It looks like the elves in Silca’s workshop have been hitting the overtime with a couple of new products, just in time for the holidays. 

This holiday season, give the gift of tools that can be treasured for a lifetime with Silca's Custom Engraved Hex Wrenches.

First up is the company’s T-Handle Folio ($185). This kit has ten professional-grade tools that come nestled in their own hand-sewn, waxed canvas pouch; it includes 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10mm hex and T25 and T30 wrenches. All the wrenches feature a sliding cross bar with three detents to position the handle right where you need it for maximum leverage or precision, and to keep the handles from sliding all the way out of the wrench. Of special note, the 8mm wrench is optimized for pedal removal and the 10mm wrench handle is long enough to reach the bolt in the middle of Campy Ultra-torque crank spindles. 

Hanging Silca T-Handle Folio

The T-Handle Folio is designed to hang securely on horizontal elements.

The pouch has individual slots for each tool to keep things organized, and can roll up into a small package for compact toolbox storage. It's designed for easy transport, and securely drapes over and fastens to any horizontal element such as a top tube, bike stand, or car door, to put the set in reach while in use. 

Silca Tattico Mini pump

The Silca Tattico features a rubber hose to making pumping tires easier.

The Tattico Mini-Pump ($55) is a mini-pump with a trick up its sleeve. When collapsed, the Tattico is 9.5 inches long (for comparison, Silca's Pocket Impero is 8 inches in length), but extends to over twice that length for use, and has a cleverly hidden hose inside the inner barrel to connect the pump to your wheel. This means it can move bigger amounts of air faster than smaller designs, but still stow neatly in a pack or pocket, or under a waterbottle cage with the included plastic clip.  The 6061 alloy barrel has machined knurling on the ends for grip, and is claimed to be good to 100psi. The chuck at the wheel end of the hose is Presta- and Schrader-compatible.
