CM originally stood for ChainMate when we introduced the CM-1 in 1986, but Chain Massager has a nice ring to it 🤔
why didnt you tell him its a 4th hand tool, not a 3rd hand tool? also gimme a job, i love u.
@@Paios That's true! Our cable stretcher is known as the "fourth hand" as we had already introduced a "third hand" brake tool. The third hand was a device that held brake calipers together to make it easier to install the cable. Similar end result, different approach.
Hi park tool what’s a good starter bike
@Sour_face_angus like on the streets and dirt built trails
@@xd_W1lliam hard tail or dj
The only bike tool you need.....a friend who owns all the tools.
@@stockstrut no we can’t help you
I am that friend😂
Yep and thats me lol smh
It good to be Seth's as a friend hahahaha
Then whos the real tool your freind or you
The knobby knife was really intended for motocross knobbies that get worn down rounded really fast on rocks, and square knobbies give much more traction in mud and sand. It can extend the useful life of the tire. It's not that motorcycle tires are more expensive, they're just much much harder to change.
I was just about to make the same comment, I saw it and figured that would actually be really nice for motocross tires which have much bigger knobs than Mtb
Used to square up the knobs on my dirt bike using a hacksaw blade
Oh for sure. Have you ever tried to change a rear pit bike tire? Man, it’s hard.
I use one one of these bad boys to cauterise my haemorrhoids.
@@ElliotFlowers HA!
"If you use your screwdriver as a pry bar, you won't have a chisel when you need one..."
My chisel is a pry bar.
Lol
The tyre knob cutter is mainly used for dirt bikes, the knobs are alot bigger so tyres last alot longer but the knobs round off pretty quickly so it helps to keep them feeling new.
A lot
That makes way more sense
I was thinking about my dirtbike while he was using that...
That explains the wide blade
Yeah I’ve got one for the dirt bike, I think it’s called the Tread Doctor
someone once told me that you could “borrow” your neighbors hose to use as a dummy hub
Now that’s a great throwback
@@BermPeakExpress yes
@Berm Peak Express forever a fan 😂 keep up the great work ❤️

I've got a couple things to add as a bike mechanic
-there is an attachment you can get for your truing stand to true disk brake rotors, it can either be an arm that you can adjust in tiny increments and hear when it's rubbing, or it can be a gauge that has very fine measurements that are felt by a spring-loaded piston.
-Another thing that can work for pulling cables through a frame is a vacuum and either dental floss or fishing line. Feed it into one end and use the vacuum to pull it through the other hole, then similarly tape it to the cable.
Save yourself money and just use an old brake caliper on your bike as a truing gauge. That way however you tune or tweak it, that's how it will be on your bike.
The third hand tool actually has a much more practical application. When you replace housing, it can be hard to get new ferrules seated all the way. Customer picks up their bike, shifts it, ferrules settle on there more, and now the bike shifts like garbage and the customer is unhappy. This is what a lot of mechanics call "cable stretch" because it makes it sound like it isn't their fault. The third hand let's you put tension on the housing to seat those ferrules completely so you know it is going to keep shifting well when it gets picked up and ridden. I use it on every new bike I build and every time I replace housing or ferrules.
It's not a third hand; it's a fourth hand. A third hand is a different tool
Park Tools: no one will ever watch a 10 minute bike tool commercial..
Seth: hold my beer
You should change this comment to Seth: hold my knobby knife
Hold my baby*
Park Tool actually _does_ make tons of videos that are essentially detailed "tool commercials," along with some more general educational and entertaining content.
Hold my LaCroix...
@@chrislukes9037 true. I use those vids to know how to use my tools to fix my bike
This guy really knows how to make the most uninteresting ideas into the most interesting videos
wdym it's Hella interesting
I love specialized tools
@@NorroTaku not for everyone, like me i kinda dont care for the specialized stuff but i still watched this video lol
You right dude
I don't think this video is the best example but you are right
I don't even ride, but Seth's video are always very interesting to me. I know a pretty good amount about a sport I don't part take in because of Seth. He makes great videos.
I’m getting into bikes again after a long spell and finding more change has happened in the last 15 years than when chains were first added!
Really enjoying your content and presentation , thanks for sharing.
I love these type of tool reviews! Great job Seth 👌
Video idea for Seth, Seth goes through tools he uses in his workshop and tries to recreate them/make them his self. Idk I just think it would be interesting to see his general DIY skills
This is a GENIUS IDEA!
GCN did something like that with a chain whip. On their show, hack or bridge section is replete with dummy hub hacks, which always get ruled a bodge.
If you like Seth's channel, you'll like GCN. Yes, it's for roadies, but they're fun.
I would watch that or alternate tools. How to remove parts with out the proper tools.
@@donnietress4737 alternative tools is a good idea. I never have the right tool when I need it
@@rcranes2227 true. I really enjoy their content as well. Really fun seeing them compare TT bikes vs. Regular road bikes and other stuff
There are an incredible amount of bike tools, especially from Park Tool. While it would take a lot of work to make, it would be cool if you could review all of your maintenance tools, or at least the ones you use most often so that people new to mountain biking can take care of their bikes and enjoy them for longer.
A lot of home bike mechanics have a fair amount of tools, but that type of video may also be able to help them if they want to complete their collection but they don't quite know what they're missing.
He has done a video covering all the essential tools before. That's still very good and pretty complete
@@northbayoutdoors1408 but Seth does own a fair amount of tools...
That's a great idea! There are so many different tools out there for bike maintenance. It's easy to wonder which ones you need and which ones, like bottom bracket tools, fit your bottom bracket.
9:22 me: *-looks at seth fixing tire knobs-*
Your knobs get rounded? Since when? Mine just disappear!
It was designed for dirt bikes because rocks round off the knobs more which are needed for corners
@@Hazeder422 ah yeah, that makes sense, cause my tires end up smooth instead of getting rounded knobs
@@Its_Captain_Jack_Sparrow noice, tho the street will become a slip n slide during rainy days
I like it! Do another one. You are showing how technical bike repair can be but also how manageable it can be if you have the right tool for the job. Kind gives respect for the mechanics at our LBS and explains why they deserve a real wage for their efforts.
I just wanna state that the tire knob cutter thing, was originally designed for Dirt Bikes since the knobs wear out quickly and make a drastic difference which can often save you from injury.
Flat track riders never use stock tires, they cut their tires all the time.
Yay!! A tools review!! Also I was annoyed when the dummy hub didn’t make a satisfying buzzing noise.......I guess it’s silent..

The third hand is amazing for getting zip ties really really tight.
Yes! Great point!
Great idea! I never thought of that but it does seem quite convenient.
It's not a third hand; it's a fourth hand. A third hand tool does a different job.
@@chalocolina3554 It will be a 3rd hand to me, as I don't have the other tool. Literally amazoning one right now. Never knew it existed and I am always fiddling getting the brake cables the way I want them. - Cheers
There is a tool that pulls tie wraps really tight and then cuts them off flush. I use them at work as an industrial electrician. They are really nice, but a good one is really expensive, upwards of $450 for a 1 trick pony.
Love these videos Seth, New MTB rider here and I've learned so much from you, thanks for everything.
Seth: says unique bike tools
Me: thinks of the park tool bottle opener🤣🤣
The pizza knife is nice too

Park tool Pizza cutter
Just got back from a Sunday morning solo ride and was greeted to this as soon as I got back! I’m always excited for your Sunday uploads.
What a perfectly timed video. Im helping open a new bike store in Dallas, and we just got a bunch of these Park tools . Thanks for explaining/demonstrating these Seth!👍
You are 100% right. I dont bike but I enjoy your channel. You make fun and informative videos and I appreciate them because it gives me something to watch. Thanks!
Seths a hard working man. He works all day in his bike shop then builds tracks and makes RUclips vids then edits them all while looking after Oscar and dealing with covid19
And he’s just had a kid. Mans a machine!
What do you mean, Seth is currently dealing with covid infection?
@@bullfrogboss8008 think he meant dealing with the restrictions and stuff
@@digby5786 he’s not a kid he’s like 35 lol
And he basically have to come with different ideas to make his content fresh so he has to do a lot of different stuffs, but kinda the same
Love top ten bike reviews never clicked faster

Can we all agree that Seth is one of those RUclipsrs that you can watch again again and again and dont get bored becose his content is gold
... because* ...
A chain scrubber is a must. Clean drivetrain = happy drivetrain = more fun on the ride. I own the rotor truing tool. It was a worthwhile purchase. I have the chain wear tool, but you’re right; if you’re questioning your chain, maybe it’s time to replace it anyway. I’m going to look into that third hand tool. It looks helpful.
We need a shirt that says “today we will be doing something different, but kinda the same.”
Already has similair shirts...
There is one kinda. Just check cognitive.
Sry didn’t know there was one 😅
@@Angie-dh5gr I’ve said it a few times I’ve also seen other comments asking for it
@@stockstrut nah nobody likes a self promoting kid tbh
I got a third hand as a Christmas present and it is probably the tool I'm most grateful to have. I have no idea how I lived without it
It's a great tool. I need to get my hands on one.
I primarily use my third hand/cable pliers for zip ties.
@@mikekrasovec6390 Oh yeah, that would work nicely.
It's not a third hand tool. A third hand is for holding the brakes closed. The thing that pulls cable is a fourth hand.
The dummy has been such a help for keeping my drivetrain clean.
Also invested in a Parktool stand. It wasn't the cheapest stand ever but its so easy to use, and fold away. Also it's built very well. Love the thing .
That moment when you upload is something else man
Wooo! Best part of Sunday!

The hot knife or tire-knob cutter you showed us isn’t too uncommon in the 4wd community, in one shape or another. It’s pretty cool. I’d definitely consider it for shaping knobs on a work out tire that i could use in mud or something
I'm down for another one, love these videos 👍
I haven’t went mountain biking a single time in my life but I enjoy watching your videos and I’ve been subbed for a couple years now
Yep I'm a proud eavesdropper. This stuff is fun to watch.
That tread cutting tool is really designed for dirt bike tires, I’ve seen people use it but it’s more or less the same thing you had to say about it.
tbh tho u can just flip the tire around and know you have another sharp edge on all the tiers so don't really know if the knobby knife or other similar products are worth it , especially considering you could just replace the tier for £20
Freewheel removal tools and brake frame refacing tool.. weird bike tools. Like the video! Cheers from Smyrna Bicycles Head Mechanic.
Seth you have helped me get into mtb and I am loving it thanks for the tips and tricks
You look tired Seth! Like maybe you have a baby or something 😂 I’m a new dad too and know the struggle. Can’t wait to teach my little girl how to ride a bike!
What about over volting her power wheels? and congrats to you
You should teach how to fix a bike first🤣🤣
1:46 - I have an old Park Tool CM-3 and it is called the "Chain Mate"
I’m new to the sport and love learning from ya.
Very useful video 👍
Thank you
I work at a bikeshop and we have only high-end bikes (Santa Cruz and specialized mostly) the pedal dummy is the best thing I have seen in a long time. I need this, thank you Seth 👌🏻👌🏻
I can just imagine people using the knob knife on Nobby Nics, then turn them into Nobless Nics.
Nobless Nick was my name in school
Your info is alway extremely solid and interesting!
I always love the tool tech videos!
WOOOOOO THE KING HAS POSTEDDD
The WH-1 is the most useful, underrated tool that Park makes. Literally all tasks involving a wheel are improved by using it. It boggles my mind when I walk into bike shops and see mechanics trying to set up tubeless or change a rotor with the wheel on the ground.
I agree. I don't have one, but it's on my wish list now!
I have at least half of those weird tools and they are quite useful. Nice video and I am sure that will help a lot of people. Thank you, Seth 🤙 See ya
I am one of those eavesdroppers from outside the MTB community. I havent ridden a bike in literal years, I loved it and everything about it, I just never got another one after someone stole mine like 10 years ago lolol. MTB is dope though and I love watching yours and SingleTrackSamp
Well tomorrow is my dad's birthday and I didn't know what to get him...
Then all of a sudden: Hallelujah! A Seth products video!
what did you get him?
Get him another brand of the same product. Don’t waste your money on the blue money pit brand.
A bigger version of the knobby knife is actually used on offroad motorcycle tires to improve grip on them, since they dont have that many knobs it wont take as much time.
I'm a total Tool-Head kinda rider, one time use super specific or weird tools, yup love and want them all lol. I like to tinker and try my best to do all my own work, repairs, and upgrades soOo... I'm all for the mtb tool videos! Come on Seth the Tool-Man series 🤘
Definitely would enjoy another one of these videos!👍🏼
I'm curious as to how the knobby knife would have handled those hairs on that tire a couple videos ago.
The Tire Knob Cutter would be more useful on a offroad motorcycle, much larger knobs that get round way faster
Seth, the story teller. You have nailed captivating audiences!
love your vids keep up the good work. I want to see a part 2

That would be pretty rad! Let's see it Seth!
You’ve developed the new child cave man look. Lol. Congrats on the new addition to your family.
That chain cleaning tool works VERY well. I love it.
Keep the tool videos coming Seth 🍻
Well, looks like Seth has just stepped up his rc crawler game with a tire cutting tool. 😂
Never been this early before damn
Seeing another videi about this stuff would be awesome. Not that id buy anything but these kinds of old Seth bike hacks are just entertaining. And we all know that we would literally watch you doing the laundry.
The Park DT-2 rotor truing tool is one of my favorite tools - it's surprising how many times I reach for it to get my rotors 'just right'
spoke wrenches also can remove presta valve cores too,
wd-40 in the chain cleaner works great for getting a dirty chain clean
Tire knob cutter - mostly for dirt bikes and flat track race bikes....far fewer knobs than a mtb tire!!!
I use a dremel to freshen up the tires takes like 10 minutes each tire and the results are amazing
First hahaha, almost broke my finger clicking so fast
Need more calcium.
Love these videos
I was one of those people that liked to eavesdrop on your activities through your videos. Now I’ve turned my Huffy beach cruiser into a bike for the local bmx dirt jump course and do my best impression of trials at the park while my kids play.
Seth today is my birthday 🔥🔥🔥😎💯🐐
The knob knife is actually quite often used by pro mechanics. They cut down the middle knobs of heavy mud tyres in order to decrease rolling resistance (and therefore increase speed) without sacrificing cornering grip.
i love the pace of this vid
Thank you very much Seth, for a moment I forgot that I'm in the hospital because I had an bike incident. It's really nice watching bike related videos although I can't ride right now. I'm soooo stoked to ride again 🤩😀🚲👌
Lol I've never clicked as fast as now
Seth I would like to see some more rc crawling with Curtis.
Yes we need another video like this there entertaining and useful 👍🏻
Very informative.
love these vids. keep it upp man
Keep em coming 🤙🤙
Yes more videos like this it’s amazing the things I learnt watching this
Thanks. I had no idea on a few of these tools. As often as I work on my own bikes I don't think many worth the money. Wish I had more time to work on my bikes and ride more often. Keep up the great vids
I would love to see more videos like this!
You left out a number of incredibly helpful tools such as a tube expander, spoke cutter (phil wood being my favorite), spoke punch, ultrasonic parts cleaner (far superior to the chain cleaner with the brushes), vernier calipers, impact screwdriver, riv-nut kit and seat tube reamer. Yes tube expanders are a real tool.
The last tool is insanely handy for dirt bikes motorbike since a decent replacement tyres are around $180
