So, with the new additions to my humble abode, one of them being a garage, the other being my DH bike, I figured it's time to get my self some decent tools. I've never been much of a mechanic, but I do some of my own stuff. I do mostly everything, except suspension, hub work, and headset work. With that in mind, I need some new tools. Currently, I've got a set of all your basic non-bike specific tools, a 3 way, and a multi tool. What have you guys used, and what do you love? Every shop I've been into uses Park tool, which apparently is the Zeus of the tool world. I'd rather not take out a bank loan for this, but I am willing to spend under $150 or so. I've herd good things about Pedros Tool Bucket, any thoughts?
My overall goal with my garage is a to have a pegboard full of tools, a bike stand in the corner, a table of some sort to do all of the working on, and some way to organize my bikes. I need to organize a maximum of 4 bikes in there. I've got a good amount of room to do this, so space isn't a problem. Any suggestions on cheap ways of organization? We have a bike rack in my basement, but my tires are too wide to fit in the slots In addition, what are you guys using for work benches? Knowing RM it's a microwave, with a piece of plywood on top of it, bacon in the microwave and Fox 40 somewhere near by.
Thanks Tim 'The Toolman' Taylor!
