Tool Kit
I'm in the process of putting together a tool kit to take on my bike as I'm now taking longer trips and have a better understanding of my bike. I didn't realize how many duplicate sets of tools I've collected over the years, so except for a set of sae wrenches, I have everything else at the house. Total cost about $10 (Harbor Freight wrenches should work in a pinch). Here's what I have, let me know what you think I should add or what I don't really need. I based it off of a set you could buy online but was too cheap to spend the money for tools I already had.
- 1/2", 3/8", 9/16", 7/16", 5/8", 3/4" , 10mm wrenches
- spark plug socket
- ratchet
- vice grips (small)
- cable ties
- electrical tape
- multi-fit screwdriver
- hex keys
