This tool is good quality, and provided at a reasonable price. Like that a range of sizes are available which is good if you want to fill the gaps in your tool set. I initially struggled to find a suitable tool for taking the cap off of my Rockshox Pike in order to put bottomless tokens in. (I initially bought the official rockshox one which was about twice the price, and it was sent in poor condition / used by the shop-Mark Anthony Bikes - avoid these guys).
The colour on these tools looks fantastic! I am tempted to get the full set even though I may not need them, it would be a nice to have.
The fact that the tool is designed (I believe) to engage all the edges of the cap, reduces the edge stress on the cap (and tool) which helps in taking the cap off without causing any damage. I like this a lot. Forks are expensive.
Condition, delivery and service were excellent and I bought a few more items while I was here. Will use this site again for sure, and would like to see a few more tools available (whilst keeping the focus on quality).
Great, does the job. Looks cool on the workbench, but £12 for a bit of laser cut Aluminium feels a bit steep. But better than rounding your forks.
This works far better than using a socket that then marks or slips off the air chamber nut. Takes up no room in the tool bag.
Really good selection of top cap specific spanners. Much easier than rounding the heads off with a socket. I got the full set, as I've got a range of forks that are different sized. So far only used on my 2014 Pikes to add tokens, worked perfectly.
