Tool Time - What's in your box?

Flare tool for brake lines. I'm pretty sure I have a bubble flare tool kicking around too which has a similar role with far more failures.

 

[Relax]

Line flaring set that's a easy one.

OK, but SAE or DIN?

I have one of these, last used o replace tranny lines on my pickup as there were no lines available mid 2001.

Kinda sad that many mechanics don't have or use this tool anymore.

Smaller than expected but ratchet to hex for an axle or swingarm pivot.

Correct. From the previous bike .

Made out of a apart plug socket.

1. Dont know.
2/3 as tool above, for large hollow nut. Probably steering stem or fork cap but could be swingarm.
4. Dont know (other than the obvious label)
5. Shims so someone doesnt pop your brake pistons out while the wheel is off.

Edit:
1 could be an overengineered coin to twist off a cap with a bit more leverage and reach than provided by a coin.

More ghetto tools.

That's a really good idea.

1. Yep, good guess. It's actually a Dzus button tool.



2. Lightweight and compact 30mm, ⅜" socket for the front axle. Good for the travelling tool kit.



4. A high tech, proprietary tool used to disengage the lower clutch lever and facilitate cable lubing. A lot of care and thoughtful engineering went into this one.



5. Yes, brake shims! Used for exactly the purpose you've described.
