No.... you should always use the proper tools for the job! I work with my hands and I am here to tell you that unless it is an emergency or the situation absolutely calls for it, I always use the correct tool.

They didn't make a proper tool for what I needed, so I made this for work. It's called "a useful invention"

But does it come with a genuine motorcycle grip? No.

How am I suppose to make motorcycle noises at work without a real grip?

And this cutter cost me NOTHING. The company gave me the knife, the grip came from a friend.

So neener neener neener.

Dude, I bought enough warranty/maintenance plan stuff on that thing that I shouldn't even have to know which end of a wrench to turn.

And I do have some of my own tools, ya know

I don't know where I got 22mm from..

Tracy, the tool that came with my bike to tq the axle is essentially a nut with a ridge on it. Works on the same principal as I stated earlier.
