Seems I've been helping people on the trail with my tools more than I use them myself. Helped an older gentleman yesterday afternoon with a bent front derailleur and his chain all jammed up in it. Second time in a month for this type of assistance.
Got him all straightened out and adjusted his limit screws to boot.. all with one of the best tools you can carry...

He thanked me so many times you'd of thought I saved him and his family from a burning building

I’m getting out of battery repairs and have a grinspector I’ve never setup. I’ll sell it at dealer cost. You’ll need a CA2 or CA3.

1. Wera Hex Plus in stainless
2. Wera tx25x100mm
3. Knipex 86 031 180 pliers wrench

I bought these recently for a bike tool set I'm putting together for my new Load 75. One of the advantages of an e cargo bike: you don't care how big the tools are or really how much they weigh.

I just got a two sets of these guys. it is a full size allen wrench with a magnetic bit older that will go on either end to change the bit size. so easier to use then most multi tools.

got this setup to take with me. got the hex bits that are held in place with a magnetic adaptor so you have a full length hex tool. it has two tire levers that may be a bit small for my hands. then a cool tool it is a quick link pliers a chain tool that you take it apart and use the other side to turn the chain tool a disc rotor tool and a valve core remover and it holds two quick links.

This one is used to install Bafang mid-drives so they do not twist - a huge problem! All you do is loosely mount the motor on the upside down bike, pushing the motor all the way forward against the down tube. Use a paint pen to mark one or two of the mounting plate teeth on the BB shell. Cut into the left side of the bike's bottom bracket shell nine even radial slots, every 40 degrees. The mounting plate will tighten in, locking into the slots so it cannot move. I call them ShortyHacks.

Podger Spanner.... I have a set myself but I don't think I've seen an adjustable one before, pretty handy!... The pointy end is used to line up the holes in the steelwork so you can put the bolts in. Its not a good idea to use your fingers to align the holes when metal fabricating/erecting as one slip could chop it off so these are handy to have in the tool box.

I the States farmers call these Spud Wrenches. It will help align holes for bolts, welding and things like trailers. This one has ratchet drives and hammer heads to tap the top of a bolt, pin or rivet.

I like that! The hammer head sides are a good idea!

Beats using the ratchet face as a hammer.

What do you do when the pin snaps inside your chain tool or have similar problems?
The pin broke inside my chain tool and because of the grease seal it would not knock loose. I solved the puzzle by using a wheel magnet with the replacement pin to slowly extract it.

So you needed a tool to fix your tool?

This is the tool I use the most and I really like how smoothly it works. No now that I think about it the tool I use the most is this set of allenkeys

 

[PedalUma]

Nice tool. Talk about smooth. I took apart a motor on the bench today and cleaned the inside and re-lubed the internal transmission. The motor goes at 4,000 rpm and gets stepped down by transfer gears with two on the left and two on the drive side of the bike. I built it in February of 2018 and the owner has used it as a daily commuter at times doing 35 in city traffic to go with the flow. The guy is so impressed with the smoothness that he said, "There is nothing as smooth as a lubed tranny."
