Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Corki Upgraded Needle Driver: Enhanced Bicycle Hydraulic Hose Fitting Insert Tool by Enrique Espinoza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well designed and thought out.

A surprisingly well designed item for something that is mass produced under a dozen different names. The main body appears to be machined from a solid block of aluminum. The threads are smooth, do not bind and the spike is easy to insert. The clamp prevents the hose from slipping. The only potential downside is that the stylus that fits into the pen doesn't appear to be interchangeable, but it also shouldn't take any real stress if used properly. The hose clamp has some play until the hose is pressed against it, but the two halves of the clamp join to form a flat surface that allows it to be used as a guide to cut the hose with a square knife. I know there are more elegant ones out there, but this one does the job so neatly and easily that more might be pointless.

Pros
  • Easy-to-use, universal needle setting tool.
Cons
  • ill thought out
