Finally getting around to filling my P T BX-1.
Kinda playing by ear here.
Slowly finding dupes, trips, and quadruples of the most used tools from my shops
One garage, two distinct shop areas,
Someone gave me an awesome metal topped work bench and I reconfigured one shop area into two shop areas this summer.
Anyhow we do quite a bit of camping in 3 out of 4 seasons.
I can bring some bikes to work on or help other camper/riders with their bikes.
I’ll throw other tools in as I’m packing I’m sure.
I’m trying to avoid that though.
I always have extra stands to throw in the back of the truck, too.
Voila! Instant bike shop!

I’ve been lucky with my eBay purchases.
The gaps in my tools collection are closing.
I try to bring enough tools on my rides to fix random loose parts.
The box is for our camping trips when I can’t be at the home shop working on a bike.
I can enjoy camping and working on my bikes and the same time.

This rolling bike stand was made for one year.
The box is heavier than it looks.
I won a bid on the back pack straps designed for this box, but the seller backed out. ‘Nother whole thread.
But, I did buy this...

Just finished the box for the most part.
These are the bicycle specific tools.
There is also an old “Superb” bike tool box in the truck.
There are other general, crossover tools...wrenches, adjustable(monkey) wrenches, pliers, snips/nips, etc., in other boxes in the trailer and the truck.
There is room for the few lubes and greases that I use.
I have an air tank that has never left me without pressure.
Valve adapters take care of any valve disparities.
There are also numerous bike pumps here and there in the truck.
I also just modified a PCS-10 clamp to fit my traveling PCs-1 stand.
I won a low eBay bid on a newer, PCS-10 cam lock clamp that allowed me to cut 1” or so off the tail, and with some washes and a spacer, I was able to upgrade my old beater stand.
I’m looking to buy an eBay wag-5 portable wheel dish tool and maybe another derailleur hanger tool.
Just reminded myself to some multi size spoke wrenches.






Box only weighs 30lbs.!

You Tube

Can’t really beat that...and at that price!
I bought mine for really short $!
I have two other Park Tool tool carriers.
This box intrigues me the most.
Great youtube, too!

Again, short $s. With the wings, a great setup. Great for the walk in from the parking lot!

I’ve got a couple of these.

Thanks for sharing that link! Those are some beautiful tool boxes! I find it really depends on what your are going to be doing. I currently have the BX 2 and love it, however, I am thinking of going to the BX 3. I volunteer at a local charity that fixes bikes for the needy. You never know what bike you will be working on, modern, road, MTB, and type of brakes. So I need everything from torque wrenches to ratcheting box wrenches to headset to bottom bracket wrenches. So my box is jam packed, about 35 pounds with all the goodies! Most of those boxes are specialized for either road or MTB mechanics who are only fixing one style and brand of bike, in fact it looks like one might be dedicated to hydro brakes!

Another plus for any of the above tool boxes vs a standard one is a dedicated place for tools so when the inevitable person borrows one and does not return it you know!

But they sure look beautiful!
