Found my dream saddlebag tool kit for $20!
I've searched for a selection of screwdriver, hex, torx and sockets to put in myside o' the road kit. Since I used to make my $$ with tools, function and quality were high on my list. I'd started pulling this and that out ofthe toolbox- not very compact in thebags plusit was easily going to cost me $100s to duplicate what I was missing from the toolbox.Looked at Cruztools butquestioned whether you could bust loose a Locktited nut with those things.
I ran across a GearWrench set for$19.98 at Lowe's (stock #173505). It's also on sears.com (item# 00930035000) for about the same price if on sale. I'll have to add (T27)and sutract (metric sockets WTF?)a few things to make it better but I really like the handle to put some grunt on a sticky nut or bolt.
Description from Sears:
Set includes: MicroDrive GearWrench; Square End 1/4 in. Adapter; 5 pc. 6 pt. Metric Socket set; 5 pc. 6 pt. Standard Socket set; 18 pc. 1/4 in. Shank Bits set (3 Slotted, 3 Phillips, 6 Hex, 4 Torx, 2 Square); 5 pc. 5/16 in. Shank Bits set (2 Slotted, 1 Hex, 2 Torx).[/align]
[ul][*]Need as little as 6 degrees to turn a fastener[*]Reversing lever and thumb screw on each end[*]1/4 in. MicroDriver for 1/4 in. bits[*]5/16 in. MicroDriver for both 5/16 in. bits & 1/4 in. drive sockets[*]15 degree Offset heads for knuckle clearance[*]All Metal Construction, Mirror Finish, Fully Hardened[/ul][/align]I thought I was being original in sticking this set in a saddle bag until I saw this review on Sears.com:
"I am an Harley Davidson Tech, and this is the best 25.00 tool that I will have ever purchased. I purchased it 2 months ago. All the guys that I work with have used my set and fell in love with it. The only problem that I've had is finding more sets in stock at my local sears store. I will put one in both my vehicles 1 in my Harley, 1 at work, and 1 at home. This set is so versatile. I love it"
