Park Tool

I needed to cut down a few sets of carbon handlebars and thought it would be easier to do it at home with the right tools. I bought a Park tool Saw guide and this tungsten saw blade and went to work. The first bars were a try it and see, and to my surprise I had no issues. The other bars went fine after that. Just make sure you use tape to mask where you want to cut. I used red electrical tape because it;s easier to see when the bars are in the saw guide.

This stuff is really strong. It does work as you'd expect it to.

I have two minor gripes, though. First, it will leave scratches on whatever part you spread it on (e.g., the seat post) everytime you slide the part in and out. The scratched side is typically hidden anyway, so it doesn't usually matter too much, but it's something to be wary of.

Secondly, I wish this compound was available in a smaller-sized tube at a lower price, because I think it'll end up being a lifetime supply for me based on my rare, small uses of it.

If you need some extra leverage this is the product for you. I would think these levers are nearly impossible to snap. Nice handle area, nice build quality, and have a great tip on the end to get under the tire without damaging the tube.
