Test: For many, the love of cycling is also synonymous with the love and care of the bike. This also includes screwing. Good tools are essential for this. The Shimano subsidiary Pro has an interesting tool case on offer that we took a closer look at.
First of all: The Pro Toolbox includes more than 15 tools. With this you are quite comprehensively equipped in one go, especially since the case also contains some special tools. However, part of it is especially interesting for Shimano friends. For example, the chain tool contains a Shimano pin.
The individual tools are of high quality. The pedal pullers do not bend the first time they are used, as is perhaps the case with inexpensive counterparts. The handles are made of hard rubber and are comfortable to hold. The chain whip fits both 11-speed and 10-speed wreaths. The Bowden cable cutter cuts cables and casings as you wish. The spoke nipple wrench, which comes with interchangeable heads, is also very exciting.
In general, one has to say that the choice of tools seems very well thought-out. This includes in detail:
- 4x cone wrenches 13 millimeters, 14 millimeters, 15 millimeters, 16 millimeters
- Pedal wrench
- Chain tool with Shimano pin
- cable cutter
- Tool for Hollowtech II bottom brackets
- Tool for compact bottom bracket
- Crane puller and freewheel lathe
- Three-arm torx wrench 23/30/40
- Crank puller
- chainring tool
- Spoke nipple wrenches with interchangeable heads
- Allen key set
- 3x tire levers
The fact is, if you want to screw on your own bike, you need special tools. And you get that in full here.
Conclusion
The pro Toolbox is a very good choice for anyone who likes to lend a hand. The construction of a bike is just as possible as the extensive maintenance. The good workmanship of the tools and the relatively low price are also convincing.
