Park Tool Home Mechanic Starter Kit SK-3


Park Tool have taken a considered approach to the contents of this starter toolkit. Housed in a spacious plastic tool chest are 17 bike-specific tools (12 ‘pieces’), which cover most basic maintenance tasks. Highlights include the powerful cable/housing cutters, the chain link pliers and the chain wear indicator. The Allen key multi-tool,T25 Torx wrench, chain tool, tyre levers and patch kit are all small enough to slip into a pack.

An external BB tool, such as Park’s BBT-19.2,would be a welcome addition.You’ll need to add an adjustable spanner to make full use of the kit.

Price $150
