Review on IceToolz Fourth Hand Cable Puller: Universal Cable Holder with Locking Mechanism for Quick & Easy Brake Work by Mark Lodge

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Like a little helper, but better.

This tool just does its job. The line is tricky and almost impossible on some bikes. This tool saves time, frustration and pain in the fingers. I use this tool on every occasion because the results are so pleasing compared to not using it. Now that we have established the merits of this type of instrument, let's take a look at this particular model. At first glance, this tool seemed a bit cheap in construction due to the thin metal. But as I used it I realized that there is no need to use a heavier and stiffer material as it gets the job done. I'm sure the Park Tool version is much better, but I don't see a need to pay the extra money. This cable guide is perfect for those who maintain their bikes themselves and don't make a living from it. . I have at least a dozen bikes that I service at any one time and this tool handles it with ease. If I had a regular business I might look at a more reliable piece. For my needs, this is exactly what I need. 4 stars because it may not be "perfect" for some.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
