I’ve had a tidy up of my Garage and finally sorted out my tool box and chucked out all the old rusty tools and i think i need to treat myself to some new Tools as my Tool box looks a little bare now.

I have the obvious, Spanners, Screwdrivers, Sockets, Torx set, Allen Keys/Sockets, Torque Wrench etc, but wondered if there are any other tools or “Specialist” tools that come in handy. I like to Tinker with my Bikes and so far haven’t come accross a tool that i need that i don’t have, but i have only done minor servicing and stuff on the Bike I used to be a Mechanic so i’m quite confident around engines but i haven’t worked in the trade for over 15 Years and now i’m getting more confident with my Fettling on the Bikes i would like to start doing more involved work but don’t know what tools i would need to cover all eventualities.

What tools do you Recommend to have in your Box for working on your Bikes?

a big rubber mallet.
an impact driver.
and as a bike owner, you should have a brake piston puller.

I never let my tools get rusty. that’s sacrilege! like having a blunt knife.

My good (expensive) tools are always looked after but i have a Box full of cheapo Tools that have somehow got water in the Box so they have gone rusty, they are the ones i have got rid of

Sorry, I thought this thread was some kind of euphanism :ermm:

Not necessarily a tool, but stuff like copper grease and other lubes, plus old toothbrushes to help applying them :slight_smile:

Didn’t realise you was such a dirt box… +3.5 :wink:

I assume you have a clutch locking/holding tool… i was going to say spanner but mines not a spanner.

Been using mine today taking the slipper clutch out the old engine…

Oh and had a plus point today, whilst tinkering with the old engine i happened to find a Suter slipper clutch, i did have a slight panic moment and think what clutch has gone in my 560 and then realised this ones for the Superduke, i don’t even remember buying that. Best get it fitted hey.

Cant beat a bit of lube hey Nivag :wink:
