Park Tool Advanced Mechanic Tool Kit

by Park Tool

Product Description

If you can't fix a bike problem with the Park Tool Advanced Mechanic Tool Kit, then you probably have no business working on your own bike. This set rivals most bike shops, and it includes a tool box to keep everything from disappearing behind your bench. Need to work on your bottom bracket, tune a wheel, change a flat, swap forks, open a brew? No problem. OK, so the Park Tool Advanced Mechanic Tool Kit doesn't include a bottle opener, but you should be able to figure something out. Try the pedal wrench.

5.0 out of 5 stars Become your own Mechanic, April 6, 2008

If you are going to get serious about using your bike to commute to and from work or doing those long rides on the weekends, then you might just want to begin doing your own maintenance. I purchased this tool set 2 weeks ago and with the help of Park Tool's online repair help, I overhauled both of my bikes. This tool set contains about everything you need, only items missing are some tools required for vintage parts (pre 90's). Save yourself the hassle and expense of going to the LBS because you do not have the tools required to strip any part off of your frame.

I'm a bike shop employee of over a decade now, a bike aficionado, and beginning framebuilder. I bought my Park AK-37 kit in 1999, and it's been worth every penny. Could I have just dragged my bike to the shop to work on it with their tools? Sure, but giving myself the ability to work from home was an important step forward in my life as a cyclist.

The AK-37 will provide every tool you need to perform basic maintenance on your bike, and is worth every penny. Thus far, my tools have held up to years of use (and abuse), and I have nothing but praise for the kit. If you're just getting started with setting up your own bicycle workshop, this is an excellent way to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good tool set, includes some items you don't need from a tool kit, April 13, 2009

This review is from: Park Tool Advanced Mechanic Tool Kit (Sports)

I started working on my bike a few years ago and picked up a small, cheaper, set of tools at Nashbar. Later, I took an overhaul and wheel building classes at my LBS. They had Park Tools, and I just liked them better. Some were easier to use (e.g., chain tool) and some I would actually use. I wouldn't even touch my bike with the spoke wrench that came with the Nashbar kit. This kit was also missing some of what I wanted. So, I bought this kit, and supplemented with some additional, individually purchased tools (e.g., fourth hand, truing stand). The kit comes with some standard, non-bike, tools that you might not need (screwdrivers, wrenches, and my least favorite, star allen wrenches). I didn't have any decent tools anyway - so I appreciated the regular tools as well. If you have these, additional ones might not improve your life much. It also comes with some items I'd rather go without as "tools" as I already had these items (e.g., lube, grease, patch kits, chain cleaner) - but I suppose they'll get used eventually...hopefully not the patch kit. With these tools, I've been able to work on my bikes, old (80s) and new - overhauling hubs, changing cassettes, overhauling headsets, installing new parts, tuning up, etc. The only problem I've had is when I encountered old freewheels that need some specialized tool to remove. I opted to replace the wheels with something more modern, but they weren't worth saving anyway. Overall, I am happy with the set. They are a bit pricey, but I know I've more than made the money back by maintaining my own bikes, fixing up my own, now nice, $25 commuting bike with used parts, etc.
