A Bike Tool Kit

Here are some essentials you'll want to have in your bicycle tool kit:

* Stamped steel wrenches with tire irons for handles.

* A 6-inch adjustable wrench, which works when the stamped-steel wrenches don't.

* A pocket knife, complete with an array of different blades.

* Needlenose pliers with a built-in wire cutter to cut cables and clamp a brake or derailleur cable.

* Pocket-size Channelock arc-joint pliers for gripping all sorts of parts.

* A repair kit for flat tires
