andrew Date Reviewed: August 24, 2012 Strengths: well made solid bit of kit Weaknesses: chain splitter is practically unusable - i am yet to be able to get enough leverage to get any where near pushing a pin out - unlike my much cheaper Topeak multi-tool! Only other complaint is that the tools are on the short side making some jobs very challenging e.g. water bottle holder tightening Bottom Line:

from Houston, Texas Date Reviewed: December 7, 2009 Strengths: Metal is quality steel that holds up well. Fits nice into your hydration pack, no matter how small the pocket. Weaknesses: Chain Tool does not push the pin all the way out. This forces you to carry A)another tool specific for chain break or B)or pliers, and hope you don't bend the chain plates trying to get that stuck 3/4 way out pin all the way out. This is a serious design flaw that lowers my opinion significantly of this tool. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Cypresswood Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $20.00 Similar Products Used: generic tools purchased probably from a bike shop. No others with a chain break though. Bike Setup: Cannondale Prophet with full XTR drivetrain, 819s/hope, Avid Elixer CRs, WTB Rocket SLT, Lefty Carbon, FSA K-lite bars, Peaty lock-ons.

from Astoria, Queens, NYC Date Reviewed: July 6, 2007 Strengths: Every tool I ever need on the trail, and rather useful around the house as well. Light and strong. Priced right as well. Weaknesses: None. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: In NYC we ride whatever we can find. Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Purchased At: Seo Cycle at LalaPort Mall in Minami-Funabashi, JAPAN Similar Products Used: Nothing as good. Bike Setup: As if relates to this review, I have a Shimano XT self-extracting crankset on my Trek 8000 (barely anything from the stock original left on it), which I can remove with the 8mm hex on this tool, take the pedals off with the same, and almost entirely take the bike apart and put it back together without needing anything that isn't on this pocket size tool.
