4.0 out of 5 stars A toolkit that can be trusted
I would say that the quality may not be the best but it is enough to do a weekly maintenance on your bike. I have used this toolkit for a couple of months now and so far the strength is still there. I don't regret buying this because most of the tools I needed when I restored my bike is here. I was hesitant to buy this toolkit at first because of the comments from other...

3.0 out of 5 stars Questionable quality
It's a decent set as far as the contents are concerned. However, the chain tool broke during my first use. So, the durability is questionable. It's nice to have a case, but not every tool stays in their home location, they seem to pop out easily.
Haven't used every single toll in this set yet. It's an ok set for beginner home bicycle mechanic. If you want...

Haven't used every single toll in this set yet. It's an ok set for beginner home bicycle mechanic. If you want more life out of your tools, go with the Park Tool or a similar reputable brand (be ready to spend 3-4 times more $).

4.0 out of 5 stars A toolkit that can be trusted, February 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Avenir Home Mechanic's Tool Kit (Sports)
I would say that the quality may not be the best but it is enough to do a weekly maintenance on your bike. I have used this toolkit for a couple of months now and so far the strength is still there. I don't regret buying this because most of the tools I needed when I restored my bike is here. I was hesitant to buy this toolkit at first because of the comments from other users but then I pushed through with the purchase which was one of the best decisions I did because the toolkit never failed me. I will definitely recommend this to anyone who is into DIY because this will help you with most maintenance that you need on your bike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Bicycle repair tool kit...for the money, October 22, 2010

This review is from: Avenir Home Mechanic's Tool Kit (Sports)
If you are a hobby or do-it-yourself bicycle repair enthusiast with a limited budget this is the tool kit for you. The tools are functional and will get the job done but they are not what I would consider quality tools. I would definitely suggest that this be a supporting tool set to use in addition to a set of mechanics wrenches. Go with Park Tools if you have the cash or plan on using them for more than the occasional rebuild...otherwise these tools will get you by.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good...For the most part, May 1, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Avenir Home Mechanic's Tool Kit (Sports)
This tool kit worked great, has a bunch of tools, and allowed me to completely disassemble my bicycles. The Casette/Bottom Bracket tools were especially useful. The chain tool, however, is absolutely atrocious. It broke on my second use, as one of the threads on the inside of the tool managed to break, rendering it useless. Avenir Chain Tool

Other than that one faulty tool, the kit was a pretty good purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Imitaion kit, July 27, 2011
This review is from: Avenir Home Mechanic's Tool Kit (Sports)
This kit has most of the tools a home mechanic might need. The problem is that these tools aren't made with accuracy to industry measurements. The splines on the free wheel removal tool don't match up with any of the free wheels that it should. The Crank removal tool broke the first time I used it. Wrench opening measurements are inaccurate causing a loose fit which chews up the nut or bolt head you're trying to tighten down or loosen. Don't waste your time with this cheap box of poor quality imitation crap. Find a reputable brand instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars bike tool set, November 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Avenir Home Mechanic's Tool Kit (Sports)
I love this set. Has lots of specialty tools: chain link remover, cone wrenches, bottom bracket tools....

It cost me 50 dollars, and I am happy to have paid it. Buy this set first, BEFORE you buy individual tools!

I received this as a gift. The quality is great. Looks like the kit includes just about everything (and more) that the home bicycle repair enthusiast would ever need. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool set, July 18, 2010

This review is from: Avenir Home Mechanic's Tool Kit (Sports)
I wanted a cheap tool set i could us to work on my bike while I was deployed to Afghanistan. After reading the reviews on this set I didn't expect to much from the set...but as soon i got it I put it to work and it has not let me down. I originally planned on selling the kit or passing it on to some one else but it will defiantly be coming home with me...oh yeah and the shipping to my APO address was extremely quick.

1.0 out of 5 stars Genuine POS, February 6, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Avenir Home Mechanic's Tool Kit (Sports)
I intended to use this product more than once, but the chain whip, chain breaker, and crank extractor all broke during first use. Had what I needed and I squeaked through the repair (my first on my own bike), thankfully. This was the first of many items purchased on Amazon that I've had to return - I can't imagine a worse product. I'm still in the market for a decent price for a good starter set of tools. Any suggestions?

1.0 out of 5 stars Avenir tool kit, September 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Avenir Home Mechanic's Tool Kit (Sports)
I was on the market for a compact tool kit that was affordable. I chose this tool kit as I thought it had all the necessary tool included. I have to say that I am a little disappointed with the quality of the tools so far. The sizes are not accurate, such as the 15 mm and the 17 mm, they are a little big and you will run the risk of stripping various nuts on your bike. A 14 mm socket is not included in the kit. I do not know why, but many bikes use a 14 mm for the bottom crank arms securing bolts. There are better tool kits out there and I would not recommend this one.
