Keep the channel locks at home and bring Vice Grips. I like the needle nose model. But if you need to move a big nut, screw, whatever, the standard model will do the job. Also can serve as an emergency shift lever, brake lever, clutch lever, or toenail clipper. Robert Wichert P.Eng.

OH YA, Vise grips (Locking pliers) even helps if Clutch cable breaks. Just use your R. foot to "pull" in.

Victorinox "mechanic" model SAK. It has an awl (for making holes in stuff like broken plastic panels to be "sewn" back together with zip ties), Bottle opener, can opener, two flat blade screwdrivers, phillips screwdriver, tweezers AND... the most used part of the one I have - a small set of pliers. -eddie

Standard old Leatherman, never leave home without it. I also carry a Crescent adjustable wrench 8" which will handle axle nut duty and stout enough to be hammered (God forbid) should the extra torque be required, and a 1/4" drive set of metric sockets, Metric multi Allen wrench tool, multi-tip screw driver (never get into the OEM toolkit, but keep it onboard.) And a folding pruning saw. Tire tools kept separate w/tubes and air pump. Zip ties/tape in the survival pack. -----Original Message----- From: eddie Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 2:47 PM To: KLR650 list Subject: Re: [DSN_KLR650] Real Men need Chanel-locks AND....

You're obviously a man of taste, Eddie. Could you recommend a fine Cognac ? Now if I could find some Japanese spec Philips bits to add to my Chapman set.

And if you are going to get a Vise-Grip, make sure you get the old USA made unit. The new China sourced ones are made of soft steel and the teeth go away the first time you put any pressure on them. BTW, Knipex "Channel Locks" will act sort of like a vise-grip. If you push on the rear handle, they just get tighter.
