@TonyHob mine as well. I have added a few more slightly better quality tools to my collection. I have a couple of Park Tools( chain breaker and wear gauge) if they were reasonably priced but Ice tools are good also. I buy tools for function and overall finished quality. I'm no Park Tool only snob. lol Brand doesn't matter if there is a cheaper option that works better.
I would have just said "this tool does something", "oh, this other tool does something else" and I haven't a clue what everything is for! Great review!
Fantastic review. I'm just getting into MTB'ing and Man, I thought the cost of the bike alone was a challenge. More fool me. 😂 I'll definitely look into grabbing this kit, as well as a mini pump for convenience. Thank you for the thorough review. It really helps.
It's always nice to watch a video & get confirmation on a product from someone not affiliated w/ said company, it's exactly what I needed to know thx man nice work
Excellent Review my friend..! 🙏 Was going for the BIKE HAND brand tools before checking this video out..! This seems to be a perfect Starter Tool Set for the money...🤔 Thanks for your detailed review my man...🙏
You are right, great job 👍, great video, I have been debating on which one to get 🤔, and I keep coming back to this same one, thanks for helping me make up my mind.
thank for that, I just got this kit to bring with me on mobile kids bike repair, that just exploded in my neighbehood. i usto work in a bike shop 1975 -80. just before disk brakes and the Conindale, panasonics. thanks
just ordered the last one. thanks it looks like all i need to replace the drive train on a giant bike. $400 for a chain and cassette front sprocket..unreal.
Thank u!! These vids are everywhere for auto mechanics but so hopeful for vids like this. Thank I so much! I know I can go buy park for too much money. Makes me wonder which amazon brands are good. But I’m not wanting to buy 100 kits trying to save money, I’d spend more money and possibly strike out on all
Thanks Tony. Just ordered the same toolkit. I have been looking and this seemed to be a good compromise. I have a few Park tools but they are very proud of their tools!
@@nogoogle6349 this is a very complete set, there’s another set on Amazon that is basically the same but rebranded and cheaper. I believe I put the link in the description.
I’m new to cycling. It would of been great to show how the tools work on actual bike parts. I didn’t understand when you described how they work. Maybe another video down the pipeline?
Great review! They all look durable . Are they all still working fine, do you still find them useful? I like your bike holder idea which is really easy to make. 'Got any new hack or tools yet?
Thanks for the informative video. I just bought a cyclocross bike with tubeless tyres, any chance you could do a video abought replacing tubeless tyres? Thanks
I think there's a couple of different ones in my how to playlist. It's rather straight forward. The only thing you have to be careful with is that the drive side is reverse thread and how the spacers go if you are using DUB or hollowtech II th-cam.com/video/0AumVNKwUOQ/w-d-xo.html
I cover some BB info and have some how-to's on removing and replacing them. Check out my playlist and see what you think. Thanks for the feedback. th-cam.com/play/PLX6zWX0qiG-CocKt99Ely1o83MPO8lv1b.html
Bro, nice video. After viewing your video I have made purchased in Amazon. May I ask, if you can show us how to replace Crankset using this tool kit.? TIA.😆
At 3:40 you can see hoe to change it from external bearing to tapered square applications and the use is the same as the Park tool in this video: th-cam.com/video/_Xy6Pv12ez4/w-d-xo.html
I got an old Walmart type of bikes in need of some heavy refurbishing. Those kinds of bikes are like $100 or so.. not sure if I should invest in a bicycle tool set for $80 when I could just go and buy a Walmart bike...
If I’ll be mainly working on BMX bikes, you think this kit is still worth it? New to maintenance on bikes but want to have what I need? Is this more than I’ll need, any suggestions? Thanks in advance
Can you recommend a bike repair kit for someone who is an automotive technician that already has a lot of tools? I don’t want to buy a bunch of clutter Lol
As long as you are using all modern parts all you would really need in addition is a cable cutter and maybe a torque wrench. Also, if you are installing a SRAM DUB BB you will need that specific tool. Otherwise it’s a very complete kit.
@@coldcrush1 I believe that one has a SEALED square tapered bottom bracket so this kit will have the BB tool for it. Make sure you take the cap off the end of the crank puller for square tapered
The B twin looks legit! seems good but I don't have one to say for sure. It would be a looooooooong video if I use every one. I have used it and it is really good. Not as nice as my Park tools but for the price it is a good buy.
There’s several different ones out there but they tend to cost more than a new crankset. Heres a good article from Park Tool www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/pedal-bushing-repair-kit-procedure
Just wondering... do you own Park Tools brand in all the tools you use? Reason for asking is so that I can see how you would compare these very budget kits compare to somewhat of a standard tool sets from Park Tools. As if reviewer can't compare to somewhat of a high quality tools to compare to, review would be kind of not as useful. Thanks for the video.
Did you watch the video? Just curious because at 2:00 I show a Park Tool chainlink tool and compare it to the one in the kit. I later show a Park BB tool and also compare it to the one in the kit at 6:00 I have, and use, Park tools that I bought over 20 years ago. If you watch some of my other videos you would see plenty of them. Some videos where you can see some of my other Park Tools are linked below. The first link is actually a video where I review another budget kit and compare some of those tools directly to the Park Tool equivalent also. I really think you will enjoy that one because I do exactly what you are suggesting in that video too: th-cam.com/video/pN37BBZCYWU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/qk8Ks9AO164/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xMpnsyxSlX0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/KflvjwnG_5s/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/_Xy6Pv12ez4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/0KXv9CtoBcE/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching. Let me know if that makes you feel a little more confident about my tool review
Why do I feel like my wife and I can rent a bike or borrow a bike or check out friends bikes quickly to check something out on theirs or ours and ours always does hard shifts or what people say are ghost shifts where it shifts when we don’t use our thumb to shift. All other bikes we are on never do it. Our bikes are newish ( 2 months) and hers is $4;000 and mine is 2,000$. Very frustrated and confused
If you bought them at a bike shop they should tune it for free. If not check out my video on how to adjust the derailleur. Another thing is to make sure the cable housings are properly seated in their stops and that the derailleur hanger is straight.
Tony's Hobbies interesting. That’s what they looked like. I’ll be buying this set anyhow. Thank u fir yiur time and research !! And replies. Love your vids
Freewheel removal tools are brand and type specific so you have to look up the right one for your particular freewheel. Having a random model in the kit wouldn’t help.
Really? I mention the price in the first 9 seconds of the video AND there is a link to it in the description AND it's pinned in the comments. For F's sake! LOL!! (it's cheaper now than when I made the video too!) Well it WAS in the pinned comment. I pinned yours instead so people can get a laugh...
That dumbbell looking multi-faced box wrench at 8:25 is a really cheap piece of crap tool I used to see at JC Penny's, Sears, and Schwinn bike sections and is made of garbage metal. Any kit with one of those should be thrown right into the trash.
Since posting this video they now have a NEW, VERY complete 27 piece tool kit that includes cable cutters, a torque wrench and a chain wear guide: amzn.to/3WXUNfW

But thats only 26 pieces... What is the 27th piece?
It’s nice to listen to someone speak about bicycle tools that knows what he is talking about.

That is the most complete tool kit you can buy. It is a best buy in my book. No other kit compares to it.
Mine is holding up great. It’s really been a good tool set.

Thanks for the great review. Do you have a how to video for changing a bottom bracket?

th-cam.com/video/0AumVNKwUOQ/w-d-xo.html
Looks like a good kit. I will get this one. Is there any other tools you purchased to augment the kit?
Cable cutters is what I can think of. If you have a SRAM DUB BB the tool is different too
The Duralast 41 piece is better and its also made in taiwan. Its for 59.99 and right now theres a $5 off coupon.
How about bottom bracket, acceptable play, refurb, maintenance. Tell me about the options to spend and to save.

I got an old Walmart type of bikes in need of some heavy refurbishing. Those kinds of bikes are like $100 or so.. not sure if I should invest in a bicycle tool set for $80 when I could just go and buy a Walmart bike...
To be honest the older cheaper bikes do not need most of the specialized tools in the kit. Basic mechanic tools will do.
@@TonyHob still need a square bb remover , cassette ?
@@sdqsdq6274 this kit works with sealed square BB, it also has a cassette remover
If I’ll be mainly working on BMX bikes, you think this kit is still worth it? New to maintenance on bikes but want to have what I need? Is this more than I’ll need, any suggestions? Thanks in advance
You probably don’t need a kit like this for BMX. You are better off buying the individual tools that are a more specialized towards BMX
Can you recommend a bike repair kit for someone who is an automotive technician that already has a lot of tools? I don’t want to buy a bunch of clutter Lol
Most pf the tools in this kit are bike specific. I have a LOT of automotive tools and still find this kit very useful.
I'm building a bike from just the frame. Would this or the tool kits you mentioned have everything I need to complete the job?
As long as you are using all modern parts all you would really need in addition is a cable cutter and maybe a torque wrench. Also, if you are installing a SRAM DUB BB you will need that specific tool. Otherwise it’s a very complete kit.
Does a 1995 Cannondale R400 with a Shimano RX100 crankset count as modern? 🤷♂️ Thanks for the quick reply
@@coldcrush1 I believe that one has a SEALED square tapered bottom bracket so this kit will have the BB tool for it. Make sure you take the cap off the end of the crank puller for square tapered
Have you ever used any tools from Unior? How do they compare to Park Tools? What manufacturer competes strongly against Park Tools?
Have not tried Unior. Park Tools are hard to beat. Some of my Park’s are over 20 years old. I think Pedros might compete with them.
Can this work for mountain bikes? Thanks for any info...
yes, that's what I use it for. I use it in several of my how-to videos. I sold my road bike years ago LOL
