Another consumable item are straws, not only can you use them to install non-clamp grips but you can use a large straw to tidy up your cables. Disconnect the cables slide the straw over heat until the straw has shrunk and you have a cheap solution for messy cables.

Depends on the tools. Some specialised tools cost way more than they should and since you typically don't use them frequently, it doesn't hurt to skim on them. For example, I bought a very cheap Shimano BB tool from China. I've had it for years and no problem at all. Also, I've long been considering a nice chaintool but the one I got for $4 some years ago still works perfectly to this day and I've no real reason to replace it. Buying a cheap tool that you replace eventually makes more sense than buying an expensive tool which you barely ever use.

Thanks Seth, this video and a last one was just in time! I just got new bike after 9 years and even though I’m mechanical engineer and I shouldn’t have any problems with choosing right tools I still appreciate your guides

nice video! I searched for such a video for quite some time now and suddenly it's coming from you :D oh and tanks that you put all the links in the description makes it a lot easier Greetings from Germany :)

Please do a cleaning/ maintenance equipment for budget/ beginners :)

Great video. If you are truly starting from scratch a number of the big online retailers have pretty good house brand starter tool box/kits at a decent price. That is what I did (a long time ago) and just replaced the highly used tools with better versions as budget and need warranted. High(er) end 4/5/6 hex, cable cutters and tire levers are probably my best ROI tools for sure.

Been to long without a Seth video in my life....ahhh back at ease now. Great vid, keep'em coming!

Seth You Rock!!!!! That is so practical for a start up MTB tool box set... KUDOS BRO!!!! No wonder you have 1 million subscribers!!!!!

This is why Thursdays are my favorite day of the week

He is the guy to carry every tool you will need

This is one of those few videos that will be going in my Watch Later playlist for easy reference. Thx for including the different price point options. Sometimes a trip to Harbor Freight will do in a pinch, but I completely agree with the needle nose pliers. They aren't even worthy to use as a can opener!

Seth, you rock. Your videos are pure gems and provide useful information. Thanks so much for putting these together and sharing them with us.

great tips as usual! My only addition for anyone trying to restore an older mtb is to get some #1 and #2 JIS screw drivers for certain adjustment screws that look like phil but will strip under torque.

Sometimes the L style Allen key is easier to use in tight spaces.

Here’s a hack for one of your videos, when learning to pull up barspin learn to do a barspin on ice since you don’t have to lift up the front wheel and then when your comfortable with that you can move on to the actual barspin👍🏼

This really helped me as I just got into mountain biking. Thanks Seth

I feel like this is one of the few channels that takes into consideration staying on a budget on certain things. Such a great channel!

Your my favorite mountain biker to watch and I will purchase these

Good video. I have a nasty habit of buying good tools that I only use once - I could be a car mechanic or full fledge carpenter at this point. I do love the idea of just buying the entire Park Tool box (or Pedros) and keeping it separate and safe. I made sure to buy your stickers, Seth! My Trek Stache is going to Smeash!

I can now say I have done this purchase. Pretty much purchased the one lower from the Pro. The Eco Parts. I spent around 150$ with extras such as a chain whip some of the Dry Teflon Lube and some other things. Great video Seth. My toolbox will be outfitted with your stickers!

Fantastic vid. Wise words for not only a good bike tool set but for every household.

As usual U hit the nail on the head, or at least the ball out of the Park (tool). Man that was bad. Anyway that statement about family friend's and toolboxes, yeah that's probably one of the best tips. It's amazing just how many tool's grow legs and simply walk away. I'm still waiting for my 15mm wrenches to come back from their taco Tuesday party. Got a feeling they must've gone down to Cabo without me.👍😎🚲🍺🌮🌮🌮

@Torchedini

You can, but it is better to spend a bit more on hex and torx keys. If you get cheap tools they are soft and will destroy the bolt you are trying to extract/put in. When everything is new this no problem, but when it gets dirty it gets difficult. By spending more you get tools that are nicer to handle and last longer. Buy cheap, buy twice. And have to extract a broken bolt.

Great video Seth! Some tools I already have and others I know I should get for when (not if) I need them. An alternative in the torque wrench area is the Harbor Freight Pittsburgh 1/4" torque wrench which can usually be had for $12 or less on sale or with a 20% off coupon. It measures in in/lbs. So you'll just have to learn or print/save a chart to convert to nM measurement. I got one specifically to use for my MTB, and I love it and it works very well! 👍

My beginner tool box was from the dollar store. Looked really similar to yours, but was incredibly cheap just like it ! The hinges were not solid, and often times caused the top and the divider to fall out. The tray was misshapen upon purchase and rarely could be slammed into the box . It still holds some of my tools , a valiant warrior it is.

Hi

Thanks. Very useful. I have most of those tools, but not a dedicated bicycle toolbox. I like the parts tray idea too.

Your videos are very informative. Cheers to more vids like these.

I bought a beginner tool kit from a local bike shop had a lot of specialty bike tools came in very handy

Def like the idea of this series.. very useful! Def looking forward to an intermediate and advanced version off this tool series!!🤙🤙

Keep it up This is exactly the kinda basic useful info I subbed for

I just got a very similar toolbox the other day, and I have bought new Allen keys and put most of my old tools in the toolbox. Okay, I also have a hack you can use in one of your videos and toolbox. I taped a small magnet inside the lid of my toolbox, and that way when I'm using one Allen key multiple times I won't have to dig in the tool tray.

That first hex wrench set from harbor freight is EXACLY that I have I also got a set that fits a 3/8 drive wrench for more leverage. I use it on cranks, linkage bolts, and shock bolts. Didn’t realize how much I’d use it until I noticed how rarely anything comes loose now that I can tighten everything properly!

Great content Seth, gonna come in handy this spring!

I have a couple of the 3 way park tool Allen’s and I love them. Definitely my go to tool for any project

Things that I thought were required when I started, a GOOD set of hex keys, you use them ALLLL the time so I nice set is required, any tools you don’t have to buy a bike branded version of, get them they’ll be cheaper and often better quality anyway.... and get a tool box big enough for all the future expansion tools you know you’ll one day need

Thank you Seth! I thought about writting a comment on another video about tools i should own! And then I found this video! Great content!

Seth. This was spot on.

Hey man I just wanted to pop in and thank you for all of your effort in making your videos. :)
