List the tools you own (if you are willing to lend them out). PM`ing the person you are most likely to see next at dig days or rides should get you the tool you need. Between us now we must have a pretty good selection.

Mods - if it gets good feedback maybe `sticky` it.

Got a press if needed, remind me and I can bring to dig day / meet half way / give it to someone / you can drop round.

I upgraded to a proper one, because I'm a tool tart :oops:

http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produ ... milldrills

I now have one of these, small hobby lathe with pillar drill/ milling head. I can,t do milling as i don't have the tools and i am no expert with the lathe, however somtimes there are jobs which you can only do on a lathe.

Ideal for odd little specialist bits on the bike.

I have made this thread a sticky for future reference, if you have any odd or obscure bike (or non bike) tools you are willing to lend / share with other trailbuilders please post them up here.

Most of the usual stuff listed above but also have a Park saw guide for cutting steerers to length and SQUARE !!

I thought I'd maybe only use it once but have done several times and its fantastic.

I have added a freewheel chain whip to my cache.

Just remembered I've got a really nice Facom pin wrench.

Like this:

And one of the lads at work made me bearing drifts for changing the bearings on Hope XC and Bulb hubs. They're the business and the perfect size for driving bearings in and out of the hubs.
