I bought a Leatherman Surge last year. If my Wife ever finds out how much it cost I'll be in deep shit :shock: :lol:

Arent they fab 🥰 hubs broke a bit off the very tip of one of the screwdriver heads. He sent it in for a general service and a new screwdriver bit, they sent him a free brand new one back 😳

Are you getting a "big girls bike" [mention]gymwitch[/mention] lol.

For a very little money a JIS screwdriver can be bought from Amazon or the bay and I would strongly recommend you get one as using phillips or pozidrive will cost you fastenings and cause growling lol.

Cheers

Here's a top tip. If you've got the factory tool kit that comes with the bike there's a JIS screwdriver in there :wink:

Very true [mention]WD-40[/mention] however the handles are sometimes rubbish as they often house a reversable screwdriver and lack the strength of a solid Tbar driver with interchangeable bits.

If anyone is bothered I can photograph the one I mean as it was very cheap and so very useful

I've heard these Vessel JIS screwdrivers are very good quality and reasonably priced. They're also impact drivers which is a bonus

I have these screwdrivers and they are really good


Although one of them is getting a little worn now! but its served me well and being well used

£75 :shock: for a set of screwdrivers.....more money than sense

 

You are getting 9 quality screwdrivers for that price. No more chewed up screws and they should last a lifetime for an average diy home mechanic. It's a one off investment that what you have to tell yourself :?

Also when you do get chewed screws from people trying in the past these make light work of removing them too
