Excellent Value  KurtV, Te Awamutu
A good tool set for beginners looking to service their bike from home. Has just about every
tool you will need to pull your bike apart (mostly SHIMANO compatible). This is cheapest
tool set available and will save you $$ instead of buying overpriced ParkTool tools.

Works a treat  BG, Te Aroha
Can't fault the set.
Serviced the bike and did a great job. The chain break is a little on the suspect side but everything else is fine.

Good value  ChrisW, Wellington CBD
This kit has cheaply made tools which are fine for basic beginner bike DIY.

great tool set  HarryKillalea, Darwin Australia
This tool set is awesome. The quality of the tools looks really good and feels great as well. The only problem would have to be the case it comes in. Its good for a while but gets annoying when the tools fall out when trying to close it. Other than that its great for the price!

Excellent DIY Value  StephenLloyd-Jones, MELBOURNE
No it's not workshop professional quality, but it's bloody close! Just go easy on the bits that are obviously light duty.

I've built two bikes with this set, rebuilt one, and refurbished and maintained numerous others. Great for the real bike tragics!!

Really useful kit  DavidRoche, St Albans
Any tools not here you should probably have your LBS do the job. Bought one of these from T7 years ago and haven't needed anything else. Gave up of the silly plastic case. Chain whip, crank-puller, spanners etc all good.

Awesome for the price  SteveHoldsworth, PARALOWIE
How could you possibly go wrong with this kit you will pay more for 1 tool, not sidcrome quailty but very good for the price.

Beginners Kit  TimGradden, PENRITH
I bought this when it was on sale, and mainly bought it for its bottom bracket, rear cassette and various multi spanner tools which seem to be the only acceptable quality tools in the kit. The screw driver is poor quality and the chain breaker broke while I tried to use it.

But apart from that the other tools have proved very useful, especially for me and my team in the 24hour at Canberra the other week.

Good starter kit  Tristan., Sydney
A nice starter kit for the budding bike mechanic in us all!

Great kit  NickMcAlinden, NORMAN PARK
If you are a budding bike mechanic or just want to tinker and fix your own bike then this is a great buy.

The tools are all quite acceptable quality apart from the screwdriver, but then again what guy doesn't have a set of screwdrivers!!

Not a professional tool kit by any means but totally fine for the weekend warrior who wants to do his own bike repair (And maybe his girlfriends, extra points there boys!!).

If you really want to make use of it get "Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance" I got it off Amazon delivered to Australia for AU $31.

Happy Trails.

good kit  PhilWebster, GREENSLOPES
Nice piece of kit, bought it at special price just for chain whip, freehub lockring and pedal wrench, real bonus. Wish the case was opaque though so you could see into it.

not bad!  JordiBeneyto Ferre, Richmond
I just received and it looks really nice, the only down fall I'd say is that eventhough it includes a Shimano Hollowtech BB tool it does not come with the crankbolt tool which is just a little piece of plastic. A bit annoying to have to buy this separately...

Great Value  TimAllen, West Wodonga
Good range of (suprisingly) good quality tools suitable for most repair tasks.

At $40 you can't go wrong.

Highly recommended.

Union bike tool set  BruceMason, FITZROY FALLS
Very handy tool set and great value for money.

Tool kit  ShaunHowarth, Hamilton East
It's good to have all the required tools in one location, I used to have bits and pieces all over the place this keeps it all in one place, less chance to misplace them. Seem like quality tools.

Excellent value  ChrisSullivan, Dunedin
A fantastic kit for the special price and has just about everything you could need. I just replaced the bottom bracket on my road bike and the kit proved invaluable. Some of the tools I used retail for $40-$50 alone!
Very happy with purchase and would definitely recommend. Top service by the T7 crew as well.
Cheers.

Awesome  LukeChadwick, Hokowhitu
Awesome kit for the price on Special, imagine what this would retail for!

Couldn't ask for more.  FinnSumner, Christchurch
You really couldn't ask for more at this price. Just the allen keys, chain breaker and chain whip could set you back $50 bought individually, and here you get all the other things too. The overall quality of the tools is great and nothing feels like it would break without excessive force being used. The box itself is also pretty good, I've had other toolboxes that just couldn't keep the tools in place but this one does the trick, even on the more peculiarly shaped tools. Really you can't go wrong with such a comprehensive set of tools at such a great price.

Good Value for Money  StevenKay, Thirroul
A great kit with most tools you will need to carry out your own bike servicing. Quality seems reasonably good but don't expect the same performance as professional bike tools. Lacks a narrow headset spanner for threaded headset adjustment a torx key set but has just about everything else. Get it on special for good value for money.

Tool  JohnRobertson, Salisbury
Looks OK I havn't used any yet but it would be nicer if it came with some instructions on how to use some of the stranger tools.

Bike Tool Kit Review  BrentJaremenko, PRESTON
Good quality basic tool kit. Easier and cheaper than building up individual tools.

Great set of Tool sfor the Price  ArthurPengelly, Karori
For the Special price this is a great deal. Just what I was looking for to be able to maintain the bike without having to take it to the shop to be serviced for all those minor jobs. I can now do them at home in my own time.

awesome for the Special price  PaulGuest, Newtown
For the in-depth maintenance and restoration of 3 bikes that this toolbox has seen service under, I am still only missing a very large adjustable spanner for old headsets and some bottom brackets.
I haven't subjected some of these tools to extreme stresses yet - being always mindful of the low price of the box when about to put my full weight into removing a 20-year-old part - but none have given me any unexpected problems. I have already bent an allen key and the tiny screwdriver, but did so with full knowledge that I could replace them easily.
I bought the box for the specialised tools and am very pleased with the chain whip, cone spanners, crank puller, pedal tool and most of the other normal tools.
I have however quickly reverted to my old adjustable spanners, park spoke tool and super-b chain tool, which now reside in the box - which itself is the poorest part of the whole deal; made of very flimsy plastic which has quickly deformed to the point where tools do not 'click' back into place nicely, instead pushing their plastic holding tabs further into the shaped recesses.
All in all, still a 4 star experience, and a great starting point for a tool collection.

All the essentials  S.Broun, Bucklands Beach
Good quality tools, with everything you need to service your bike in one box. Considering the price of buying these tools individually, it's a bargin.

Good amount of tools for the price  RB, Hamilton
Now able to do bike maintenance at home rather than taking it to the bike shops.
