 Product Catalog > Bicycle Tools > Tool Kits Park Tool Advanced Mechanic Tool Kit - AK-37 By: Park Tool Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 11 Product Description: If you cant 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 doesnt include a bottle opener, but you should be able to figure something out. Try the pedal wrench. Product Features
Where to Buy
Reviews My own bike shop!  by: on: 20-Nov 2009 I started getting into bicycling very serious last couple years. I ride over 600+ miles a month in average and later realized that I need a tool set to maintenace my bikes. I just do not like the idea leaving my bike at the LBS for couple days for maintenance because I am riding my bikes almost every other day so the timing is very important for me. I finally drop the money to buy the set and am glad that I did because I do not need to drop my bikes off at the LBS to have the bikes tune up. There were times that I need to change the cassett and I can do that myself instead of paying $30 for the shop to do it. The regular tune up can cost around $40 a visit so overtime this tool set is paying for itself. I commute to work about 40+ miles a day, three times a week with 60-100 miles over the weekend. Next thing you know the bikes will need to clean and tune. -- It doesn't take long for this tool to pay for itself. I would recommand to buy "Pro Elite Bike Repair Stand" from REI if you are going to be your own merchanic. My son always like to sit next to me when I am tunning my bikes and this tool set is going to pass down to him eventually.(Think about that is a long term investment. Ha ha!) The set has about 90% of the tool you will ever need for regular maintenance. You can buy the special tools seperate if you ever needed. I had couple roadies friends come by occationally to use the tool for their bike maintenance or swap out their racing wheels with the cassette. You owe that to youself a good set of tool if you enjoy riding bikes as much as I do. Great Set by: on: 07-Nov 2009 I can do about anything I need to do with this tool set. I recomend it. Exactly as described by: on: 27-Aug 2009 Sick of dragging your bike to the shop for simple repairs? Slap down the cash for this baby. It IS a little pricey, but it has the tools to completely rip down a bike to the frame. Do-it-yourself oriented people will really like this tool set. Quality is top notch. Great value for starting your home bike workshop by: on: 06-Aug 2009 Don't look any further if you are starting to build a home workshop and don't already have many specialty bike tools. This will give you almost everything you need to do most maintenance tasks, from emergency trail repairs to drivetrain overhauls, and Park tools are the highest in quality. If you have "Zinn and the Art of Mountain (or Road) Bike Maintenance" (highly recommended for your first repair book), this set covers all of the level 1 & 2 tool sets and even a few of the advanced level 3. There are a few that overlap what you probably already have, like screwdrivers and hex wrenches, but they are quality items and it's always handy to have extra of these. You may need to supplement this set with some add'l tools for some tasks, such as replacing a headset, but most of those are more pricey and best bought (or substituted) as needed. The toolbox is nothing special, but it is handy and sturdy enough, and matches the tools to boot. Pair this with the Park PCS-10 repair stand to make your own "professional" workshop at home! I prefer to buy at least some of my bike parts and gear at local shops to support them, but Amazon's price on this set was too good to pass up. Even the other online discounters are $80-100 more.
