Hi cruiseman i agree on all those tools the irwin stripper is the best ive ever used ,the jis screwdrivers i have the two vessel impacta drivers #2 and #3 for stubborn screws and a # 2 ball ratchet as well , picks are a necessity taking of old o rings or as you showed the pins on those clips , shop magnets are a god send lose a nut down in there and say goodbye to it unless ou have a magnet on a stick , i am always suss about some of these jacks were you see a 900lb bike (goldwing) up in the air ,i have a trolly jack that i use ,i think you covered almost all of the tools that a home mech will need i use a sidchrome torque wrench but i like the ones you yanks have that clicks when torque is reached anyway if the home mechs follow your advice they wont go wrong .
Nice video and like you i have the same pair of JIS screwdrivers with the serrated teeth on the tips of the head of the screwdriver. They work extremely well !! I also have the Irwin wire strippers. yes excellent tool!
Hi Cruiseman, I love your blog. I have e been riding Honda MC all my life. Started at age 16 I'm going on 71 and still riding. I bought my first Gold Wing in 1990 and sold it in 2014 to buy a new one. I for the most part have done my maintenance myself. I worked as Tool Maker for over 30 years. A year or so age I bought your maintenance videos for my 2014 GW. Very helpful. It would be very helpful to know how to download all of the videos for easy access and store them on a flash drive.
One day while watching your maintenance videos, I realized I needed some of these tools. I actually bought five of the tools you mentioned because you recommended them, and they came in handy doing the maintenance on my 2018 Tour DCT. I didn't know I could buy them from your site and help support you. I will need to look at your Amazon page and see what else I can use. Thanks for the video.
Thanks just ordered the torin jack ...it was exactly what i needed, easy to store away , and perfect to repair my front fork ...great video , thanks for the heads up ....forever grateful.
I put some of these on my Christmas list and gave my wife the link to these so you get credit for the sale. I did receive two items and my wife said she ordered them through the link I sent. :)
Hej Cruiseman If you have the possibility, not many have, your Torque Wrench could do with a calibration every now and then. My son is a Helicopter technician in the Swedish Air Force and one of his first learners jobs was to calibrate Torque Wrenches, so now I understand why it’s important. He always check my tools and give me well deserved criticism when I forget to lose my Torque Wrench.
Great video and excellent tools. Just added some on to my buy list. I have been using the JIS tools since you recommended and there is nothing better than them.
When I purchased your maintenance video series (*highly recommend), I also bought the JIS screwdrivers in multiple sizes and the speedbleeders you recommended. Most of everything else, I already own in my shop.
Hi Cruise man. I ride a Harley FLHTK but I really enjoy your videos. I like your bike too. Very nice. I took your advice & purchased the Bosch PS31 Drill. It is a great product & will help immensely should I encounter a screw/nail in my tires while traveling. Thank you for suggesting this tool. Your videos are informative & ride safe.
Hi Cruise Man!! I am new to the Honda Goldwing. My Goldwing though is not your ordinary Honda. Mine is a 2004 and has the Hannigan front and rear modifications. Do you ever video earlier Goldwings?
Late to the party, but here goes anyway. You DO NOT "back off the torque ring to zero". You adjust it to the lowest setting, which on a very few torque wrenches is in fact zero. Most - like yours - have a lowest setting somewhat higher than zero which doesn't even exist on your tool. Before offering a pro tip you should make sure it really is. Other than that the video is a 7 out of 10. You're welcome.
