    I have several tools from Abbey and I'm a big fan, so nice to see the company

      About a week after I recorded this video, Abbey moved to their new premises about 1/8 of a mile down the road. May have to record another video later.

    I upgraded all my bike tools to Abbey. My tool box looks high end flex but my bike doesn’t ride any faster. However I was able to install components with more care so there’s no scratches or dents on any component.

    I've got one of their cassette lockring tools, is a lovely thing.

      Ditto, I have the Crombie Tool, Chainwhip, and I added the HAG and a Ti Hammer during this visit. Best tools on the market!

      @@GravelCyclist It's a shame their tools aren't more readily available here in the UK. Sigma sports stocks some. I don't mind paying extra for a tool that lasts years, appreciate the workmanship having watched your video.

    really liked this video. I've never heard of Appey tools, going to check out their website now.

      They are well known amongst world tour mechanics. Wait till you see the prices...

      IMHO, worth every dollar.

    I have one of their hanger tools. It’s well worth your while to check a new hanger after installation as my last brand new hanger was off true. Very well made bit of kit.

      100%. Bikes can be banged up in shipping, all manner of things can happen, including a dodgy and new hanger.

    I've always wondered why bicycle tools are so expensive compared to other good tools. Some day, if I want to pay $100 for a hammer, I'll buy it from a bicycle tool company... :-)

      The Ti hammer is so sweet 😄👌
