Hello From Filzer
www.filzer.com

Just wanted to add a little to this discussion on bike tools.

Our goal is to provide high quality tools with great value. We strive to have the best quality/value bike tools on the market.

We think that we have a great line to tools...but hey check them out yourself...and note we have updated lots of our tools over the years - our first set of tools were good - but they are much better now!

Our cone wrenches (since they thin) and pedal wrenches (since they are usually abused) are made of K5 steel (50-55 hardness), 40% stronger than Cro-Moly (40-45 hardness). The original ones were made of CrMO and we updated the materials in 2009.

Our other wrenches are made of CrMO - which we feel is a good balance between strength/hardness and value.

We just came out with a new chain cleaner http://www.filzer.com/products.php?id=150 that is a big improvement over our previous model - more brushes, less spillage, less jamming for all around better cleaning of your chain.

Our tools are designed in-house (in Canada) and we have them manufactured in high quality factories in Taiwan.

Also we are now starting to sell goods on Amazon.com and you can find most of our items at MEC.

If you have specific question you can contact us via our website - we always reply (but if you type in your incorrect email address then we can't get back to you...).

Cheers.

Phil
