Bike Tool Kit

[Retroman]

Trying to find some parts like this for a small tool kit to carry on my E-bike. Has anybody seen this type of driver or where to find one not even sure what it would be called. The one in the pic is sold by Spurcycle but out of stock and they don't know when the will have them back in stock. I like the way the handle can slide to adjust more pressure if needed.

Cruz tools sells pre made kits for hobbyists from motorcycles to guitars and individual tools to. Good stuff.

It's a sliding t-handle with bit holder instead of the typical square drive end. You can get a 1/4 drive sliding t-handle and a 1/4 drive bit holder from pretty much any company that makes sockets. Bits are allen, torx and phillips.

Motion Pro has a nice compact kit that will do what you want - a bit pricey but nice.

The Cruz tools stuff is great, but the multi tool is the only really pocket size thing they sell. “Compact” is a relative term. A bit set like the WERA or Gearwrench set might also work for you.

I looked far a long time for a sliding T-handle ratchet. Finally wound up with a ratcheting tap handle. The chuck adds some bulk, but the ratchet is a huge plus for your application.

Not sure about an e bike, but in at least 15 years I've never needed more than this multi-tool for MTB and road biking. I've patched many flats, made every adjustment, repaired muiltiple chains with it. All I've ever modified on it is the heat shrink on the hex adapter so it wouldn't slide down and posibble get lost. Never needed more leverage or apply more torque than it's shortness would deliver. A kit you carry is for emergency repairs or occasional adjustments.


My kit includes:

• A patch kit with a piece of leather in there too in case I need a boot, extra Presta adapter too..
• Rubber gloves, for chain or greasy work.
• Chain links and some garden wire to hold the chain in place for repair or whatever.
• I got sick of breaking or losing pump parts, so I've switched to CO2 instead of a pump. I've yet to use it.
• There's a tire spoon on the multi but I also carry and extra to have two.
• Of course there are a few zipties tucked in my bag.

I keep all the tools in the grey glasses case. The other green glasses case has a pair of yellow polorized night glasses for riding when it's cloudy or at dusk, I just switch my sunglasses out with them. Both those cases fit quick and easily in my saddle bag. Yeah it's big and heavy, but I'm no 'weight weenie'. My easy to grab Presta adapter is hanging there too.

Sorry for the partial thread hijack... LOL ...But the title is great to expand on.

Like measuredtwice said above.

A deep socket (size you need for bits), drill it for a tommy bar?

A socket (size you need for bits), and a 1/4in T-handle?

Or a bit screw driver shaft that you cut down and drill for the tommy bar.

I like the tap handle idea. But if you spend the time finding the right one, you might as well spend the time calling around local bike shops to see if they have one.

Thanks for the replys but I found this and of course a few other items seem to have good prices.

For $17 it looks a great bargain.

I have a 4 stroke engine on a bike, I've gone simple and don't carry anything, not even a tire pump.
Mostly ride local, 5 miles to work sometimes.

Check out Fix it Stiks, they crushing it right now with small tools, they also have really nice micro pen size torque drivers and hex ratchets. They're the few that can apply high loads and still fit in your pocket.

Also Silica has gotten into high quality bike carrying tools. They have a really nice ratchet kit that they've been struggling to keep in stock, they also have a toque and ratchet hex bit set.

Any reason not to use a regular multi tool? Maybe one that hides in the steerer or bar?
