What is your favorite tool to work on a bicycle?

[MarkKBike]

Out of the ones that have come in most handy, I'd have to say this one, and my crank puller.

My vote will go to this as it gets used the most often.

As a kid I did not even know chain tools existed, I used to get by with pliers, a punch, and some patience.

I also have the exact same tool. And it's also one of my favorite to use. Makes the job painless for removing a chain link, unless when I punch the pin a tad too far, then it's back to the hammer to get the pin back in.

Rawhide mallet good for installing bearing cups, removing sheet metal dents, reshaping stuff, loosening up stuck bolts, loosening stem/headset bolt wedge and anything else they needs a nudge.

Today it's my New Departure rear hub tool. The one that holds all the discs in place.

I bought these spreading pliers from the Snap On guy about a year ago, and I just had a stubborn handlebar to stem engagement, and I've got to say, that this little gem has just became one of my favorite new tools.

Hit the driver up, the next time you see the Snap On truck.
You won't regret getting a pair of these pliers.

Perhaps a bit refined for old bikes. But none the less, things are usually pretty exciting when this is in action.

The more tools ya have the easier the job will be.Nothing takes the place of the correct tool for a certain job.

my top 5 are:
1) dual Park bike stand
2) correct socket with long bar for rear new departure hub nuts
3) kick stand tool for kickstand removal on schwinns
4) mega size crescent head set top nut
5) Mario Bros. type combination wrench for the sprocket removal lock nut
