Yeah, it seems like the PC-1 has a reputation for wearing out quickly if it doesn't just break, but the PC-7X's reputation is solid. I guess it has been out of production for years, but old stock keeps popping up for sale here and there so I thought I'd try one out.
Now I think I need a 3wrencho, too.

$23 shipped. There is a valid argument that it might be more cost-effective just to use more of the cheapest chains, but I prefer to buy quality when I can, y'know?

But anyhow, must haves from harbor frieght are:
Their floor jacks & jack stands, combination wrenches, sockets, and ratchets.
Can't go wrong with these, for now.

I beat the hell out of their winch back in my wheeling days when I would take my truck to the desert instead of my mountain bike. I'd definitely recommend it as well.

You have to buy more with them being only $10.99 to your door here:

I personally use a hein werner. Not everybody has that kind of cash to shell out for a floor jack however.
I also have that low profile jack from HF from my STI days. So far they've had the same track record as far as dependability and crushed bones go.

Fresh Garbage
Finalized the fit on my Straggler with a 90mm Velo Orange stem. I have never used a stem so short 
Goes with my VO handlebar and Lambda pedals

Finally got my hands on a pair of 26c Turbo Cottons. Oh so very stoked to see how this rubber compares to the Open Corsas they're replacing.
