BONDHUS Hex Keys **WOW**

After completely destroying TWO no-name hex keys that I purchased on Ap Liu Street, I decided to treat myself to a set of high-quality, name brand hex keys.

If you look closely at the long, silver-colored hex key in the video, you can see that I twisted it along its long axis before I ended up rounding the head.  At a standstill and in total frustration, I cranked up google and looked for a 2019 hex key review:

After exploring the different optionsm I elected to go for the BONDHUS Hex Keys #22199, because it looked affordable and offered both Imperial and Metric keys in one low-cost purchase.  I think each key ended up costing around a half dollar or so, which seemed good to me.

Approaching the motorcycle with some trepidation (after all, if the Bondhus failed - what then would I do?) I was able to remove the remaining bolts in the handlebar risers and get the handlebars off!  Fantastic!

So I have to say that I am very pleased with the BONDHUS Hex Keys.  They proved up to the task when TWO other sets failed miserably.

Highly recommended!
Here's a video of the BONDHUS Hex Keys in action....

Amazon Unboxing (2019-11-26)

In one of my first Amazon unboxings, we look at the BONDHUS Hex Keys that I bought as response to destroying TWO cheap-o hex keys from sets that I had previously bought at a discount store, along with a digital tire pressure gauge to help us quickly and accurately check our tires.

The BONDHUS Hex Keys are American made and come with a lifetime warranty.  Bondhus claims that they are made from top-quality steel, and, given the difficulty I am having removing the handlebar riser bolts of EZ-RIDER, I felt that purchasing a top-quality tool was now needed. So, I looked on google and found a couple of lists of TOP 10 Hex Key Sets (where Bondhus ranked as high as #2) and then went and found a set on amazon.com that was both comprehensive (Metric and Imperial included) and affordable.

To get our order over USD50, and thereby qualify for free shipping, we needed to find an inexpensive item for under USD10.00 that would be generally useful in our lives now and into the future.  Considering how many flat tires we have had in just the past year, I thought that the digital tire gauge pressure meter I found fit the bill perfectly, and it even came with BATTERIES INCLUDED!

Eeeek! Wasp Nests In My Motorcycle!

This video started off normally enough. I wanted to get the sprocket cover off of EZ-Rider so I could start to make an attempt to service the chain. It should have taken just a couple of minutes and a 5mm hex key... But, as with everything related to EZ-RIDER, it got complicated FAST! Someone had mounted an air horn on the bike at one point in its past, and the mount proved to be the trickiest part of this little project, because the nut that they had used as a spacer had me completely fooled. I thought it was a legitimate nut, and kept turning and turning it - with nothing to show. Eventually, the penny dropped and I figured that the nut was just there as a spacer, so I got a pair of pliers out and turned the VERY STRANGE bolt out of the sprocket cover - after struggling with getting the air horn out of the way! The air horn deserves a complete video of its own. It's ridiculously long and BENT in a curve, AND has a scallop taken out of it to fit beside the frame! Wow! Whoever put that in had a good time! I *love* it! I will do everything I can to make sure it goes back into service, but perhaps in a slightly more MMTM approved way! Once I got the sprocket cover off of EZ-RIDER, I discovered a broken lens inside of it from...a car taillight? I dunno - the lens is RED, so I wonder what part of what vehicle got in there, and HOW it got in there? Last, but certainly not least, I discovered a bunch of MUD WASP nests inside the cover. Thankfully, the nexts were empty and I didn't have to contend with any angry wasps! But their nests were still there!
