As much as elitists would have you believe- there is nothing wrong with most harbor freight tools to get (many) job done. Especially considering the coupons you can use. Just hold your breath when you walk in the store.

Want a 'better' brand? Craig's List or yard sales can yield great tools at pennies on the dollar.

Last input for now- rubber mallet is a horrible and ineffective bit of advice.

If you want to move an object- apply some force, break a nut- without the metal on metal damage of a sledge hammer- learn the joy of a 'dead blow hammer'. Once I learned of these many years ago- they are invaluable and I now own numerous in various sizes and weights.

I recently used a little 1lb dead blow to loosen the cam caps while doing engine work. Amusing- but perfect tool for the job.

Josh, we would like to see all 4 bikes=pics, pleaseSmile. Thanks

Are you thinking he may want to sell, since he stated that he does not plan to again ride?
