The old adage of using the right tool for the job is right at home in the cycling industry. We love a smooth shifting, non-creaking, responding bike, and it's no secret that half the battle to getting there is using the right bicycle tool - the other half is knowing how to use it! Granted, there is a handful of bicycle tools that are similar to the one's you probably already have in your garage; screwdrivers come to mind. But this is the exception, not the rule - 90% of bicycle tools are unique to the cycling industry and the ones that appear as common tools have been optimized to work especially well on bikes.
