We hear from mechanics who 'spanner' for teams such as the Canyon CLLCTV, SRAM, Continental Athertons and many more. It may surprise you to know that they all favour one tool in particular, so stay tuned to find out what that is.

What is your go-to tool in your toolbox? Let us know in the comments below!

Long hemostat forceps are pretty useful for picking up cables and hoses lost in a frame 😜 I have an assortment I got from my grandpa, he was a surgeon but you can find them used for cheap... *The ones with ratchets are pretty useful.

@james2tallG Ай бұрын

for me its the everything tool that everyone has, it's basic but i need to take my front wheel off every time the bike goes in the car. that and my pumps to make sure my tires n shock are set before a ride

@nateisright Ай бұрын

Breaker bar. Formerly used a ratchet with an aluminum seat post slid over the handle. Now I have a real one and it’s fantastic.

MTB Cribs needs to be an official mini series!

@OwenBikeNerd Ай бұрын

Now thats a great idea!

@imilic8 Ай бұрын

Owen really getting into the presenter role. Good job!

@gmbn Ай бұрын

He's a perfect fit!

@LaurentiusTriarius Ай бұрын

He had big shoes to fill, but they fit him well, Owen walks just fine 😂 👍

@OwenBikeNerd Ай бұрын

Thank you!

Glad the hair grew back with a vengeance Owen 💪

“Welcome to MTB Cribs” is the best line ever!

@ChrisCapoccia Ай бұрын

Love the cameraman joke around the tire pressure gauge, zooming in on the flat tire 😆

@OwenBikeNerd Ай бұрын

Not so much flat - just low pressure!

@darrylstark9259 Ай бұрын

Rubber mallet, because sometimes parts and occasionally people need some kinetic persuasion

@SeanMather Ай бұрын

Ah yes, the ole problem solver! Mine as well. Nothing like some percussive maintenance to fix an issue. 🔨

@louisgordon4388 24 күн бұрын

Rubber mallets, for when you need to hit something hard, gently.

@LaurentiusTriarius Ай бұрын

RC tools were the best kept secret 😅 Best wire cutter ever, my favorite bike tool. Knipex 95 62 190. So satisfying

@james2tallG Ай бұрын

the mechanic in me is watching this with an open mouth smile and glazed over eyes

@gmbn Ай бұрын

Some lovely stuff on display!

@MarchuxProductions 22 күн бұрын

Respect on Knipex stuff. Here where I'm from, the price is comparable to Park, yet the Knipex stuff is so much nicer and more solid

@JeffMTBinVA Ай бұрын

Torque wrench and bike specifc driver set. I need to either pickup the maintenance book or park tools blue book to get more comfortable doing my own work.

@OwenBikeNerd Ай бұрын

The maintenance book is genuinely great - well worth a purchase!

@Bikeaddict4235 Ай бұрын

Excellent stuff 👍 nothing beats nice tools ⚒️

@jacobfoo6817 Ай бұрын

Good old set set of Allen keys

@gmbn Ай бұрын

What size do you use the most?

@shafiqjan1474 Ай бұрын

My Felco cutters are among my favorites, also my DT tensionmeter & Spike wrench and of course all my Knipex goodies. Oops, forgot my EM torque wrench ❤

@TheScramble8 Ай бұрын

Top 3 tools for me 1. torque wrench 2. track pump 3. shock pump. And a cheeky extra. chain checker tool

@EarthlyEden1 Ай бұрын

10:10 what did she do in there, can only imagine the mess. 😅

@Pete_B95 Ай бұрын

Hudy RC tools are super nice.

@TCK71 Ай бұрын

Torque wrench for sure.

@01FozzyS Ай бұрын

Nice to see Jules again since it seems they stopped their "Dialed" vlogs.

I've shared a box once with a mate

@erikbrynjolfson6478 Ай бұрын

😂 that was freaking funny, the expression on the guys faces !!!!

@mattkavanaugh5623 Ай бұрын

What's the leather punch/hole punch tool used for? Saw it in one of the tool boxes... ?

@natgeoba7377 29 күн бұрын

I think mostly for cutting holes in the number plate before they were solid. I still use mine for XCO plates

@dannnyw111 Ай бұрын

We want full tool box tour, and then crown the winner of the World Cup mechanic tool box?

@hwordog Ай бұрын

Nippex parallel pull all day long.

@absinthesugarcube Ай бұрын

What do they use the knipex parallels for. I have a set, and they're really handy. I can't really see a use for them on a bike though. Maybe the big set for use with bb tools.

@tjp148 Ай бұрын

You can adjust them to clamp a wide range of parallel flats on hexes, you can grip brake rotors with them and straighten them, you can use it as a makeshift vice in a pinch.
