  He mentions passing them down to his kids so much. I have to imagine when his kids grow up, they're each going to get multiple bike tool kits

  Moral of the story with any tools: Start with the basics and build out as needed over time... 👍

  My usual philosophy with tools is buy cheap ones and replace the ones that break with high quality ones since you used them more often.

  8 kits?! Nearly 40 minutes? No Brompton?! <br>This is my Super Bowl.

  i used to be a mechanic for pro teams years ago, now that I&apos;m buying my own tools i have a complete mix of the best tools for myself from quite a few manufacturers, lezyne, shimano, park tool and topeak,after watching this very well put together video i can&apos;t help think these tool &quot;kits&quot; are generally more expensive than individually bought tools for your own needs, its strange to me how nobody ever promotes or even talks about Shimano&apos;s cable cutters that are, in my experience the best on the market by a long stretch, i popped into the bike shop i used to work in when 14 years old to see how everyone was after 30 years and they were still using the same pair of shimano cable cutters i was using when i worked there, still sharp, still as good as the day they were made, buy cheap tools, buy twice or three times, you&apos;ve been warned 🤣

  Please do a &quot;Bike Tool Kit Improvement Hack&quot; video. &nbsp;You made your kit work by adding your own wrap container. Using a heat gun, velcro straps, magnets, etc. to make the blow molded cases or wraps work better. You have made cheaper tools work better, do it for whole kits. Good housing cutters bring everyone joy, I cut extra scrap pieces just to get that fix! Thanks again!

  As someone who rides a bike with a freewheel &amp; does their own maintenance the inclusion of a breaker bar is sooo dope and something everyone should have in their tool kit... though I personally enjoy my random seat post I use as a cheater bar.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BTF6aUpgW4&amp;t=347">5:47</a> I use that park multitool more then anything else I own. I&apos;ve even stripped full bikes with it. I enjoy tossing it in my pocket between uses and never needing to clean up tools, never needing to look for a certain size, I love that multitool. Comes with me on every ride, I love that thing.

  Was a mechanic for many years. I collected some of my favorite tools over the years. A tool must do the job well without fail and not damage the bike. Many of the tools in the review are very low quality. Two sided spoke wrenches tend to strip out nipples. Allen wrenches made from softer metals will strip your bolts. Pedro&apos;s makes the best cable cutter. There is no 8mm hex wrench long enough to remove some cranks. I use a socket adapter / impact/ breaker bar for this purpose. &nbsp;I prefer folding keys over individual allens because they don&apos;t get lost. There are not many places u need a ball end (exp bottle cages ).

  That park tool kit should&apos;ve got a zero for value, the price on that is ridiculous for what you get. Park&apos;s quality is all over the map too depending on the tool
