Nashbar P-Handle Wrenches -- and thank you Royal Mail

So I did this CLE speaking gig for the state bar, and they gave me a little Amazon card that I used to buy myself these uber-cheap Nashbar p-handle hex wrenches. https://tinyurl.com/y8rrfyuf (I got via Amazon for the same price). I didn't know those are called "P-handles"; suits them. I bought on impulse a case containing a set of hex (Allen) wrenches and a matched set of torn wrenches, even though I already had good quality L wrenches. They all turned out so useful (the Rohloff hub gearbox on my Kranich uses Torx wrenches) that the box stands against the wall behind my bike because most of the time those are the only tools I need. I can't remember when I last opened the ali pilot's case I use as a bicycle toolbox... Emanuel, if you have a Lidl, they actually have good tools, though you have to wait until their tool weeks come around. I bought this box of wrenches from them for 20 Euro, and they're first class tools; exactly the same thing is only sale at a local hardware store for 50 Euro. I also have a box of 1/4in drive bits for my torque wrench that Lidl sold for Euro 20 which until I saw them at the supermarket I was eyeing at Mannesman for Euro 80, exactly the same thing, not even a different colour box. Andre Jute I like my toolmaker to be German, my watchmaker to be Swiss, and my cook can be either Italian for French |

I think if Joerg told us how he used his new fancy dandy effeminate chain tool to fight off and maybe kill and skin a mountain lion or grizzly bear that attacked him, without cause, as he rode his local trail down to the nightly pub, then he could reclaim his cred. Of course it would depend on how he killed the wild animal. If he just used his chain tool as a ninja throwing star thing and hit the animal in the neck or eye, that would not be too impressive. But if he held off the animal with his forearm as it was biting him and he used the chain tool in his other hand to beat the poor animal in the head, that would be worthy of high cred. He would need lots of scratches and teeth marks and blood to be really impressive. |
