Bike tools: Pedro's vs. Park

One thing I like about Park is they sell replacement part for their goods. I recently bought a replacement pin for a chain tool and I need to get a replacement head for my floor pump. Everything works fine on the pump except the head doesn't fully seal and sometimes doesn't automatically switch between Presta and Shrader, and the replacement head cost $3.
At this point in my “tool acquisitions”, I find that I must make of modify tools for special circumstances. Anyone who has dealt w/ adjusting Huret derailleur pulleys will know that most cone wrenches aren’t thin enough to be useful and are just a tad too large at the opening. Using a grinding wheel to thin out the wrench and carefully open up an originally smaller size makes for a perfect fit. I found myself making the famed HF cotter press as well.
