Feedback Sports 15mm Pedal Combo Wrench
Save 49%
Feedback Sports 15mm Pedal Combo Wrench: was $30 now $15.40 at Competitive Cyclist

I really like this double-ended wrench from Feedback Sports. It's sleek and reassuringly heavy in hand, and gives you the ability to undo 15mm pedal flats or 15mm wheel nuts.

These days, it's better suited for use on my track bike or when I'm using Garmin pedals with spanner flats. If there's a range of bikes at home, you'll probably be using it for decades to come, and it will help shift tight pedals and nuts thanks to its longer length.

There are a few versions of the nifty Ratchet Rocket tool from Topeak. This is a small, yet well-made mini ratchet and bit set with 10 supplied bits in a neat case.

It may not be a tool you reach for every time, but it's just a really neat little thing that's nice to own and use. Perfect for travelling with or carrying on a ride, this is a nice one and would also make a great gift.

Feedback Sports  Ride Prep Tool Kit
Save 40%
Feedback Sports Ride Prep Tool Kit: was $130 now $78 at Competitive Cyclist

This Ride Prep toolkit from Feedback is discontinued now, so it looks like when they are gone, they are gone.

This is a neat 11-piece kit with some standout Feedback tools included. There's the excellent valve core removal tool - my personal favourite as well as the clever Philips screwdriver with integrated Shimano Hollowtech 2 tool, and of course the pedal wrench featured above. This may well make a fantastic buy.

Gionar  Bearing press kit
Save 15%
Gionar Bearing press kit : was £39.99 now £33.99 at Amazon

I bought myself one of these bearing press kits years ago because I simply couldn't afford more premium ones, which ran to five figures.

I've used this set for years, and for a stretch day in, day out and it's never put a foot wrong for me. It covers most common hub and bottom bracket bearing sizes, and I've purchased extra drifts as I needed them over the years to build out my collection.

If you're interested in doing more servicing at home, this set will look after you; it even comes in a neat foam-lined case.

Park Tool  BBB-4
Save 30%
Park Tool BBB-4: was £27.99 now £19.50 at Amazon

Invest in yourself with the Park BBB-4 book. This is a fantastic resource for learning more about bike mechanics, standards, and how to tackle certain jobs, and it even provides comprehensive torque specs and conversion tables.

If you're keen to learn more and improve your skills, I promise this will be money well spent.

Park Tool  CT3.3
Save 20%
Park Tool CT3.3: was £40 now £32 at sigmasports.com

This is probably my favourite chain tool; if looked after and used properly, it's absolutely bulletproof.

The CT3.3 from Park Tool will cover 5-12 speed chains, including SRAM AXS chains. The pin is easily replaceable when worn, but in my experience, that took hundreds, if not thousands, of uses.

This tool will take a hammering in a shop environment, but if used at home, it will probably be the last chain tool you buy.

Top tip: never use a tool to remove or break very worn or rusty chains; save it for the installs.

Tech writer

Tom joined the Cyclingnews team in late 2022 as a tech writer. Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop.

He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport's biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Alberto Contador. He's also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter clothing.
