Customer Reviews
"Everything you need on the road" - apart from one important thing!
Any multi tool that doesn't include a chain breaker is not worth having and this one doesn't. Although it does include three fairly superfluous sockets - for what purpose, I'm not sure.
A chain breaker will not only fix problems with the chain, but also allow you to bypass the front or rear mech in extreme situations. A chain breaker will get you home one way or another.
Also patches have moved on a bit now and there are some reliable self- adhesive products out there that don't need cement, which, incidentally, can eventually solidify if left for months without use.
All in all not a very good product even for a commuting bike, let alone a racing bike.
A bit more thought to practical considerations and real-life use could have made this better, as it is it looks like the kind of freebie you get when you subscribe to a new credit card in a shopping centre.
Good, but a little heavy to take with you
I bought this as I wanted a more comprehensive tool to take with me when road riding, something that will get one our of most common troubles. The device itsself is fairly comprehensive, and I must admit it's been very useful at home when one cannot be bothered to get the whole toolkit out. It comes in a neat case and had almost everything you need.
A few minor drawbacks:
- It's a bit heavy. Weighs in at about 500grams which for road biking is too heavy really.
- It has metal tyre levers which are quite thin and will probably damage a light road rim
- No chain breaker - mentioned before by others. I personally have never needed one but I know people who have
Basically there is nothing wrong with this product and for family riding its probably ideal - but I wanted something a little lighter. For £10 though, not really compaining.
Excellent
This is an excellent tool, contains almost everything you'd need in a handy pouch. So good my friends have bought one too!!
