Believe it or not, yes ! They (PB tools) do custom colours.

You can have your allen keys powdercoated to your own personal colour choice, so they don't end up in other people's tool sets.

I can't fucking wait for my first loose bolt, I am hoping it's in Shorditch or Hoxton or London's famous London, people are going to point and shout "look at that man, he is using the rainbow, the very rainbow that god gives us, to adjust his seat post clamp, that's just incredible, I wish I were him, with those."

You know you are winning when your allen keys all have their own individual serial numbers, I have died and gone to allentopia.

You're nothing until you have one of those sticks for stirring paint in your shed!

This page says 500 for the screwdriver handles. So was reckoning it'll be pretty much the same!

I see where you are coming from (and maybe going to), but by the sounds of it you might be ok with the allen keys (?)

have sent them the following message..

Hi,

Please can you let me know if there is a minimum unit buy for a set of Allen Keys in either a customised colour, or a Company logo branded set?

Thanks in advance,


Can't have anyone challenging my reckonings! And as they're Swiss they should get back to me in less than an hour. Whilst remaining neutral.

Anyone up for a LFGSS allen key set?

Not LFGSS, but something a little less apparent, something a little more interesting/amusing.

'FUCK YOU, YOU FUCK - 8mm'

Or maybe a HTFU set ?

Or even 'It's 'fixed wheel' you cunt'.

Or a nice set of WAC keys ?

Am favouring 'It's "Fixed Wheel" you cunt' at the moment.
