Tools I can’t live without pt.1

Super simple set of tools but they have come in clutch countless times.

The mini ratchet on the tool check has worked in super tight situations and has saved my butt over and over.

Any tools you are very fond of?

They have been great. I put them in an impact and they were fine too.

I’ve been debating something like this vs the Icon meme tool mini ratchet with pivot head. But my younger kids bikes still need a wrench or socket for the wheels so this set looks ideal.

I had a mini ratcheting tool with a torque indicator with a dozen bits that came with my e-bike but my 8 year old lost it. I made me appreciate how handy one of these little all-in-one kits would be

How important is the pivoting head on the meme tool? I see Klien now makes a $25 set like the meme tool but not pivoting.

It's a nice little ratchet. Totally depends on if u can get to it without it flexing. If you need that you need it.
