Depending on many variables and how old the bike is I have used both metric and standard sizes. As always I use this site more then others because your are really informative. Thanks again for keeping this site going, Bill Alex,

Any time I see the old Park Blue on a tool, I know it will work, and I paid a decent price for it. I do prefer to fabricate my own tools but sometimes that just won't cut it. As far as degreaser, I buy a can of odorless mineral spirits. A rag and a selection of brushes should be kept handy. Park tools are the industry standard.
