Cool Tool bicycle tool

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Welcome aboard mate

It is still by far the best cycle too out there imo

[J-sews]

It sure does seem to have a lot of fans out there

[into the blue]

I once almost lost mine to airport security and had to risk missing the flight to put it somewhere safe.

Same thing happened to me when I flew to Canada a couple of years ago (boy, were my arms tired!).
I was stopped at the security check and was told I couldn't board the plane with it (is it possible to do any physical damage with a Cooltool?).
I had to rush round like a fool, eventually finding somewhere that sold envelopes and I posted it back home before catching my flight.

Thanks for the welcome btw.

   I do the bad puns round here.

But you're new so I'll forgive you

At least you managed to get it home without having to sacrifice it to the security theatre

and welcome to the forum

Wow, old thread!  Yes, I still have mine from the 90s, before they started providing the 8mm allen key adapter.  I don't ride much these days but my cool tool is still in my tool bag for all riding...  Where else can you get an adjustable cone wrench!?

Since seeing this http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,33521.0.html I thought I'd search on here a bit more and found this. http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,27987.0.html
So add this here.

I'd seen one on ebay but missed it, same style as the one in the link above, it went for just under £10+P&P and didn't have a pouch. Another seller had some accessories for the Cool Tool, four types of spanner/wrench sizes, see attached. The one I got has a different pouch, single sided socket and no double ended bit. Are they rare then well here's mine.

And the pouch.

Any good I just thought it was an interesting tool, I paid £4.70 including P&P, here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200675025179#ht_500wt_1076

Hope this is okay, keeps it all merged ish
