I am only referring to the hand tools. You may have something totally different up there. Sears has another line that is a cheaper more home handywoman line too. I stay away from those.

The power tools or okay, but far from what they used to be.

Well, I went out to hold the rack up to the bike and see how it mounted... One thing led to another and I had it slapped on

. Relocated the signal lights to their original position... Too bad the dealer had moved em, cause now I got two nice holes in my fender! That's ok though, pretty sure it shaved an ounce or two off weightwise... Probably pick up one or two km'h extra!

Just kidding, the rack looks really good and I'm sure it will come in handy. Now, just have the tires to swap out. I would have taken some pics, but it's dark out. Twas only a one beer mod, not too shabby!

Oh, the 12mm hex key socket I bought was a "JET"... Dunno if they are any good but it has a lifetime warranty. Don't imagine I will be swapping the tires that often so it should be fine

That is good news, MIC.

I eagerly await the photographs!

I have lotsa Jet stuff that I've punished, and it keeps coming back for more. It's cheap, too.

Yup, don't think I have had any Jet stuff before... Not that I remember anyway. Looks to be well made, the fellow was telling me if I buy a set they are on sale, cept I only needed the one

. I'll throw some pictures up when I get the enduro tires on. It will look radically different
