I think everyone has their own way of using tools.
\nIt’s better to keep everyday tools to a minimum and use them efficiently.
\nI’m sharing this for people who use tools here at Decoboco or have used them here \u2605
\nBasically, I don’t want to lend out tools.
\nIf you don’t think about how you use them, bolts won’t loosen and tools break, so please think carefully!
\n\u2022 Don’t put tools on the ground! Always use a tray!
\n\u2022 Take all the tools you need in one trip!
\n\u2022 Return any tools you don’t need when you go back for something!
\n\u2022 Return them with the surface degreased! Just kidding.
\n\u2022 Wipe your hands like a chef! Tools get all greasy
 
\n
 
\nWhat’s really common is people who immediately grab the “3\/8 ratchet” and “3\/8 box wrench.”
\nEven though I keep saying don’t loosen things with a 3\/8 ratchet, almost everyone pulls this one out every time . . .
\nI only use a 3\/8 ratchet a handful of times a week.
\nI think it’s the most useful tool in tight spaces where you need to work back and forth.
\nBasically, don’t touch the 3\/8 ratchet here at Decoboco!
\nNext
 
\n
 
Use a one-piece T wrench.
\nBasically, tools that can use a box wrench have clearance in the socket, so there’s play.
\nSince the socket contact point is only touching at a spot, the feel is pretty rough, you know? . . .
 
\n
 
Generally, 8\u201317 mm is enough for Japanese domestic bikes.
\nOne-piece wrenches feel really GOOD.
 
\n
 
The 3\/8 T wrench gets used pretty rarely.
\nSpark plug changes, maybe somewhere a bit recessed? Really just a few times a week?
\nThat’s about it, thanks for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
