Review on ๐Ÿ”ง XLC Cycle Tool Kit Toolcase TO-TC01: Your Perfect Companion for Bike Maintenance by John Swain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best under $100!

Just received this set in the mail and am very impressed with the quality of the tools. There is one bad review for tire levers (which admittedly look a bit flimsy) but I didn't buy this set for tire levers, I bought it for tools and all the tools in this set look very well made. I looked around for sets ranging from $50 to $150 and settled on this particular one because it had everything I wanted and looked better quality than some of the less expensive sets. From my research it seems that you either buy a set in this price range or go for Park/Pedro tool sets which seem to be many times the price. For me this seemed to fit well. My girlfriend and I have four mountain bikes that I wanted to learn how to service to avoid the inevitable costly trips to the bike shop. I bought a BIKEHAND bike stand here on Amazon (which I was also very impressed with), this tool kit and the tools needed to mount tubeless air compressor tires (Prestaflator Mini, also here at Revain) and in between. and tools that most men should have in the garage, I feel like I should be fine. If I need a weird tool in the future I will, but for now I feel like I have a good reason. Anyway, just my 2 cents for this toolbox, I was annoyed by another extremely negative review and thought I should give a better opinion on this toolbox because I think it's great.

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • Good for the most part but...
