Do you really need a BMX-specific toolkit… Unior Tool thinks so. Building on the popularity of their other recent Pro, Master & Home Kits, Unior’s bike tool workshop put together two portable all-in-one toolkits to fix everything on your small-wheeled singlespeed race bike on track day.
The idea is simple, some of the folks at Unior race BMX bikes, and the racing scene is booming in Europe. And a lot of the racers are fixing their own bikes. Yet no one really makes any good comprehensive toolkits for BMX. Instead, most riders cobble together a mix of tools to keep their bikes in top shape, and cart them around in whatever cheap toolbox, bag, or plastic bucket they already have.
Unior figures that because of the limited number of specialized tools you really need to fix & tune BMX bikes, these high-quality 100% made-in-Europe kits won’t be prohibitively expensive. Think Home Kit pricing not Pro Kit pricing.
The Pro-level 45-piece BMX Kit comes in the same waterproof, bombproof locking plastic case as the Home Kit (same construction as the Pro Kit & Master Kit), with pre-cut foam to keep the shop-quality tools organized.
The 18-piece BMX Tool Roll pares it back to the traveling essentials, still at the same high quality, inside a simple roll organizer with plenty of extra pockets to add other tool favs.
Mark these CNC-machined red ano sockets down as niche shop tools to use with the Unior Crow’s Foot, but welcome additions for those who need them. The new $55 / 45€ Unior Shimano STePS lockring tool is made for securing chainrings on the latest Shimano ebike cranksets. And the $43 / 41€ Unior Shimano Direct Mount lockring tool will secure the rings onto the latest generation M9100, M8100, M7100 & M6100 1x mountain bike cranks.
Besides the Unior BMX tools, last week we already shared Unior’s new professional bike shop-level Pro Wheel Truing Stand with magnetic thru-axle adapters and some nice color-coded 4-sided die-cast alloy butterfly Spoke Wrenches. Find the full details here. Now you can build those premium custom wheels in style.
