Subject: Thank you Park Tools!

I would like to thank everyone at Park Tools for making the finest bicycle tools available.

I worked in various bike stores as a mechanic throughout the Vancouver area for 12 years, and Park tools were always as common as grease and spare inner tubes in all of the shops. I started purchasing Park tools as a result of using them on a daily basis. I left the bicycle industry about 10 years ago, but still maintained close contact with the industry - its like the Mafia, you just can't leave...

I finally purchased a TS-2 last night after not having the use of one for 10 years, in that time being relegated to use my old other brank of truing stand that was wobbly and useless for dish. I also picked up a TSB-2 at the same time.

Wow. I forgot how wonderful the TS-2 was. I've trued every wheel in my house - even the spares that I have sitting around. I can't express how much I appreciate all of my Park tools, from my PRS-3 right down to my 18-year old AWS-1 - the first Park tool I ever bought. The TS-2 is now certainly one of the centre pieces of my tool collection, and is sitting proudly on my workbench.

I'm wondering if there are any Park Tools stickers available; I'd like to buy a few for my kids' toolbox - which is already equipped with a retired Park folding hex key set.

Again, thanks to everyone at Park Tools!
