Let's See Some Bicycle Tools

[nycet3]

Figured I'd collect my tools into a single thread. (I recently sold the Atelier Velo and the VAR crank pin tool as I had doubles.)

Feel free to add.

GREAT collection of tools!

Thanks. There are more to come. slowly working on a few. Tasteful cleaning, lubricating, preserving.

The tools that combine cast iron and wood are especially pleasing to my eyes. That said, I like pretty much all old bike tools.

Here are a couple more. Still slick with a fresh coat of penetrating oil. Will grease all threads and metal-on-metal contacts.
Standard hammer for scale.
I love these two. Harken back to smithing and making metal bend to one's will. Plus, they're just cool as all hell.

I recently sold this wire tensioning machine as I had a double.

Here's a Butterfield fork thread cutter. From Rock Island, Quebec.
Right now it's set up the cut a 24 tpi tread into a 1" fork. The bluing and swirling of the steel is pretty cool looking.

Here's a cast bench mounted chain breaker. Can't find a maker's mark anywhere. Seems to be missing the pin that drives the chain pin.

Gently cleaned and lightly oiled this rim dog. The curves are so beautiful, and it feels great in the hand. Tons of character. Probably some knuckle DNA somewhere.
This one is moving on to the collection of a member here. The others will stay with me.

This is not an old tool but one I made a couple weeks ago from information I got from Chucksoldbikes it is for pressing out the crank pins that a lot of the English bikes have. I bought a 3/4" pipe clamp and drilled a hole a little bigger for the pin to go thru, clamp it on over the pin and start turning it works great. The longer pipe is to put on the handle of the clamp for more leverage. I took these pictures on the bench when you use this it will be when the crank is still on the bike.
