Inside you’ll find 19 tools that serve 25 different functions.

What is it

While best known for its quality bike racks and workstands, Feedback Sports has made a recent push into the tool arena with a variety of useful offerings, including the Team Edition Tool Set reviewed here.

It all fits inside this handy and durable case that’s about the size of a laptop bag.

Inside this laptop-sized portable and durable TPU nylon coated zippered case are 19 tools with 25 total functions. (See the complete tool list below). Total weight is just a shade under 8 pounds, price is $250, and the case is designed to either hang on a workstand, or lay flat on your workbench, trunk of your car, or wherever you do bike repairs.

All the essentials are included, such as a pedal wrench, chain tool, various hex wrenches, steel core tire levers, cassette lockring and BB wrench, and even a dual-sided pick. There’s also some clever integration. For instance, the cable cutters also have a crimper, the cassette lockring/BB wrench can be used as a centerlock brake rotor tool, and the #0 Phillips screwdriver doubles as a Shimano crank preload cap tool.

Can’t believe we all used old-school chainwhips for so long…

Also many of the tools have over-molded handles that are styled after file tread bike tires that increase comfort and grip. And when you’re ready to expand your collection, there is additional tool storage that’s ideal for a T-handle set.

Mtbr’s Take

Whether you’re looking to kickstart a home tool collection, or want an inclusive kit to take on the road, the Feedback Sports Team Edition is a great option. The tools are well made, handle well, and look good. And the included case has a folding rod that holds it open whether hanging on a workstand or laid flat on your campsite picnic table.

As you can see from the list above, nearly all of the key tools are included. I especially love the cassette pliers, which are a giant leap forward from the old-school chainwhip. This kit is also very mountain bike friendly with the inclusion of tools such as a Presta valve core remover, rotor truer, and brake pad spreader.

Over-molded handles mimic file tread bike tires, increasing comfort and grip.

The only real miss is the lack of a torque wrench. Sure, a full-blown model with multiple settings and bits would bump price a fair bit. But why not throw in a 4mm hex that’s set at 5nm, which could handle many if not most cockpit and seatpost tightening tasks.

The two-ended pick is handy for opening up cable housing after it’s been cut. You can also use it to clean gunked-up screw and bolt threads.

Bottom line, this is a great bike tool kit that would make any home or traveling mechanic happy at the holidays. Hint, hint.
