10. Not so nerdy :p . Now if they had been asking about bikes themselves...
A solid 15 - how sad
Another 15 😳 least i've stopped naming my tools now!
A full house 21. But then it is my job. Surprised loco only got 20.
hardly. most of the 'cycle specific' tools i have seen is of terrible quality. particularly park - do they have a pro and non pro range or something? most multitools are barely useful too.
where's the do you have a headset press question, and do you have pedal thread taps, pedal thread repair kit, bb thread tap, bb facing kit, m5/m6 thread repair kit i could go on.
what? no points for calibrating your own torque wrench?
crap test is crap.
I think it's just a bit of fun. I'm not sure it's a scientific measurement of your prowess as a mechanic. 🙂
That Garage Journal website they've linked to has got some pretty nice stuff on there as well
Damn right it does.
The one tool that I've always wanted is a personalised cable end crimper (i.e. so that when I crimp the end on to a cable it embosses the cable-end with a motif or my initials). Some of the top bike mechanics have them and it gives a great finishing touch.

Must try harder 😳
personalised cable end crimper

21 Get in there
That's a good thing, yes?
Oh, maybe not
Still I will use that BB30 removal tool I bought to replace the son-in-laws BB one day I suppose...
Bout 4 much lower than I thought.
I have 2 roll cabs worth but I don't particularly buy branded stuff. I just tend to buy what I need or mod stuff.
Why would you have 2 track pumps?

A disappointingly low 10. I must stay in more.
...yes.
Nothing covers making your own with other tools you own.
Chainwhip
cup remover
etc
15 Now I've read the hex tool page.
I'm staying away from Garage Journal. (Well until convalescence gets more boring).
