Is there a place in Chicago that sells used bikes tools?

I need a set of cone wrenches and a SR2 parktool chain whip....a buddy let me use his and my god that that tool is genius.It makes
my chain whip look like a fan belt.

I'm trying not to pay reg price if I don't have to.

great place.

However, I have my own basement and my own tools......I'm slowly turning my basement into a mini bike building shop....i just need to replace some shitty tools.

Just take your bike to West Town Bikes. You can use their repair area (shop stands and all the tools you could ever want) for free or a small donation.

Just a small, polite suggestion: next time try posting a "WTB:" (Want To Buy) listing either in general threads, Chainlink marketplace and/or craigslist. My opinion on what went awry here was an implied (probably not intended) request for hidden "insider" knowledge which simply does not exist. That, or just trying to be too cheap (my own personal prejudice). My viewpoint is that the professional, long-enduring tools in the Park line (i.e. SR-2) are an incredible value already.

Excellent suggestion. I think that's a great idea for anything bike-related that you're looking to buy.
