I need a few new tools and just saw this on the On One website:
http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/TOJWTK/jobsworth_tool_kit
Anyone used one? I don't need pro standard kit but seeing an Aldi/Lidl set recently put me off going to cheap!
looks very similar to the lidl one but just updated for modern bikes.
I found the lidl one to be a good starter, tools work fine (just don't be heavy handed/abuse them) but I have some park/shimano tools for things like HTII BB and CL rotors/cassette which are areas that having a very good quality tool make sense.
I got lidl one and it looks very similar to this. I had to buy the shimano bb tool and crank tool extra(I see the on-one set has these), but I managed to build a bike with that lot
I've got one and it does the job OK. I bought it to stick in the car when I'm going away on trips with my bike just in case I have any major mechanicals that need full size tools to work on.
The tools aren't the highest quality but they do whats required of them OK.
If I were starting from scratch I think I'd get...
Lidl hex keys (£4 - and they are nice CR-V ones)
Park T25 tool (under £10)
HT2 tool with a closed end (if you have a HT2 BB that is)
Lifu chain tool (£4ish)
Superstar cassette lockring tools
And then whatever other particular tools when required.
good value as some places sell it for a lot more than £35
i picked one up from decathon in their sale for £20 but managed to break the chain whip
halfords do a similar one for £28 though
I just decided to buy a decent HT2 tool - when I had a good look I had pretty much everything else I needed
