Best tool kits for cyclists (Bike Radar)

In credit crunch times it pays to do your own wrenching, but to maintain and
repair your bike with any success you'll need a decent quality tool kit.
Here's our pick of the best cycling-specific offerings we've tested this year.

## How we rated them

To judge the latest bike tool kits we put together a list of the most common
jobs riders would carry out themselves and came up with a shortlist of 10 key
items:

* **Allen keys **– ideally long, T-shaped (as these give the best leverage
and are easier on the hands) and ball-ended (for use in tight spaces). Our
next preferred option is Y-shaped, followed by the standard L-shaped type.

* **Bottom bracket tool **– with solid engagement and good leverage.

* **Chain tool ** – with smooth action.

* **Cassette removal tools**

* **Chainring bolt tool**

* **Cable cutters** – for changing gear cables, which can be a chore if you
ride regularly through winter. Look for rounded blades as these clip the whole
way round the cable, giving a clean snip.

* **Pedal spanner**

Ball Clasp Nose Ring removal?

Hey,

I have searched the rest of the questions on here but haven't found anything that really answers my question so going ahead with my own.

I had my nose pierced in Oct 2007 so its been 7 months now and am interested in changing it. Its a ring with ball clasp that clips into the ring.
My question is about removing the ball. I know I can go to the piercers but in the long run this is not that useful especially if I want to change it more often. I've seen a device used to make this easier and was wondering if anyone had experience with them.

Also I was wondering about how difficult it is to put the ball back in.

Thanking you in advance for your help

I've never used that device.
I've been able to pull the ball out with needlenose pliers, but putting it back in is a b*tch and almost impossible.
Taking it out yourself is hard- you might want to get a friend to help or if nothing else just go to the piercer- they might not charge you anything.
