Cassette Tool Updated

Call this Bike Parts 2.0, this tools makes things a bit easier and less bulky to the alternative.
Normally you’d need a three-pronged attack to remove the cassette: a cassette locking tool, a spanner and a chainwhip. The Shimano-compatible Next Best Thing 2 does away with the need for these heavy tools by using the derailleur hanger as a leverage point.
Once anchored in place, which can be a little fiddly, it’s a matter of turning the pedals to loosen the lockring. As long as the lockring hasn’t been overtightened initially – best to check before setting off on tour – it’s a clever solution to every tourer’s nightmare.

Victorinox - Rescue Tool - Knife of the Year 2007

Got to love it when old is new again. Victorinox (aka Swiss Army) the original multipurpose tool has done it again by winning the International Knife Award, Rescue Tool was picked among 77 knives from 34 exhibitors coming from 9 countries.
Vicorinox sort of missed the beat in the late 90 with the makers of Leatherman and Gerber making a name for themselves with the multipurpose tool. Now they are great at that and most people that do any sort of outdoors activity has one but look at the older generation and see what they might have laying around bet it is a Swiss Army Knife.
What is nice about this Rescue Tool is that it is small can work with your Ski's and Snowboards. The Rescue Tool has been developed by Victorinox in close collaboration with rescue and safety services. It can be operated with gloves and has luminescent handles. Crate opener and one-hand blade can be locked in place through Liner Lock.
Get back to the original. Victorinox (aka Swiss Army)

Let there be light, PentagonLight

Now you could run out and get the SureFire but does it come with a retractable sharpened spikes around the bezel that protrude outward only when the spike protector is lowered, I don't think so. Not sure that justifies the $129.00 it is however a selling point. Now the Surefire lights are tough to choose, there must be 50 lights to choose from. Hey just light the night and blind the person that is coming at you!
When did flashlight become a big ticket item, the ones at the Army/Navy store work just fine at $12.95. Your choice one is a defense weapon the other shines light.
