Just finished making a UBT order, and I was inspired by that last tool posting.  Can anybody recommend a good schrader head for floor pumps.  We don't use a compressor at the Bike Church (which is nice), but I haven't been able to find a good servicable chuck  since SKS (or whoever that was) stopped making their's.  (and the thread-on Silca's are no good for public use. the two-sided ones only last a week or so, and often don't attach w/  a hose clamp . . .)  

As we've run out of our old stock of disposible thumblock heads, I ordered the Amflo clip-on which looks like it belongs on a compressor, but we'll see. . .

is a tool really designed for fixed cup removal (similar to big bolt + nut "pinching" method, but actually engages with those  little flats), but would also work, I think, as an adjustable cup wrench (just without the bolt to hold it tightly on -- same problem as pretty much every BB wrench) ... this guy also makes just about the only cotter pin press that you can find anymore.

peace + bike grease,
