Lots of chit chat and mouth drops over @kateplusfate 's bolt upgrade. Sorry to spoil this for some of you... the urban legend of @bbcopeland hand dipping each one in 30 different glasses of wine to get the perfect color for @kateplusfate is not true. These beauties were done by the crew @betterbolts ... hop over and give them a follow. A few of of our Tool-E Ambassadors have these on their riders bikes and are loving them! #Repost @betterbolts @download.ins --- Insanely proud to have Better Bolts be apart of this build. Good luck to @kateplusfate and @bbcopeland we will be cheering you on from home 🇺🇸 📸@andyvathis https://www.instagram.com/p/CF8J3uUlXCZ/?igshid=1jeu6taeiehsl

A tour of our newest Tool-E Army members rally car box. #Repost @ken_butch @download.ins --- On the topic of @toolboxwars, here’s a quick video of my @nanukcases 945 complete with integrated tool storage and lighting! The Milwaukee M-12 powered LED lights work great for working at night, the sockets actually stay where I want them to stay, the wrenches are super easy to access and it’s all kept nice and safe by the most rugged and lightest case on the market! This thing is a party in a box and I’m pumped to travel the world with it! #nanukcases #tool_e_army #toolboxwars #hoonigan #automotive #rallycar https://www.instagram.com/p/CFdE5uRF-hG/?igshid=1flo6vkamdj3q

Welcome to the #tool_e_army @ken_butch . Ken is our first non bike mechanic #tool_e_army member. Plus, he is our first ever Tool-E with a @nanukcases inspired look. He is the @hooniganracing shop manager for @kblock43 and an ambassador for @509inc.

It is truly a honor to add him to the army!

Give him a follow to check out the toolbox he uses worldwide and to also see some rad snowmobiling.

Terrific job!! . #Repost @philiphubs @download.ins --- Proudly presenting my bicycle tool box. I’m just an amateur mechanic. As much as I love going out for a ride, I love working on bikes. In my youth, I worked at bike shops and spend the earned money on parts. Now I have an office job and service my vintage and new MTBs - as well as my friends’ and neighbors’ bikes. Phil’s pop-up bicycle service garage is growing a fan base. Instead of a service fee, I collect donations for the @worldbicyclerelief The box is an @auerpackaging protective case. It holds old tools with some new additions: the @weratoolrebels Bicycle Set 3 and Hex key set. The @knipex_official pliers wrench is great and saves carrying larger wrenches. The green container is filled with Caramba‘s invisible glove cream. Good stuff! The Wera torque wrench is great. I bought a Gedore adapter from 1/4” socket to a bit holder. The pedal wrench from @powerplustools was a real bargain. It’s also where I got the foam layers from. All that I want quick access to is in the lid or on the top layer. There is still space. Got suggestions on what to add? Noteworthy is the little boom box in the lid. I love music while working on bikes. As that protrudes out, I needed to cut out the first layer to close the lid. I found a soap dish the size of the space. It’s for screws and little parts while working on stuff. It’s magnetic - I glued magnets under it. All the small parts and a @srammtb bleed kit pro went on the bottom of the box. It also holds an electric pump and the power adapter for it and the little boom box. I wanted the ribbon handles of the layers to look good and stay in place. The foam isn’t really stable and bends so I added 3mm PVC boards for stability. I used straight-headed spokes as pull out holders for the top layer. With the wings made from simple shelf holders, I can have all three inserts side by side. Need more stickers! Some are recent, some are vintage. Most are bicycle related, others are dear to my heart. . . Thanks once again @timcarlssonmtb @steveyladd @dabhiz_mtb @dvo_newzealand for the tips & advice and @toolboxwars for the inspiration! . #bicyclemechanic #weratoolsna https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFxI0Yleag/?igshid=n7gbo9v4uha0
