Must have bike tools

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

So glad this was in a box of old tools I picked up at Veloswap many years ago. Makes cottered crank removal simple.

Haven't needed the grinder for this ever since.

I’d like to add that it’s very helpful to keep an organized work space. Breaking down old bikes can turn into a disaster zone quickly. Keep your tools organized in their proper place. Use a tool, wipe it and put it back in its place before grabbing the next tool. Will save a lot of time searching for tools and help prevent stripping hardware using the “get by” tool because you can’t locate the proper tool.

Love this tool. Makes bottom brackets and fork nuts a piece of cake. Especially with truss rods on. Made in USA and under $40 shipped off ebay (used).

If you get into post war Schwinn's then you'll need a kick stand removal tool.

Let’s not overlook the need for an organized work space

Hi. I am new to the hobby, what would be considered the must have tools for our bikes?
