In this article I will review the BSCTools Shimano Preload Tool Bit for Shimano Hollowtech II cranks. It is basically a 1/4″ bit with pre-loadcap-shape that can be used with the BSCTools SDH-1 screwdriver, or with the Hazet 2262 screwdriver with 1/4″ bitholder or the PB Swiss Tools PB 186.6-100M bitholder screwdriver.

Hazet 863P 1/4″ Reversible ratchet
The Hazet 863P 1/4″ reversible ratchet is in my toolbox for a long time. I have a set of Hazet reversible ratchets with 1/2″, 3/8″ and 1/4″ sockets. Reliable, well engineered and very useful to have in the tool cabinet of a home mechanic. I will briefly compare with the Wera Zyklop 8000 series ratchet.
CEMA Bearing SRC-TT-B019 Bottom Bracket Tool
In this article I will review the CEMA Bearing SRC-TT-B019 Bottom Bracket Tool, that I’ve used to install a CEMA Bearing Interlock BB86-BB92 Bottom Bracket on the Scott Scale 925 mountain bike. I will try to provide my view on the quality, design and my practical experiences.
Park Tool SR-11 Chain Whip
In this article I will have a look at the Park Tool SR-11 Chain Whip that I’m using for over at least 10+ years. It was one of the first home mechanic tools that I’ve purchased together with the Shimano TL-LR10 Cassette Removal tool. And after all these year the Park Tool SR-11 Chain Whip is still going strong, with very limited wear.
Crankbrothers Cleat Tool for Shimano SPD
In this article I will review the Crankbrothers Cleat Tool for Shimano SPD, Time ATAC and Crankbrothers Eggbeater cleats. It is a small tool that might be able to compete with the Ergon TP1 Cleat Tool for Shimano SPD. I will share my experiences and why I think it should be part of your travel toolbox.
Topeak Nano TorqBit for TorqBar
The Topeak Nano TorqBit is a 1/4″ hex bit with a fixed preset torque value that you can use with each bit holder and each bit. I personally use it in combination with the Fix It Sticks T-Way wrench that I reviewed a little while ago, but it also comes in a set called the Topeak Nano TorqBar.
I will also compare the Topeak Nano TorqBit against the Ritchey Torque Key which also has a fixed preset torque value.
Park Tool BBT-10 Preload cap tool Shimano Hollowtech II cranks
In this article I will share my experience with the Park Tool BBT-10 Preload cap tool Shimano Hollowtech II cranks. I have been using this tool for a long time to adjust the pre-load on Shimano Dura Ace 9000, Shimano Deore XT M8100 and Shimano GRX 820 Hollowtech II cranksets
Shimano TL-FC41 Tool for Direct Mount Chainring
In this article I will share my thoughts about the Shimano TL-FC41 Tool for Direct Mount Chainring, that basically helps you to install a direct mount chainring onto a Shimano Deore XT M8100 Hollowtech II crank (or the SLX M7100 version of the Shimano Direct Mount cranksets).
PRO Bikegear CO2GO+ Mini Pump review
The CO2GO+ Mini Pump from PRO Bikegear is a full aluminum mini-pump that can be used as a manual pump and a CO2 inflator. The PRO Bikegear CO2GO+ Mini Pump is robust and has two clever ways of storing the CO2 cartridge.
Finally I’ll do a brief comparison with Barbieri Moskito Pump, which is also a 2 in 1 pump.
PB Swiss Tools PB 186.6-100M Bitholder Screwdriver
In this article I will share my thoughts about the PB Swiss Tools PB 186.6-100M bitholder screwdriver with the famous PB Swiss classic handle. I will try to compare this bitholder screwdriver with different brands like Hazet, Stahlwille and Wera Tools.
