Seems like a whole lot of extra rolling mass to power?

tires are very light.

I guess I was imagining my mtb tires scaled up, they aren't particularly light. But I'm sure I've missed out on lots of improvements with it gathering dust the last few years. How do they handle?

made a spanner for my collet chuck to get it on/off the spindle.
the ER32 collet set came with a spanner for the collet clamp ring only.

Good job! This inspires me to make one for my table saw as I bought it used and came with no
blade changing tool.

One of my last bikes as a kid was a Raleigh English Racing Bike. It had thin tires and a 3-speed shifter.
I took it to a service station once to air up a tire. Being a bit ham-fisted with the air hose, I exploded the tire in my face. I was covered with black powdered rubber and bits and was psychologically scarred for life.
I had to carry the bike about 10 blocks to get it back home.

I still can't air up a tire without worrying about it exploding.

A friend of mine when I was very little (as apposed to older and a bit short ) blew up his BMX tire at the petrol station , it was sooooo loud.

Second pressure explosion I saw was in a bike shop , guy asked to use our pump , he was pumping a bit enthusiastically we told him to keep an eye on the guage and not go over the tyre rating, he proceeded to swap to the other tyre, we suddenly saw enthusiastic pumping going on and all shouted STOP nooo nooo Stop , to which he didn't respond then his rim split all along the spoke holes with quite a bang. one and only time I have ever seen that in person (luckily) .

Have exactly the same problem, good idea.

This was a simple one hour morning project and patterned off the red handled
Craftsman table saw wrench as seen in the photo. I didn't have much in 1/8
inch steel laying around so milled out a washer using a rotary table on the mill
and attached a 1/8 x 3/4 piece of cold roll material welded on with 7018AC rod.
After some grinding and filing and wire brushing I applied some orange paint and called it good. A big thanks to TWO VOLTS for the inspiration!

My two saws are in a few miles apart presently so it made good sense to have one
blade wrench with each saw.
