Just about to buy a workshop toolkit, options are: -
Bike Hand @ £40 from Merlin
Icetoolz @ £40 from merlin
Lidl tool kit @ £25
Also going to buy a workstand for the gurage and thought the Minoura W3100 looks like a solid bit of kit.
Any comments on the above before I spend some hard earned beer money?
Thanks Stuart
Yes I have a few ice tool's uite good value. I have the earlier value Minoura workstand and I'd be lost without that. Over the years have accumulated a fair few tools. Generally as I do it I buy a specific tool and go from there. I find Parktools website a godsend as well.
I find the cheaper kits are OK for most stuff like chain whip, BB spanner, wrenches etc. (have a LifeLine one myself) but the allen keys are noticeably worse than Park ones and I'd advise replacing them (with Park) when you can.
Icetoolz=LIFU I think, I have been using some of their tools for more than 13 years without problem, likewise I have had a Minoura stand for a similar time. However, I would look at stands that clamp at the bottom bracket as these are more stable than a Minoura clamping a seat post.
