Birzman Essential Tool Box £149.99

SO GOOD… Birzman’s kit looks the most professional here, with each of the tools stowed in a labelled foam pocket within the hard plastic case. Thirteen ‘pieces’ are provided (20+ tools), covering most of what’s required to build a bike. The chain and pedal wrenches are long enough to unstick seized parts. Notches on the Allen keys are useful for checking that they’re inserted far enough. Adapters are provided so you can use the cassette and BB tools with the 8mm Allen key, avoiding the need to add an adjustable spanner. NO GOOD… We’d downsize the chain rivet extractor and add a pair of cable cutters. It’s expensive too.
