Your most used tool (don't be filthy!)

[gymwitch]

Until i get my bike my most used tool is my leatherman but when i eventually get my bike it will probably be the socket set ive nicked off the hubster but he doesnt know so sshhhhh.

Having a lesson on a grown up bike on monday !!! Ready for when i get my bike. Did i mention im waiting to get my bike?!?!?

I bought a Leatherman Surge last year. If my Wife ever finds out how much it cost I'll be in deep shit

Arent they fab hubs broke a bit off the very tip of one of the screwdriver heads. He sent it in for a general service and a new screwdriver bit, they sent him a free brand new one back

That's what you get for a 25 year warranty.

Are you getting a "big girls bike" [mention]gymwitch[/mention] lol.

For a very little money a JIS screwdriver can be bought from Amazon or the bay and I would strongly recommend you get one as using phillips or pozidrive will cost you fastenings and cause growling lol.

Cheers

Here's a top tip. If you've got the factory tool kit that comes with the bike there's a JIS screwdriver in there

Very true [mention]WD-40[/mention] however the handles are sometimes rubbish as they often house a reversable screwdriver and lack the strength of a solid Tbar driver with interchangeable bits.

If anyone is bothered I can photograph the one I mean as it was very cheap and so very useful

I've heard these Vessel JIS screwdrivers are very good quality and reasonably priced. They're also impact drivers which is a bonus

I have these screwdrivers and they are really good

Although one of them is getting a little worn now! but its served me well and being well used

[Gerontious]

I got a set from Amazon. They were on offer a couple of weeks ago, always worth checking.

[Stu]

This is the set I got!

Although you don't need the slotted ones but the rest are a must

£75 for a set of screwdrivers.....more money than sense

[Tiggie]

My Wife said something similar when I spent £250 on my last drill

Sealey do these for £16 at moment. Looks like they'd be worth a punt

Hmmmm I just been looking at a welding mask which cost more than the welder..

[Tiggie]

I just bought a cheap £20 mask from eBay.It'll do me for the amount of welding I do.

Ive been making do with one of these for the last year or so Feels so good to have both hands free

You are getting 9 quality screwdrivers for that price. No more chewed up screws and they should last a lifetime for an average diy home mechanic. It's a one off investment that what you have to tell yourself

Quality costs

[Tiggie]

Also when you do get chewed screws from people trying in the past these make light work of removing them too
