Threaded #34: A fresh harvest for New Tools Day

I can’t believe I almost made it to March without an edition of New Tools Day. That's especially shameful given the new tools haven't stopped and I’ve been playing with some fun new things since the last show and tell in 2024. Time to fix that.

In this edition of Threaded, I share my thoughts on a few new small hand tools from Feedback Sports, I test out an interesting and little-known tyre installation and removal tool out of the UK, I take a look at the new and affordable two-bolt cleat installation tool from Crank Brothers, and I break loose a few overly snug crank bolts with CeramicSpeed's latest creation.Plus, you’ll discover a few new tools from outside the cycling world that I’ve spent my money on as of late. And there are a few teasers of tools I’ve only just begun to use and test.

Sit back with your favourite chainbreaker, ratchet, or other fidget spinner, and enjoy.
