 
T wrench complete set or individuals that make up the 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10mm offering

Y wrench in 4, 5, 6 and 2, 2.5, 3

Allen key set with the ball end on the bottom. 

Valve tool

 

Or... what are the alternative brands to look at?

If there is something i learned over years of working on bikes, cheap tools break bikes.

Basic sizes of tools I need are out of stock. More likely to get it at a store.

most people are sold out on basic tools, all waiting for shipments to arrive.

Yep, Cajees Boksburg has a pretty decent range of Park Tools stuff, and you will always get it at a better price then what it is marked on the shelf

I need a tool .... big shop does not have stock .... take my details, will check with their suppliers and get back to me ....

 

Pop in at my LBS (Giant Durbanville) .... Julien quickly go on line and check with their suppliers, give me a price, I nod, they put it in their delivery for Monday .... tool picked up, bike fixed, still had no feedback from the big shop ....

 

 

Moral of the story, build a relation with your LBS ... they all have access to the same suppliers, just some actually willing to assist their client.

Park tool are imported by Cape Cycle Systems, so any shop that sells SRAM/Rockshox, Camelback etc will be able to get anything Park Tool at the drop of a hat.

 

It's as simple as placing the order.

 

If CCS don't have in stock, they are often able to phone the shops in your area THEY supplied to check availability.

 

It just involves the LBS to

A. have a good credit relationship with CCS and

 

B. picking up the phone and asking them for your order.

 

I think you will find the biggest obstacle is A............

Not at all married to Park or Urion etc. 

 

I was actually considering getting the T handle wrenches from Mastercraft. 

 

Will look into King Tony.

For quality tools in Randburg  go to JKM  Industrial.  The have a range of quality brands.  The Tool Shop is another, they stock King Tony.  For Chinese you can go to Aardendorf.  All the above in or near Strydom Park.
