To make things easier for myself I've made up a few tools to help with particular areas of working on bikes.
On the left is something that helps hold the BB removal tool in place when using the big spanner. Remove nut, screw bolt into axle and it holds removal tool in place and allows other hand free to hold frame steady.
The middle is a tooth syringe that comes in very handy when greasing headsets, BBs and hubs.
On the right is a bent spoke that holds the rear mech near to the chainstay to make removing and refitting chainlinks easier.
Nothing special and certain to have been done before/better, but they do make the jobs easier.
P.S. I find the best way of cleaning oily hands is used coffee grounds mixed with a bit of washing up liquid - much better & cheaper than swarfega.
What have you come up with over the years that helps make working on bikes easier for you, and could help others.
