Top 10 Hand Tools for the Biker's Garage(?)
It's important to keep your motorcycle road worthy. And as a result a biker's garage or a workshop requires a lot of equipment including hand tools.
You need to be able to repair and service your bike so that it maintains a level of safety and efficiency. Plus, you'll get a lot more miles on the road.
In this vein, we decided to attempt a list of the top 10 hand tools for a bikers garage. But this proved to be a very challenging task. Everyone has a lot more than 10 top tools they use.
So what we did was throw together a set of 10 tools we thought you might find interesting, even helpful. We are sure you'll disagree on a few too. But we want you to e-mail us your top 5 or 10 hand tools.
Drop us a line on this and we'll share the results (coming up shortly is going to be a similar challenge for the top 10 tools for the road. This one is going to be really challenging).
