just received SBK1 and it is perfect, no more vise and sockets destroying bearings also purchased the bearing extractor hammer, thanks to Calvin great stuff
Really glad to be now living in this golden age of cotter-less cranks! I remember having to drill one out - hacksaw off the nut and the end of the cotter-pin then drill it without damaging either the BB shaft or the crank.
I have to say what limited tools I have from ParkTools they are always of the best quality and never fail. Always great to hear a little history all the best Andy
Enjoyed the old tools segment. Old bikes always seem to require three or four hands to work on! I remember all those odd tools that were just for adjusting brakes. Maybe in twenty years, there will be only one size for all the bolts on your bike.
A very long time ago when I learned to fix bikes as a kid, I would have killed for that cotter-pin tool! I only had my dad's big old hammer and a punch, that was a struggle to use as a 9 year old kid...... Really enjoyed the history lesson. :-)
I would love to apply for the grant but I don't think I can justify being a community as I am just a family mechanic. I only service a total of 12 bikes between 2 families. Mainly kids bikes. But thanks for all your videos on repairs. They've really helped me learn.
I'd love to see an upgrade kit. My wife got me the SK4 home starter kit for a Christmas gift because the AK5 was sold out. It would be great if you had upgrade kits. Please! Think about it.
I always enjoy the "A Look Back / Tools from the Past" segments. One tool that I spotted and don't recognize: What's the deal with the hook spanner that has a keystone-shaped piece bolted to it? Seen at 7:35.
That tool is the HCW-2, manufactured by us up through the year 2000. What you are seeing there is actually a rivet that allows the tool to adjust to different sizes of adjustable bottom bracket lockrings. The other side is a 36mm box end for fixed BB cups, similar to the HCW-4 that we make today. You can see more pictures here: www.bikerecyclery.com/park-tool-hcw-2-bottom-bracket-headset-wrench-35mm-fixed-cup-adjustable-locknut-hook-spanner-discontinued-rare/
We have videos for aligning mechanical and hydraulic disc brake calipers on our disc brake playlist, might that be what you're looking for? th-cam.com/play/PLGCTGpvdT04TW0Qi4wpGxYB2TuzJok9l5.html
@parktool If you use the BBP-AOS kit to take the bearings out you would need to push against the frame if there is no cup pre-installed, this will probably scratch or mark my frame. Is there something that I'm missing, why would I use this method of extraction?
This ultimately depends on the frame design and bottom bracket. The goal is not to have to impact the frame. Some frames have a milled area around the bottom bracket or there is paint but the user would rather risk the paint than the impact.
great video! i would like to see more bike tool history. its very fascinating stuff. on a side note, why is there a a long delay in shipping of park tool tools in the US?
Just like bicycles and components and accessories, our tools are in such high demand right now that it's hard to keep up. And since we supply worldwide to both pro shops and consumers we got slammed from two sides during all the shutdowns. WE're shipping more than ever and doing our best to meet the demand...we promise! Thanks for your patience
Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons we’re not able to sell internationally via our website. For those in the US, the MSK-1 and MSK-2 are available here: www.parktool.com/category/apparel
All of our bike stand have a weight rating on them. That weight rating is for the amount of force being put on the stand. So, say you have a 60lb bike and are putting 40 lbs of pressure on the pedal wrench to remove a pedal. You will want a stand that is rated up to 100lbs. The PCS-4-2 or -1 and the PRS-25 are both rated at 100lbs. If you need more than that one of our professional stands. If 80lbs works then our PCS-10.2 or 9.2 are great options.
I'll stick with my hardware store hack of a rod, washers and my socket set. The key here is that any bearing being removed is gonna get mangled and damaged beyond recognition.
So! With this kit I can do very little and now I need both kits plus another tool to do my entire bike. As a professional automotive technician this seems like selling crap to a manure guy!
How long does it take to pay off a $40,000 alignment machine? Or a $15,000 rolling tool cabinet? Depends on the amount of service a shop is doing? Same applies here.
Just get a cheap basic bike stand from another brand. Then start saving for when that cheap stand breaks, which may take over 10 years or hard wrenching. My cheap stand took about that long for the clamp release threads to wear out, but then I just added washers to shift the threads over and still going strong.
They are 'buy once' tools (e.g. higher quality) since the people who need them use them often and they need to work right every time. If you need a tool that you might use once or twice...then yeah, park tool is not for you in most cases.
Please take the masks off so we can hear you properly! If you have to keep the masks on while filming, then re-do the audio later when alone in a private room with some audio equipment. Videos with audio this bad are intolerable, I gave up part way through.
At first I tought I was watching Project farm... that melody at the begining!

great stuff
Awesome. I loved the history lesson. I could use a cotter pin tool.
We'll keep our eyes peeled for one to send to you. These ones have to stay on our wall :)
me too! i have too many bikes with cottered cranks to count. although i have always got them out one way or another
Really glad to be now living in this golden age of cotter-less cranks!

The BikeSmithDesign cotter press is really really nice if you're serious about needing one.
Great new products, awesome history and Great leadership wearing masks and socially distancing yourselves . Well done Park tool!
I have to say what limited tools I have from ParkTools they are always of the best quality and never fail. Always great to hear a little history all the best Andy
Love looking at the old tools.
Hoping that one day I can have that PCS 12.2 mechanic bike stands and PK-5 Professional Tool Kit for my bicycle repair shop.
I wish I still had my Schwinn Stingray with the banana seat, smooth tires, and nut buster 5 gear shift mounted on the top tube.

I love the Tools from the Past! Keep'em coming.
The improvement to the BBP-1.2 that I would most like to see would be the addition of a 25x37mm drift for standard 6805 bearings.
I'd love to see an upgrade kit. My wife got me the SK4 home starter kit for a Christmas gift because the AK5 was sold out. It would be great if you had upgrade kits. Please! Think about it.
You don't want to know how I've been removing and putting back in my bearings...ahahahahhaha!

@@parktool Oh, cool! Watching that clip again in 4k resolution, I see it now.
Hope I can have those tools for bike..
I wish I have this kind of tools
Please put a vdo on how to manage wheel alignment with disk break

Not sure if it would be a big seller but I would like a version of the single speed spinner sized for bmx wheel nuts
Hello Bonjour les amis , Super ! Thank you ! 👌😊
It's really good for my dream bike

Very nice tools guys....but more important...where can we get those Park Tool branded masks??? 😉
You have to order them form the Park Tool website
@@brickbros211 It seems I can't order on their website from Europe...

Great tools but sadly nothing buy anymore in Norway .
Love the history
Are there bike stands for heavier ebikes like Juicee Hyperscrambler 2?

ill have to sell my kidney or remortgage my house to buy their tool kit
I'll stick with my hardware store hack of a rod, washers and my socket set. The key here is that any bearing being removed is gonna get mangled and damaged beyond recognition.
Can the BBP-AOS be used with the BBP-1 or is it specifically for the BBP-1.2 ??
It will work with the BBP-1. If you have DUB however, you need the drift.
@@parktool is the drift available separately??
It is available separately. Depending on location spare parts availability and access can vary. th-cam.com/video/NyU2T2qcx1g/w-d-xo.html&t
Pena no tener el dinero para tener el taller de ustedes😥
two men with the symbol of N.W.O.
pandoras three boxes ..want
those 3 sets are over $1000 btw
So! With this kit I can do very little and now I need both kits plus another tool to do my entire bike. As a professional automotive technician this seems like selling crap to a manure guy!

anyone know where to get a cheep park took bicycle stand, using my basket ball hoop as a bike stand is getting kind of annoying

My cheap stand took about that long for the clamp release threads to wear out, but then I just added washers to shift the threads over and still going strong.
So basically if I buy one of your tools it will last for ever but the standards will ALWAYS change 😂
Why ist so expensive?
They are 'buy once' tools (e.g. higher quality) since the people who need them use them often and they need to work right every time. If you need a tool that you might use once or twice...then yeah, park tool is not for you in most cases.

Masks?
You guys can do better than this! You guys are supposed to be the best in bike tools.
