Knipex
Knipex is a brand synonymous with quality and while they aren't necessarily the first name that springs to mind when thinging about
bike tools, they have a range of tools that are versatile enough to be relevant to the
road bike and
mountain bike world. Knipex pliers are made from special tool steel which is oil hardened and tempered to make them last a lifetime, something compounded by the lifetime limited warranty offered on all Knipex tools. Knipex cutters come in handy for quick removal of spokes when rebuilding a
wheel and Knipex side cutters can be useful for a variety of odd jobs on the bike. Perhaps the most versatile of the lineup is the
Knipex water pump pliers which can come in handy removing stubborn nuts or gripping a variety of diameters without requiring more than one tool.
