IceToolz

[Scilly Suffolk]

Does anyone have any experience of them?

I seem to remember seeing them recommended here and there, but on the face of it the price seems to good to be true (at least compared to Park Tool, who are my benchmark).

This does the job of this and this; and I've found the IceToolz er... tool for less than a tenner, whereas the Park Tool er... toolz are just shy of £30!

Although I'm skint I see cheap tools as a false economy, so before I lay my money down I was hoping someone could let me know what the quality is like.

Thanks.

My wire cutters are Ice toolz, they do or did the job (I say did because I've lost them ) I can't really compare to Park as I'm too much of a tightwad but they work for me and weren't priced to dear or too cheap in the lbs.

I have IceToolz Chain Whip, Cassette Lock Ring Remover & a Chain breaker and they have all lasted a good few years now

That's what I was hoping to hear, thanks!

the few icetools tools I've got all seem pretty good, especially for the price.

I bought the crank puller and it arrived today: big disappointment.

Obviously cheaply made as soon as I opened it: the tolerances are poor (the handle is a poor fit on the extractor and the handle extension is loose) as is the finish (is that an attempt at chamfering the edge or has someone just blindly bashed it).

I bent the handle first time I used it.

I was right to be concerned that the price was too good to be true.

I have had unhappy experiences with Ice toolz (cassette tool didnt fit properly and slipped, chain whip was OK, but won't last, crank puller is crap, all made of rubbish quality materials), so Park tools all the way again for the Lardster.

With crank extractors - has to be Park for square taper and the early splined BB's. Any socket wrench can refit square taper.

I've got an Ice Tools cable cutter and it's very good though.
