what's the rush?

Doubt you'd regret buying shimano - good tools last forever.

the bikehand one. It has a chainring tool and the other bits look a little bit beter quality i think. Also the 'socket' type tool for ht2 bb's in the icetoolz is good but does not fit on truvativ gxp bb's. hence the bikehand's one is a teeny bit more versatile.

shimano

I've got some Icetoolz tools, but they're not the greatest and the name is just stupid

errr, its not made [i]by[/i] shimano, it is just compatible with it. It is more a dercription/distinction for the benefit of road riders, as campagnolo parts often require different shape tools esp. bb's and cassettes.

It was still the better buy though imho.

Both sets are just rebrtanded generic tools but icetoolz ones are a bit hit and miss, some of their stuff is great and other bits somewhat less great.
And yes i have a few 'proper' shimano tools and they are well solid.

No didnt think it was made by shimano, I just called it that cos of the title. Some guy further up perhaps did though.
