Ol Dirty Jose G's Product Reviews

Protec yo self but don't wreck your wallet

Rating:

The Good: Keeps the chemicals, grease, DOT fluid, and various oils off your skin.

The Bad: $47. 10 times the price of the same product in a different box

Overall: This is another item that needs to be in your box whether your in the shop or just wrenching in the lot at the resort. However, I will never buy these things with my own money. You can pick up the same pretty blue gloves but in a white box from any hardware store for less than $5. You do need to save your skin from all the crap but you also need not kill your wallet in the process.

A Must have

Rating:

The Good: These little guys are nice, not just the T25 but all their torx drivers. Last a long time. I have yet to wear it out after several months in a busy shop.

The Bad: Not the spiffy blue?

Overall: With the newer components having a set of Torx drivers is essential for most mechanics. And rather than fuss around with separate bits and a driver that always get lost or a cumbersome multi-tool I'd rather use these individual bad chickens and keep em on my bench at all times. More and more bike parts are going torx, so you'll need em sooner ot later

Good but expensive

Rating:

The Good: These things are super handy. Keeps you from doing a repair then searching over your crowded bench for that bolt you just cant seem to find. Saves a whole lot of time.

The Bad: It's a bit more expensive then other generic versions, but hey, it's Park. The dish itself is nice but for 1/3 the price you can pick up the same thing at an auto parts or hardware store.

Overall: Great product, keeps people like me from loosing things. You can stick it anywhere; on the bench, on the stand, side of the tool box. But it's just expensive would rather buy 3 others in silver for the same price, but the Park will match all your other tools.

Get's the job done

Rating:

The Good: I got this for my home workshop since it was cheaper than a shop quality one. It does the job it's described to do

The Bad: The tip that contactins the hub could be a bit better. And the adjustment is a little slow you have to hand turn it where others will just slide or even have a built in spring.

Overall: It's good for a portable one and works fine. Just not really up to shop quality, and how often do you need a portable dishing gauge anyways??

Pretty bad

Rating:

The Good: Look nice, I guess

The Bad: These are pretty bad cutters. We ordered a batch for our shop. about half wouldn't cut all the way through a cable and housing right out of the box. When we called park, they said it was our fault for not adjusting them before use- which seemed a little ridiculous to me. The half that worked out of the box wore out within a few months.

Overall: I expected better out of park. Most of their tools are OK but these were bad and it was horrible for them to say we need to adjust their cable cutters. Stick with Felco or really anything else.
