I've wanted one of these for bottle cages after seeing it on seths bike hacks. Almost bought it until I saw the delivery date of April. Just put me off.

Not that I need them now, I'm just impatient. 🤣

I've got one of these which might also be of interest to folks who want the above

https://www.amazon.co.uk/SabreCut-MRSC01-Ratchet-Stainless-Professional/dp/B08S41VCZH/

Really small, maybe 3" long? So great when clearance is limited.

Bought a set without realising delivery date. Ah well, didn't really need, and it'll be a surprise present when they come!

@5lab I have a Bahco one I got from someone, very similar to the one in this set but with a female head:

I’ve wanted one of these for bottle cages

After getting pee'd off with my standard Wera stainless allen keys being too long for some jobs, I also bought the stubby version: great where there's little clearance such as bottle cage bosses. Didn't realise they existed!

It's giving me a September delivery date at the cheaper price.

^^I think a lot of people are buying them mate, initially the wait was a couple of weeks I'm sure.

This is exactly what I needed the other day with a pesky bottle cage. Again, didn't really know this kind of thing existed! Although, I am allergic to cheapo tools no matter how much a "bargain", so I have located & ordered the good version instead 😃: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Profile-Stubby-ratcheting-Screwdriver-ENGINEER

(bonus, this one is ratcheting too!)

The little micro-stubby reversible screwdriver at the bottom of the page is equally useful, I’ve got one after noticing one of the workshop guys I worked with had one, and used it a lot.
It’s a bit easier to use, I think, because it’s just that bit deeper so you get better grip, which is an issue I find now, with the arthritis in my finger joints.
Only £5.99, so cheap enough to get one along with the ones Poopscoop posted.

@cerrado-tu-ruido that's very similar to the Bahco ratchet I was talking about, mine doesn't have the padding though. Very handy size.

I saw a picture of this on Brian Park’s (Pinkbike bossman) insta stories from the Taipei cycle show this week and have been searching the net for it since. Looks like such a great little tool, not cheap though.

the ones I ordered on Tuesday were delivered today, despite originally having a date out in April time.

they seem surprisingly good quality for the price.
