spunkey_monkey_boy Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) do not buy this set, i've used one and the quality is awful, out of that set i've destroyed the tyre levers, cone spanners, adjustable spanner and screw driver and the rest of its pretty poo too!!! buy park ;) oh yeah and the bloody chain whip snapped today (Y) Edited May 6, 2005 by spunkey_monkey_boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go on for agess but i cant be arsed because am of to bed (Y) ← haha Whos alan keys? No seriously, i think that that tool kit is too expensive, by a good set of allen keys(10quid) and a b tool, crank extractor, cassette tool, chain tool and a chain whip, oh yeh and a pedal spanner, and although these might be expensive, the tools will be of better quality than the one's in the tool kit, therefore lasting longer and working more effiently :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Papasnap Maher Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 who ever uses a chain whip (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cook Posted May 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Ok. Cheers. I will probably just buy the bit sepratly and get some good quality park tools as i need them (Y) Becuase i dont want the tools snapping on me. But i am not going to be using the tools allll the time so i am not sure if they would ware down or snap. But i will see what happens a :P I'm not very good descion maker :) Cheers Anyway ,Chris ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 who ever uses a chain whip :- ← Do you never take your cassette off? Or maybe you can use it for your self. (Y)" I think they are pretty cheap and nasty and you may end up hurting yourself and destroying everything if you buy them tools. As spunkey money said. Phil.

Chris Cook Posted May 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 I am of to the shop soon and i will buy it and tell you what its like.

Tom Booth Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) They said if anything brakes or i am not satisfied they will give money back or a new tool. (Y) ← Yeah but what is the point in that, admitadley youll get a new tool, but every time it brakes youll have to go to the shop to get a new one, just buy some decent tools in the first place and youll never have to arse around replacing poor quality tools Edited May 7, 2005 by Tom Booth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cook Posted May 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Good point. Does any body no if this tool it is worth it. Toolkit Is that most of the tools i would need and is it good quality ? Chris (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
