    How are the Silca ones? I've been looking at some of their products (saddle bag and travel case) so it'd be good to know - for starters - how their tools measure up.

    The Silca ones are nice, ive measured them with callipers and they're quite consistent and well sized, I havent used them much but they still look good. I dont think theyre worth the money by a long shot. On the other hand theyre something nice to own and theyd def make a lovely present for someone

    Ive got a silca seat roll too, I think its well made but the stuff gets wet, it looked great when brand new but a bit of road grime and it very quickly lost that boutique edge. Its a posing pouch.

    Even your Workmate puts mine to shame! Mind you, it is 30+ years old, and just about completely clapped out.

    Wonder if the current model would be as durable...

    here are some presses, does anyone have one of the abbey presses?

    here is my stuff, the bits to the left are frame linkage standoffs, some spacers, some over axle bits and a hope BB kit. The red one behind is pretty much good for all press fit bottom bracket standards, cups or bearings. the one at the back is where it all started, a park tools basic press
