Upgrade your tool box with these amazing deals
Black Friday is here and there are deals to be had on a range of tools and maintenance products from brands such as Park Tool, Topeak, Pro, Silca and even Abbey Bike Tools.
Read on for our pick of the best Black Friday tool deals and secure yourself a bargain.
Park Tool CT-3.3 – £34.99 £29.74 (save 15%)
There’s no room in life for poor-quality chain tools. The CT-3.3 is a professional shop-quality chain breaker that won’t break the bank.
It’s compatible from singlespeed all the way up to 13-speed chains and even works with SRAM FlatTop chains. Not all chain breakers are compatible with FlatTop chains because the pin sits in a slightly different location.
The tool has an investment cast steel body with a comfortable handle and the driving pin can be replaced if it ever breaks. The only thing the tool won’t do is peen Campagnolo chains.
Park Tool 8mm Hex Tool HT-8 – £10.99 £7 (save 36%)
It’s worth having long-handled 6, 8 and 10mm hex wrenches in your toolkit for removing stubborn pedals or crank bolts, rather than using a multi-tool, where you won’t have as much leverage.
Wiggle has a great deal on this 8mm variant, the most common size you’ll find on pedals or crank bolts.
Park Tool Ratcheting Metric Wrench Set MWR-SET – £149 £106 (save 29%)
Although most bolts on a bicycle are hex or Torx, you still get the occasional metric bolt too, for example on pedals, mudguard mounts, some saddle bolts or hydraulic disc brake compression nuts.
This set comes resplendent with a full set of wrenches from 6mm to 17mm, with an open-end and a ratcheting box-end.
The ratcheting end will save lots of time compared to having to remove and reinstall the tool in the correct position.
Park Tool Home Mechanic Floor Pump PFP-8 – £54.99 £40.99 (save 25%)
This no-frills pump is a tried-and-tested option from the Big Blue brand and is not only compatible with Presta and Schrader valves but also Dunlop.
The stand has a steel base with large foot pads and Park Tool says it’s equally at home in the garage, workshop or at the trailhead. You can rebuild it too if you ever need to because Park carries spares for it.
Topeak Smart D2 Digital Gauge – £32.99 £20.99 (save 36%)
Tyre pressure gauges help ensure you have the exact amount of air you are aiming for in each tyre, which is critical for mountain bike and gravel bike tyre pressures. They offer greater accuracy than a traditional track pump.
Topeak’s Smart D2 gauge can read up to 250psi and will work with both Presta and Schrader valves on mountain bike tyres, suspension forks and rear shocks.

Ryder Innovation Groove Tool Pro with Chain Breaker – £49.99 £29.99 (save 40%)
This multi-tool incorporates a range of 1/4in bits, as well as a chain breaker. It can be mounted on your bike with the included ‘Slyder Sleeve’ mount, or you can just store it in your jersey pocket or saddlebag.
There’s even room for a spare quick link inside.
Pro Bike Repair Stand – £149.99 £112.49 (save 25%)
A bike repair stand is a workshop staple for working on your bike and this option from Shimano’s subsidiary brand, Pro, is reduced for Black Friday.
The stand is constructed from lightweight alloy and is rated to carry up to a 30kg weight. The maximum height is 162cm and it folds down when not in use.
Silca Gravelero Mini-Pump – €90 €72 (save 20%)
Silca attracted many raised eyebrows when it launched this gravel-specific mini-pump, but there’s nothing stopping you using it on the road or trails (although be aware it tops out at 70psi).
As you’d expect from the revered brand, the Gravelero uses an all-aluminium construction and a retractable hose, extending to 243mm in length. It uses the brand’s tried-and-tested thumb lock, reversible chuck for a secure connection to the valve.
Abbey Bike Tools
Abbey Bike Tools never has sales and only discounts its tools by 15 per cent in the USA every Black Friday. 2023 represents the first time Abbey products are simultaneously reduced in the UK via Saddleback. Here are some highlights:
Abbey Bike Tools Hanger Alignment Gauge –£235 £199.75 (save 15%)
This derailleur hanger alignment tool is claimed to be the “last hanger tool you’ll ever have to buy” and we can attest to this with its superlative performance, thanks to its rotating head and class-leading construction.
Unlike cheaper offerings, there is virtually no slop in the head of the tool, crucial for perfectly straightening bent derailleur hangers.

Abbey Bike Tools Dual Sided Crombie Tool – £52 £44.20 (save 15%)
The Crombie cassette lockring tool essentially kick-started the brand and revolutionised designs with its elegant ‘why didn’t I think of that’ approach.
Although many carbon copies have been made since its release, the Crombie still stands tall thanks to its 17-2 precision-machined stainless steel construction.
It’s designed to pair with the brand’s WhipIt chain whip that stores conveniently in the Crombie’s handle.
And it’s proven plenty durable too, with technical writer Oscar Huckle including it in his High-Mileage Hero workshop tool round-up.
