Kink Survival Tool Kit

June 22, 2021

When it comes to working on a BMX bike, thanks to brands all using pretty much universal sizes, it doesn’t take many tools to build up a bike or maintain it. Kink have released their new Survival Tool Kit that has everything you need, without unnecessary pieces that you would rarely or ever use. The Survival Tool Kit comes with a breaker bar, socket extension, 17mm deep socket, 3 allen keys; 3mm, 5mm and 6mm sizes, and a 15mm pedal wrench (which many pedals can be tightened with a 6mm allen key these days as well). All of the tools fit into a small pouch that is easy to carry in a backpack or with you during a session.

The Survival Tool Kit is available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Kink worldwide now, or direct from the Kink Webstore for $29.99!
