Both of those are cool. Did you resist radiusing the clip fitter because of the variety of bikes you work on?

I made this tool yesterday. My son, who is into off-road cycling asked me if I could  copy this tool:

I used an old forged garden spade. The steel was extremely tough to cut. I just hope my welding is up to the job. 🤞

With a few modifications he could tow this behind the bike, a sort of mini agricultural scarifier.

I reckon that tool would be great in the garden; it provides an adze, a rake and a tamper, all in one.

I thiught it was a back scratcher.

I recently saw this tool in the shed. It's done lots of hard work but it's still in one piece 👍

I asw an old tool in the shed then realised it was the bathroom mirror I have been going to make a frame for in 2010

Turns out to be a really useful tool on our allotment 👌

I may have flashed my tool on here before😉
I made this tool to be a dolly inside the petrol tank so I could tapitty tap tap to get the shallow dent out that I found when I removed the Bondo from the tank of my A10. The main bar was a broken Britool knuckle/power/swivel bar. I was able to get the bar hot enough with my large plumbers torch, using Propane, to bend the bar. The rounded head on the end I sawed off an old ball pein hammer and welded it on with MIG. Is anyone interested in having this tool for their very own?

GB if you like you could shove it in with the spanners it may well be useful to get betsy beezers dent out of her HONDA tank , an apology to purists and rivet counters. .

G'day Fellas.
Yesterday I got new rubber fitted to the front of the HD. I needed to balance it.
I found my old wheel truing rig I rescued after the fire. A little out of shape but with 4 new wheels it worked well. Now I'll press it back into shape and give it a lick of paint.
Cheers

With the GFs front wheel being well out of true I can feel a bit of gadget making coming on based on your example.
