3-Way Allen Wrench & Allen Keys
With the hexagonal cross section, a 3-way Allen wrench will cover nearly every bolt you have on your bike, while the keys will work where the 3-way Allen wrench won’t. Whether you’re doing routine maintenance, adjusting your brakes, or working on your drivetrain, these tools are must-haves.
Cassette Lockring Remover & Crescent Wrench
The cassette lockring remover will help you remove and clean your cassette. You’ll use the crescent wrench to get extra leverage on the cassette tool.
Chain Tool
Having a chain tool makes it easy to remove your chain when you need to replace it or fix a broken chain.
Flat-Head & Phillips Screwdriver
Screwdrivers are always good to have. On a bicycle, one of the reasons you’ll need a screwdriver is to adjust the limit screws. The limit screws control the movement of your derailleur limiting how high or low it moves.
Needle Nose Pliers
Needle nose pliers are great for those tight little places where you can’t seem to fit your fingers.
Pedal Wrench
To take your pedals on and off, it helps to have a wrench to remove them with ease.

Most high-end bikes now have a few certain bolts that are Torx and 97% of the time they are going to be T25, so having this wrench on hand will be helpful.
Scissors
These come in handy everywhere whether it be for cutting bar tape or cutting a bash guard for your bike.
Wire Cutters
Wire cutters are a must when cutting your shifter cable and housing, and especially for zip ties.
