  CM originally stood for ChainMate when we introduced the CM-1 in 1986, but Chain Massager has a nice ring to it 🤔

  The knobby knife was really intended for motocross knobbies that get worn down rounded really fast on rocks, and square knobbies give much more traction in mud and sand. It can extend the useful life of the tire. It&apos;s not that motorcycle tires are more expensive, &nbsp;they&apos;re just much much harder to change.

  The tyre knob cutter is mainly used for dirt bikes, the knobs are alot bigger so tyres last alot longer but the knobs round off pretty quickly so it helps to keep them feeling new.

  The third hand is amazing for getting zip ties really really tight.

  I&apos;m curious as to how the knobby knife would have handled those hairs on that tire a couple videos ago.

  The third hand tool actually has a much more practical application. When you replace housing, it can be hard to get new ferrules seated all the way. Customer picks up their bike, shifts it, ferrules settle on there more, and now the bike shifts like garbage and the customer is unhappy. This is what a lot of mechanics call &quot;cable stretch&quot; because it makes it sound like it isn&apos;t their fault. The third hand let&apos;s you put tension on the housing to seat those ferrules completely so you know it is going to keep shifting well when it gets picked up and ridden. I use it on every new bike I build and every time I replace housing or ferrules.
