In this article I will briefly look at the design and sharing my practical experiences when working with a gold KMC X11 EL chain (the version with a KMC titanium-nitride finish).
Gedore VDE 894 15 is a 15 mm single open ended spanner with VDE insulation up to 1000V. I’m using the Gedore VDE 894 as a pedal wrench alternative, since most pedal wrenches don’t have a rubber protection layer to avoid scratching your crank-set.

The latest addition to my PB Swiss Tools collection is the Straight Picktool 7676.3-80 BL, which is advertised as ideal “for assembling and dismantling seal elements at engines, gears, brakes, air-conditioning equipment, etc.”
