Strengths:
Handy, cool idea.
Weaknesses:
Plastic parts wear quickly.
Bike Setup:
Cannondale F-29
Bottom Line:
Great idea but the little plastic nubs that keep the head cap on wore out and came off during a ride. The tool went through the head tube and hit the front tire causing the tire levers to snap and damn near causing a crash. If you use this tool, don't put it in the head tube. The action of pulling it out wears out those nubs pretty quickly

Strengths:
Puts a lot of tools in one easy to use product
Lightens my Camelbak
Patch kit!
Weaknesses:
Rubber ends tend to slide off when pulling tool kit out, so you have to tip your bike to the side to get it to fall out.
A littl heavy, but that may be the quality showing

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
A MUST MUST MUST buy for any lefty user, this avoids buying a lot of extra tools to lug around in my Camelbak, and makes great use of an area that just sat empty.
I gave it a 4 overall due to one of the tire levers wanting to slide off when pulling the product out of the head tube.
