Product Reviews

Excellent Value  KurtV, Te Awamutu
A good tool set for beginners looking to service their bike from home. Has just about every
tool you will need to pull your bike apart (mostly SHIMANO compatible). This is cheapest
tool set available and will save you $$ instead of buying overpriced ParkTool tools.

Good value  ChrisW, Wellington CBD
This kit has cheaply made tools which are fine for basic beginner bike DIY.

great tool set  HarryKillalea, Darwin Australia
This tool set is awesome. The quality of the tools looks really good and feels great as well. The only problem would have to be the case it comes in. Its good for a while but gets annoying when the tools fall out when trying to close it. Other than that its great for the price!

Excellent DIY Value  StephenLloyd-Jones, MELBOURNE
No it's not workshop professional quality, but it's bloody close! Just go easy on the bits that are obviously light duty.

I've built two bikes with this set, rebuilt one, and refurbished and maintained numerous others. Great for the real bike tragics!!

Really useful kit  DavidRoche, St Albans
Any tools not here you should probably have your LBS do the job. Bought one of these from T7 years ago and haven't needed anything else. Gave up of the silly plastic case. Chain whip, crank-puller, spanners etc all good.

Awesome for the price  SteveHoldsworth, PARALOWIE
How could you possibly go wrong with this kit you will pay more for 1 tool, not sidcrome quailty but very good for the price.

Beginners Kit  TimGradden, PENRITH
I bought this when it was on sale, and mainly bought it for its bottom bracket, rear cassette and various multi spanner tools which seem to be the only acceptable quality tools in the kit. The screw driver is poor quality and the chain breaker broke while I tried to use it.

But apart from that the other tools have proved very useful, especially for me and my team in the 24hour at Canberra the other week.

Good starter kit  Tristan., Sydney
A nice starter kit for the budding bike mechanic in us all!

Great kit  NickMcAlinden, NORMAN PARK
If you are a budding bike mechanic or just want to tinker and fix your own bike then this is a great buy.

The tools are all quite acceptable quality apart from the screwdriver, but then again what guy doesn't have a set of screwdrivers!!

Not a professional tool kit by any means but totally fine for the weekend warrior who wants to do his own bike repair (And maybe his girlfriends, extra points there boys!!).

If you really want to make use of it get "Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance" I got it off Amazon delivered to Australia for AU $31.

Happy Trails.

good kit  PhilWebster, GREENSLOPES
Nice piece of kit, bought it at special price just for chain whip, freehub lockring and pedal wrench, real bonus. Wish the case was opaque though so you could see into it.

not bad!  JordiBeneyto Ferre, Richmond
I just received and it looks really nice, the only down fall I'd say is that eventhough it includes a Shimano Hollowtech BB tool it does not come with the crankbolt tool which is just a little piece of plastic. A bit annoying to have to buy this separately...

Great Value  TimAllen, West Wodonga
Good range of (suprisingly) good quality tools suitable for most repair tasks.

At $40 you can't go wrong.

Highly recommended.

Tool kit  ShaunHowarth, Hamilton East
It's good to have all the required tools in one location, I used to have bits and pieces all over the place this keeps it all in one place, less chance to misplace them. Seem like quality tools.

Excellent value  ChrisSullivan, Dunedin
A fantastic kit for the special price and has just about everything you could need. I just replaced the bottom bracket on my road bike and the kit proved invaluable. Some of the tools I used retail for $40-$50 alone!
Very happy with purchase and would definitely recommend. Top service by the T7 crew as well.
Cheers.

Awesome  LukeChadwick, Hokowhitu
Awesome kit for the price on Special, imagine what this would retail for!

Couldn't ask for more.  FinnSumner, Christchurch
You really couldn't ask for more at this price. Just the allen keys, chain breaker and chain whip could set you back $50 bought individually, and here you get all the other things too. The overall quality of the tools is great and nothing feels like it would break without excessive force being used. The box itself is also pretty good, I've had other toolboxes that just couldn't keep the tools in place but this one does the trick, even on the more peculiarly shaped tools. Really you can't go wrong with such a comprehensive set of tools at such a great price.

Good Value for Money  StevenKay, Thirroul
A great kit with most tools you will need to carry out your own bike servicing. Quality seems reasonably good but don't expect the same performance as professional bike tools. Lacks a narrow headset spanner for threaded headset adjustment a torx key set but has just about everything else. Get it on special for good value for money.

Tool  JohnRobertson, Salisbury
Looks OK I havn't used any yet but it would be nicer if it came with some instructions on how to use some of the stranger tools.

Bike Tool Kit Review  BrentJaremenko, PRESTON
Good quality basic tool kit. Easier and cheaper than building up individual tools.

Happy- Great $ value.  PatrickFarnell, KEYSBOROUGH
Just bought this, am going to hate getting those tools actually dirty, but very happy, certainly unbeatable value toolkit at the on-special price I paid,..I had one kit I bought on ebay for $60 incl postage, similiar style items in red instead of blue, but this has larger case and several handy extra articles.
The shifter and screwdriver are probably superfluous, doesn't anyone who plans to work on anything have a shifter and a couple of screwdrivers at least?. A multitool would also be better than the handful of Allen-keys supplied....
.but, AWESOME gift idea for someone you know fiddles with his bike but has no real bike tools, as the presentation of it is so impressive for gifting.

Good place to Start  MatthewLum, Melbourne
I looked around and could find nothing that came close for the price (on special) used this to build a new high-end road bike. These are good quality tools fine for home repairs. Love the rounded ends on larger hex wrenches. Things missing; side cutters for cables, 12mm open ended wrench for brakes (not vital) and torque wrench for carbon parts (not expected at this price).

Good for price  BenA, Adelaide
Listing says "Cotterless crankarm extractor (fits all cranks)".
The press in stud is useless, I cut a bolt down the head was smaller and now fits. The press stud will not fit in while threading on the tool.

Everything else is OK.

I prefer to use my Kingchrome spanners to the ones provided.

Top Notch for the Home Mechanic... so happy with these!!  JasFulton, Canberra
Being my first dedicated bike tool kit I wasn't sure what to expect..

I didn't want to spend a large amount to get started...

For the price you just cannot go wrong..

The Tools have a quality feel to them I did not expect..

They feel strong and sturdy with quality grips..

Would recommend these to anyone who like's to tinker with their bike, but doesn't want to spend a fortune...

Union Bike Tool Box Review  EddieBrennan, JERRABOMBERRA
A well packaged and easily laid out tool box. The tools although I haven't used them yet, seem to be very sturdy and suitable for any maintenance task on my bike. The rubber handles seem to solid and don't appear to easily come off as with other tools I own.
