four.

I’m reliably informed I’m just a tool

14! I must get out more
Although to be fair, of the three track pumps I have, only one actually works properly, the others are ‘spares’ in the shed, just in case….
And the derailleur gauge I made myself

Nine.

15
😳

12.5 🙂

12. I’d assumed I’d be pretty low, but their description is fairly accurate.

Oh dear. 14.

ton – 4? You sure you were honest :O)

I’d have you down for nearer the top end being a spanner monkey.

(trying to make myself feel better)

13… my other nickname of torxwench seems appropriate! Girl mechanics for the win!!

13…just safe..

ton – 4? You sure you were honest :O)

yep 4.

2 track pumps
2 sets allens
headsets press is homemade threaded bar thing
fit starnuts with a hammer and bolt
got some shimano bb tool thing which takes cassettes off too.

that is all.

a strong 14……….possibly 16

Sorry, I think I confused you with PeterPoddy who went down the spannering route. I’ll crawl back under my coffee cup and wake up a bit more :O)

14. Ooh shiny things.

9 – surprisingly low, but then again a lot of my tools are bodged or bought when they’re cheap, I did somehow own 6 bottom bracket tools though (but sold a few of the redundant ones)

1 – and that was just for having taken the test.

edit: I suppose technically I own two track pumps but since I’ve not seen one for three years I’m chalking it up to losses.

9.

Ow my god I need help I pulled an 18 and close too a 19 if I had read it I its entirety. In my defence I do have a bike shop and a fabrication shop.

Hmmm…I appear to of scored a full house….:/

But then I do have lots of toys in the workshop, work full time as a car/van/lorry mechanic, have always tinkered, and manufacture some bike bits.

oh bum – 17 😳

(would have been 18 but I’m still reading that hex wrench article)

9…quite disappointed actually, thought i’d get higher

I thought I was a tool nerd but only scored 10, so I’ve ordered a set of German tools in matching colours, planning a holiday around Eurobike and dropping by the bike mechanics workshop to see what they use on the way home.

another 17

not sure that’s a good thing

10ish, probably about right.

16. Frankly disappointed it’s not higher. Tool nerd and proud.

I really must buy some decent screwdrivers. Any recommendations?

19. But I did use to be a professional mechanic and have a thing about buying proper tools. I also have several toolboxes, not just home and race :$

14 and ive sold my headset press too.

11 (should be 12 but as one of the guys down the LBS borrows stuff of me I have never bothered checking out the kit they have).

14. What a saddo.

A genuine 2.

20

13, and proud of it

15 and slightly disappointed.

I have a set of bearing setting tools like these:

A set of bearing pullers that go small enough for bikes but large enough for truck wheel bearings!

Three shock pumps within reach of out stretched arms in the shed. One in the roller tool box, one on the tool board, and one in the small “take along to riding” tool box for car park fettling. Same with hex keys, although I have different types for different jobs. Two track pumps, one set up for Presta, one for Schrader, and a compressor.

I’m a tool whore.

18 here…

18…… but I used to be a bike mechanic.
