EB17: Birzman tool boxes go pro, bikepacking bags get new options & more

Birzman’s Studio Toolbox Plus Edition upgrades the standard (but still mighty impressive) Studio Toolbox. It contains 37 tools (list below), with key upgrades on high torque and cutting items so they’ll last longer.

Plus Edition wrenches (pedal wrench, chain whip, etc.) are heat treated hardened steel, as are the pliers and wire cutters.

Retail is $500, and you can see all of the tools in the top pic. Full kit on the left, wrenches are in the tray sitting on the right (on top of the Essential kit).

The Essential kit comes in at $178 and is designed to have the basic stuff any home mechanic needs:

Both available around the beginning of November.

A Roll-up handlebar bag with dry bag and stem-mounted water bottle bags join their recently introduced frame bag bikepacking collection. Prices are TBD on these, but they should be available by end of year.

Also shown earlier are their Uncage Side-Entry bottle (center, $10.40), the Uncage Full bottle (right, $8.91) and a CO2 Repair kit (left, $31.19) that bolts to the bottom of the Side Entry cage to keep things securely at hand.
