      Long hemostat forceps are pretty useful for picking up cables and hoses lost in a frame 😜 I have an assortment I got from my grandpa, he was a surgeon but you can find them used for cheap...
      *The ones with ratchets are pretty useful.

      Breaker bar. Formerly used a ratchet with an aluminum seat post slid over the handle. Now I have a real one and it’s fantastic.

      He had big shoes to fill, but they fit him well, Owen walks just fine 😂 👍

    Love the cameraman joke around the tire pressure gauge, zooming in on the flat tire 😆

    • @OwenBikeNerd
      @OwenBikeNerd 6 місяців тому

      Not so much flat - just low pressure!

    RC tools were the best kept secret 😅
    Best wire cutter ever, my favorite bike tool.
    Knipex 95 62 190.
    So satisfying

    Rubber mallet, because sometimes parts and occasionally people need some kinetic persuasion

    • @SeanMather
      @SeanMather 6 місяців тому +1

      Ah yes, the ole problem solver! Mine as well. Nothing like some percussive maintenance to fix an issue. 🔨

    • @louisgordon4388
      @louisgordon4388 6 місяців тому

      Rubber mallets, for when you need to hit something hard, gently.

    Torque wrench and bike specifc driver set. I need to either pickup the maintenance book or park tools blue book to get more comfortable doing my own work.

    • @OwenBikeNerd
      @OwenBikeNerd 6 місяців тому

      The maintenance book is genuinely great - well worth a purchase!

    Respect on Knipex stuff. Here where I'm from, the price is comparable to Park, yet the Knipex stuff is so much nicer and more solid

  • @james2tallG

    the mechanic in me is watching this with an open mouth smile and glazed over eyes

    • @gmbn

    @shafiqjan1474 6 місяців тому

    My Felco cutters are among my favorites, also my DT tensionmeter & Spike wrench and of course all my Knipex goodies.
    Oops, forgot my EM torque wrench ❤

    What's the leather punch/hole punch tool used for? Saw it in one of the tool boxes... ?

    • @natgeoba7377
      @natgeoba7377 6 місяців тому

      I think mostly for cutting holes in the number plate before they were solid. I still use mine for XCO plates

    What do they use the knipex parallels for. I have a set, and they're really handy. I can't really see a use for them on a bike though. Maybe the big set for use with bb tools.

    • @tjp148
      @tjp148 6 місяців тому

      You can adjust them to clamp a wide range of parallel flats on hexes, you can grip brake rotors with them and straighten them, you can use it as a makeshift vice in a pinch.
