ThePritchett,

Lookin' damn good. How does it feel? Does the thinness of the metal cause hand pain when cranking hard? Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks! If you've ever dealt with Park Tools' cone wrenches for adjusting loose-ball hubs, it's like that. I've not used it on a lockring yet actually... I should receive my new bike tomorrow. I had a friend measure the lockring on his bike and email me the dimensions. It may not even work! I'll report back on it's success.

To pad the handle area, I may wrap it with bar tape. Or I could mess around with Plasti-dip. I'll probably leave it how it is though. I just wanted something small and light that I could keep in a bag. I know I should never need a lockring tool while on the go, but the pedal/axle wrench will come in handy. This tool and two allen wrenches will allow me to take care of anything that might happen on the road. I could certainly get by with carrying a normal box end wrench instead, but I needed a lockring tool and I like designing/making things.
