I believe it and some bits ran about $2.  I thought it would be handy for working on electronics projects (tight spaces.) and it has done a fantastic job in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>I know, this blog is not about electronics&#8230; So why do I mention it? Well I have two sets of wheels for my mtn bike, and the discs don&#8217;t line up. So I have to loosen up the caliper and adjust each time I switch wheels. Admittedly this is not very often, since one has my studs on it and the other are my regular wheels. But its a pain since if you use a T-Handle allen, L-Allen or a multi tool you can only turn the tool 180\u00b0 at max before the tool hits the spokes. Then you have to move the tool and the caliper moves a little in the process and you are starting over at square one again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_Jz4f840sc_c\/STMkCj16DTI\/AAAAAAAABWE\/zE6LwnfdgXs\/s1600-h\/100_2881.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_Jz4f840sc_c\/STMkCj16DTI\/AAAAAAAABWE\/zE6LwnfdgXs\/s400\/100_2881.JPG\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274599214980664626\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>Thats where this little thumb driver comes in extremely handy setting up disc calipers.
