PSA: hit 500 bottom bracket overhauls on my bench log and the number that actually shocked me was the tool bill | Bicycle Mechanics - Freelance Forum - The Community for Independent Professionals
500 overhauls and the tool bill is what got you? Not the wrist pain, not the smell of old grease that never leaves your nose, not the customers who swear the creak was there before you touched it. Nope, it's the tools. Gotta respect the focus though. Pretty sure the Park Tool catalog has a secret page that only unlocks after you spend four figures, and it's just a guy laughing at you.
