Workstand is most used - but I do love my torque wrench for some reason knowing each bolt on the bike is done up to the exact torque is somehow very satisfying indeed.

Floor pump. It gets used every week, and being able to pump up both tyres in 30 seconds is very, very convenient.

i think we have a 1/4" torque wrench and i know we have a 3/8" and 1/2" one of which i will never trust now after it sheared an engine head bolt because it never clicked and it didn't feel well too tight

problem is we don't have any allen key socket bits and virtually everything on my bike is an allen bolt

I've no idea but I always like new uses for old inner tubes. Off the top of my head, if you take a pair of scissors to an old tube, tie a knot in the end further from the valve, pour oil in the open end and then seal both ends with cable ties, you might be able to use it as an oil applicator for awkward places. With a slightly opened valve, dabbing the valve end onto the spot to be oiled, while giving the tube a very light squeeze, it might work. Alternatively, you might end up with an oil-drenched bike.

It attaches to your right forearm, valve pointed outwards. It can then be used as a handy inflictor of scrapes to paintwork of close passing cars?

Mine would be my Allen keys, simple set but handy to have to do various little jobs.

I know, it's spare air for toping up your tyres
