Review: The Park Tool dag-2.2 is a relatively new addition to my cycling related tool kit, but it has quickly become one of my favourite tools, and also one that I should have purchased many years ago.

There are several cheaper versions of this tool on the market, which I am certain sure are equally as good, but I had my heart set on the Park Tool version. Sharing the cost between a trusted friend, is also a superb way of buying one, as they aren't on the cheap side of things.

It is easier for me to share a clip of how to use it, than have me trying to explain it, but what I will say is that it takes all of the guess work and frustration out gear selection issue. A tool that I would now not want to be without.

Looks good. Sharing costs is a great idea too, I’ve got so many tools that I barely get any use out of (headset press, wheel truing tool etc) that cost a fair bit to purchase. Sharing that eases the pinch a little!

I don't suppose you've got a Shockwiz I could borrow?

I have but it’s not something I like to let out of my sight!!

So the actual answer is no...

Guess it depends where you are.....

Park Tool dag-2.2

Purchase decision between the Park Tool DAG 2.2, the Wolf Tooth Pack, and the holy grail, no expense barred Abbey Bike Tools HAG. Leaning toward the Park Tool DAG because of the helpful videos online. Any advice as to which one I should buy?

Purchase decision for my 2021 Specialized Turbo Levo Comp FSR, between the Park Tool DAG 2.2, the Wolf Tooth Components Pack Hanger Alignment Tool (Thru-Axle or Quick-Release?), or the Abbey Bike Tools HAG. Leaning toward the Park Tool DAG because of the helpful videos online as I’m a novice mechanic. Any advice as to which one I should buy?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Last week I got a copy of the Park Tool.
It is the same square section design and is branded Ztto. It is reasonably priced, well made and worked well for checking and adjusting the hanger to a very fine limit (I was being really fussy with that!).
I followed the same Park videos for guidance but as I'll only be using it for occasional home use, I didn't think I needed the Park.
Hope that helps.

Appreciate the tip! $48 is cheaper that $160 Abby HAG I’ve been looking at. Knowing I can follow Park Tool video is the biggest selling point for me.
