Decided to do my own brake job yesterday. Picked up some pads on the way home from work. Let the bike cool a bit before proceeding.
Well would'nt you know it, I got 9 thousand different tools but never bought a 1/4" 12 point socket before. Had to make a run to sears to get a craftsman socket.
Geez ... it seems as though anytime I do anything I got to run out during the job and get another tool ....

 

But at least you get more tools, not such a bad thing,WR.

 

9,001

 

At least they had it in stock. When I went to buy one, (Sears), the salesman told me I'd
have to chase down a Snap-On guy. I found one at another Sears.

 

Count yer blessings. My Sporty's was telve point..But 10 mm.

 

Same thing today--I had a 12 point offset 1/4 box wrench that works fine on the pad bolts. Note that the bolt that holds the banjo and the caliper on are 12 point 10mm metric.

 

Dang....Mine tool set came with a complete set of 12 pt. Craftsman. Glad you got #9001, now you can call yourself a bike mechanic. LMAO.

 

I think it's a conspiracy between tool manufacturers and fastener makers to get us to buy more ****.

 

Even worse when you know you have it but cant find it.

 

Yep , and it isn't 'til you buy another that you find the one you were missing ! lol
