You're getting fancy with that cap on the PVC pipe. I use a scrap wood and a rubber mallet. I have two sizes of PVC on hand for crown races: one for straight steerers and one for tapered. For the chain whip - I 100% agree. I had a cheap one bend under torque and become useless.
I've purchased a Decathlon cassette tool and will never go back to the classic style of chain whip. With the design and sturdiness of the tool I don't think I will ever have too either.
Oh man what great timing!! Just dipping my toe into some home maintenance and got a 10.3 because I saw it in another one of your videos. Glad to hear you love it. I was debating between it and a bike hand stand. Feels like a buy once cry once situation
I quite like my feedback sports stand. Moral of the story is expect to pay at least 200 for a good (new) stand. The tool tray does cost extra though, I bought it over the park tool purely because it folds up easily and has three legs versus the two on the cheaper park tool stands. It does however sometimes wanna tip depending on how level your ground is or how you have the bike angled.
That’s the one thing I like about the Park Tool, stable, even with an emtb in it. Its folds up pretty easy. Mine always stays up but my buddy has one and he folds his up each time.
Only after publishing did I realize the price of the bike tool torque set is about double what I quoted in the video. Many apologies.
1/4" drive can be bought off Temu for about $20 US, 2-20nm with attachments👍
