Love Knipex tools too but a basic pair of toenail cutters is by far the best zip tie tag cutter-the slight curve of the blade always ensures that there aren’t any sharp edges. Plus, they’re way way less $$
I just use large nail clippers for zip ties, carrying such large cutters started getting annoying when the nail clippers worked just as well but weighed nothing. Cool set up!!
Love that tool roll 👍 If you want to add some padding to that shoulder strap, I can recommend trying a padded shoulder strap from Timbuk2, I have one on a 10L Timberland shoulder bag, which makes it comfortable to carry 2x 500ml bottles in addition to an iPad and sandwich box.
That's a really cool tool roll,nice selection of tools,and also nice to see someone who realises that Park tool aren't the only option for bike tools,there are better tool makers out there
Super nice roll, love all the Abbey & EVT tools, so envious. Are you wrenching just for youreself and friends (like all ex-mechanics) or for a team? I was a shop mechanic for 20 years back in the day. I would go for Felco housing cutters over Park. I've had mine for decades. That's my small hill to die on, any tool but Park, although they seem to have gotten better quality lately. I would still choose an EVT EZ-Lift stand over a Park Power Lift if I was ever going to get one (better go buy a lottery ticket). The owner of the first shop I worked at was a tool snob, and it rubbed off on me. We had four work stations, all the basic tools were Snap-On, all the specialty bike tools were European or Japanese. Abbey Team Issue Titanium Hammer? What about a spoke tension meter or nipple driver? Brake bleed kit? Pedal socket? BB socket? Small parts: brake pads, spare bolts (cleats, disc), shifter cable, housing, hydraulic housing, small magnetic parts tray, rubber mastic tape? Giustaforza II Professional Ratchet Torque Wrench probably lighter than Wera.

I appreciate the thought that went in the the tool selection an layout. Super jealous.
Damn this is some quality, a lot of thought and attention has gone into this set up, awesome work!
Really nice, I simply use a Leyne bag with 3 cheap tool rolls inside, wish I could get your custom version.

Enjoyed seeing your tool selection. The roll was interesting vs so many Pelican/Kaizen creations.
I'd love to see a list with links to the roll and the various tools. Great set up.

So are those Abbey, and EVT tools. Quality is worth it. He's either a pro mechanic (as stated) or a dentist ;-)
