I bought new cheap 46 pcs socket wrench set from china


Amazon Basics Mechanic's Tool Socket Set With Case, 145-Piece

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to get myself a new socket wrench set to use to work on my bicycles. It has everything that I needed, so far. I like that it comes with a well-organized case. Also, it's not that expensive. I'm not a pro who only works on my bike or home DIY, once in a while. 

I do like to splurge on some branded tools that I love. My favorite owned is the Black & Decker brand. I like the design and the orange+black colors. Been using them for years and they still work fine. I do use other brands that are provided at work though. Bosch and Hitachi are the usual suspects.

The one I bought is the 46 pcs socket wrench set from China. It's cheap and has most sizes of what I need to work on my bicycle. Of course, I can also use it for other works as it also has the screws and Allen key sets. For some reason, I love using tools and house repairs too.

When I learned woodworking and metalworking at school, I wasn't really interested then. But, I basically learned how to use the tools needed. The same when I took the automotive engineering courses. We also did some metal machining. That was pretty interesting and needed good skills.

I actually wanted to go to commerce class. But, my teacher said, guys should go to technical class. lol. Well, although, after all that, I wasn't interested in doing technical work. It was only when I worked as a building tech that I found it fun to work doing technical stuff.

I'm a little lazy to do those kinds of work. One thing is for certain, the more you do that kind of work and work with tools, the more experience and confidence you get. I also learned a lot. I even learned how to correctly hold a hand drill. One contractor boss told me a tools engineer taught him how.

I prefer to own the tools rather than borrow them from others. This way, I can quickly take out the tools and work on my DIY. Recently, I bought a new fridge that's taller than my old one. I had the idea of cutting part of the cabinet so that it could fit in.

I tried waiting for my old colleague to lend me a portable saw. Well, after two weeks of waiting, I decided to buy my own. I decided to get a portable reciprocating saw. This saw is actually pretty good and powerful. However, the battery dies rather quickly.

I've already used the wrench set to do some part replacements on my bicycle. It is really useful. Especially, when you have different sizes. What's also useful is the different holder or extender. Which makes the jobs easier. Once you have the tools needed the workflow becomes smooth.

I know not everyone has tools and that they usually borrow from friends or from work. It's really a hassle. Like, I've said I waited for my ex-colleague to bring over the portable saw but probably because of work, he couldn't come. That's why having your own tools is much better.

my new Ratchet Tool Wrench Repairing MTB mountain Bike Quick Hand release socket

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm buying tools that would help me do work on my mountain bike. I decided to get a ratchet tool wrench that would make it much easier and faster. I used to study in a technical class and went on to study automotive engineering. Though, I never went on to further my studies or work in the auto industry.

Anyway, since I got my current mountain bike, I've been buying parts and changing them myself. For some reason, I enjoyed doing it. Kinda relaxing. Funny, I wasn't really interested in working on cars back in my school days.

Of course, working on a bike is much easier than a car. One thing for sure, working on a car or a bike, you need tools. I had a problem just changing the brake cable the other day because my old cutter wasn't good enough. Hence, I decided to get a new cable cutter.

Once the cable cutter arrives, I might change my rear brake cable next. Just wondering what cable housing color I want to change to. I already changed my front brake cable with new red housing. It's coming around nicely!

Nowadays, bike makers don't use screws with the minus or plus head anymore. All you need now is an Allen key. I saw a video where the bike tech use a ratchet to tighten all the screws. Looks pretty easy to work with than fumbling with your screwdrivers.

Okay, you might not fumbles with tools but I do, a lot. I also have a problem with my hands going numb and now it actually hurts to whole things for long. I don't know why. I didn't go and see a doctor. You might laugh but my left-hand middle finger is now permanently numb.

Okay, you can laugh about it. I might have broken some nerves in my hands or something. It's getting harder to work on things. I can't even hold my bike grip for long without getting numbs. I'll have to shake it off while cycling.

In spite of the problem, like I've said before, I still love doing bike work. I pretty much got used to doing things and stopping halfway to let the numbness go away. Right now, I'm typing with the numb in my middle finger. I'm practically just using the fingernail to type.

When I bought the ratchet wrench, I didn't think of getting the Allen key socket set. Now that I have the ratchet wrench, I need to order them. It'll definitely be easier and faster for me to work with a ratchet to screw and unscrew the Allen hex screws.

My ultimate work will be to change my bike crankset and front bike fork. I have never changed them before so I'm trying to buy all the tools that I needed before starting. I don't want to halfway through only to find out I needed a special tool or something.


My foldable folding mountain bike at Japanese Cemetery Park

I need my bike to commute between home and work. I still have my other foldable bike. So, just in case, I f**k up the bike, I can use it. Anyway, at the moment, I'm just relaxing at home before going out on a planned bikepacking trip to more nature parks trails.
