Confessions of a tool junkie

[JefO]

Was given another bike repair stand today. This one is from Minoura.

Have to say it is better quality than my Park Tools one, in that the bike grip head is rotationally adjustable. Constructed of steel rather than aluminium tubing, it is heavier, more stable and more compact than the Park Tools one too.

No surprise there....

I watched a AvE YouTube video on the release of his view collective designed snap-off blade utility knife. Unfortunately the postage from canukstania wasn’t silly money (even if the knife _might_ have been).

Guess what I’m awaiting the delivery of!

I just got some Knipex TwinGrip Slip Joint Pliers.

Like all Knipex tools, very nicely made, and comfortable to hold. They've got a quite unusual set of jaws, aside from the ends for those really hard to get to fittings, the more normal side gripping location is very uniquely shaped, presumably to allow it to grip a wide variety of different sized heads, and to allow for when the jaw is opened up to its widest setting.

In a fit of sense, I decided that the likelihood of me wiping and oiling a set of carbon steel secateurs every time I use them without fail was probably nil, so I didn't buy. Need to find a suitable lazy git's alternative.
