TONS of useful stuff for us cycling enthusiast. i esp. like the real MAN saddles.....since i tend to prefer padded shorts to padded saddles. i once had a customer (male) who asked if we stocked saddles that he could hang his prostate through. i almost fell over in the floor laughing.

Now there's a guy with a prostate.
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

Finally found a photo of the thread's title tool.
This was a tool we used in my (now-closed) bicycle store. It worked with all fastener sizings, whether Metric for modern bikes, SAE for old American crocks, or Whitworth for BritBikes. We were able to toss all of the sockets, thereby saving valuable pegboard space.

The readings on the scale are not visible.
They are: Loosey-Goosey, Finger Tight, Thumb Tight, Pretty Tight, Real Tight, Real Damn Tight, %@!$# Tight, and finally, Stripped.

And just one swing functioned to drive off Dobermans while riding along country roads - kinda like playin' poodle polo.
Like the Stanley Locking Adjustable Wrench, this tool vendor only dropped by on the First of April.
