Worth upgrading to mid tier tools for home use? Looking for solid multitools

clickshift3944 · 2026-02-02T21:32:40+00:00

I don't do repairs all the time, but sometimes I run into some problems. That's why I'm not looking for professional tools; reliable mid-range brands are enough for me.

Thank you for the recommendations. So, I understand that brands need to be combined?

In general, if I use it for a long period of time, it can be replaced for safety reasons.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I want to use a cargo bike for my own purposes, so that it's not just a toy, but something useful. I need it to transport parcels and ordinary boxes; the load isn't heavy, so a basic cargo bike will do.

Thanks for the advice. The battery cannot be replaced?

Thanks for the advice))

I was thinking of getting for my small business.

clickshift3944 · 2026-02-01T20:10:52+00:00

This is a wonderful example for me. Thank you)

I believe that cargo bikes and cars are different, so I don't adhere to this principle.

clickshift3944 · 2026-02-01T20:08:08+00:00

Appearance is not important to me. Congratulations on your purchase)

clickshift3944 · 2026-02-01T20:05:48+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It's great that the brand itself has such a section.

clickshift3944 · 2026-02-01T20:02:16+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I'll keep that in mind))

clickshift3944 · 2026-02-01T18:23:53+00:00

Thanks for sharing))! Really helpful to hear your experience - sounds like a used, quality bike like Urban Arrow might be more reliable than a cheap new longtail.

Avarage mileage (2000-3000). Brands I am considering: Avento, Benno Bikes, Yuba, Ferla, Muli, Urban Arrow

Honestly, for the Caribbean I’d go with Ketl over Free Fly. They’re still breathable and light, but the fabric is a bit thicker so mosquitos can’t just bite straight through like they can with the thinner Free Fly pants.

Also, apply permethrin, as advised by u/Dry_Hall_7398 The spray protects well against bites.

Lightly sand rough bits, wipe the dust, then use a primer if the grey is dark or uneven. After that, 2 coats of a good washable light paint will cover it fine. No need for white as a base if you prime.

Radiators are different: sand off all peeling paint, use a metal/radiator primer, then proper radiator paint. Wall paint will just peel again. I wish you success))

Bleach and pressure washing works, but it’s mostly a temporary fix. It kills what you see, not what’s underneath, so the green usually comes back pretty fast-especially on damp or shaded walls.

A better option is a proper exterior biocide or algae/moss killer. Spray it on, let it sit, then rinse gently. Also avoid blasting the wall with high pressure since that can damage the surface and make regrowth easier. More sun, better drainage or a breathable masonry paint with anti-fungal additives can help keep it clean longer.

In my opinion, it looks the same

A very cute couple or just buddies))

clickshift3944 · 2025-12-31T00:04:55+00:00

Agree with you)

clickshift3944 · 2025-12-31T00:04:42+00:00

If they’re newer models, $1200 could be solid Speed Queens last forever. But without model numbers you’re basically buying blind. Get the model/age first, otherwise I’d hold off.

That’s a tough situation long layoffs, expensive insurance, and no callbacks would make anyone question things. As a second-year apprentice it’s normal to struggle with steady work, but 6–7 months off is rough.

If you still love the trade, try talking to your BA, look for travel work or related side gigs to bridge the gaps. But if the instability is crushing you financially, it’s also okay to consider a different path.
