Set of tools in tray 1 for 2600D General tools for servicing suspension

Suspension service is two service categories sharing one bench. There’s the suspension-specific work (seal drivers, oil syringes, damper-assembly pin spanners) and there’s the general-tools work that surrounds it (digital calipers, awls, hex wrenches, hammers, insulated screwdrivers). The SET1-2600D tray loads the general-tools half into one foam-cut drawer for the Unior Suspension Workbench 2600D.

What’s in the tray

• Digital caliper (270A); for measuring damper shaft diameters, seal head ODs, and the dozens of “is this the right part” moments in fork-and-shock service.
• Suspension wrench with strap (1705/2DP-US); strap-style holding for cylindrical damper bodies that round profile wrenches can’t grip without damage.
• Valve core remover (1755/2); for the Schrader-valve air-spring chambers on most modern forks and shocks.
• Hex wrench (220/3); standard L-key hex range.
• Set of Torx wrenches with hole, in plastic clip (220/7TXPH); security-Torx capable, full size range.
• T-handle hex wrench (193HX-US); everyday T-handle hex.
• T-handle TX wrench (193TX-US); everyday T-handle Torx.
• Adjustable spanner wrench (253/2DP-US); for the variety of locknut sizes a fork’s air-spring assembly presents.
• Flat tweezers (1344); for o-ring and seal-pickup work, where the part is too small for fingers.

Awls (full angle range for cable-routing pickup and gasket-and-O-ring placement):

• Awl with round, straight blade (639A); for straight-shot access.
• Awl with round, 90° bent blade (639B); for around-the-corner access.
• Awl with round, double-bent blade (639C); for deep-cavity work.
• Awl with round, double-bent small blade (639D); for tighter cavities.

Hammers:

• Plastic hammer (820); for tap-fit installs without metal-on-metal damage.
• Locksmith’s hammer (812); for the small percussive moves a suspension teardown sometimes requires.

Insulated screwdrivers (VDE-rated):

• Electrician’s screwdriver with insulated blade (603VDETBI); flat-blade.
• Crosstip (PH) screwdriver with insulated blade (613VDETBI); Phillips.

The tray ships with the empty foam shell (vl1-2600D); replacement shells available separately.

Why suspension service needs a dedicated general-tools tray

A general-purpose general-tools tray (the SET1-2600AC) exists for the dry-mechanical bench; the SET1-2600D is its suspension counterpart. The differences reflect the suspension workflow’s specific demands:

• Strap wrench instead of an open-end wrench; damper bodies don’t take open-end-wrench geometry without damage.
• Adjustable spanner instead of a fixed-size; fork air-spring locknuts come in too many sizes to stock individually.
• Four awl variants instead of one; suspension o-rings sit in deeper cavities than drivetrain seals.
• Tweezers; the o-ring-and-spacer parts in a fork or shock are smaller than the equivalent parts in a derailleur or BB.

For the suspension-specific tools (seal drivers, oil syringes, damper-assembly tools), the SET2-2600D tray carries the next layer.

Compatibility

Sized for the bench-integrated drawer in the Unior 2600D Suspension Workbench. Also fits the standalone 990WD7 wide tool chest for shops running suspension service from a separate cabinet.

Built in Zreče, Slovenia

Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and sponsors professional road and mountain-bike race teams. The suspension-tool line is the same in-house manufacturing chain as the drivetrain and brake tool lines, sized for the workflow demands of fork and shock service.

Pro tip from our mechanics

The SET1-2600D is the everyday tray for a suspension station; pull it for every fork or shock service, regardless of which specialty tools the job needs from the SET2-2600D tray or the dedicated suspension specialized tools.
