The MT-1 is a high quality multi-tool that is uncomplicated, easy to use, and effective. Made of investment cast steel and electroless nickel plated for durability, the MT-1 featured 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm hex wrenches; 8mm, 9mm, and 10mm socket wrenches; and a straight blade screwdriver. Each of the nine tools is carefully positioned so the MT-1 can be effectively used on those “tough to get to” nuts, bolts, and screws.

Strengths: -Light weight and compact
-Has all common hex sizes
-Strong
-Simple
Weaknesses: -screwdriver blade is short. May be challenge to reach some derailleur adjust screws.
Bottom Line:
This is the simplest, lightest, toughest multi-tool available. The steel is very strong. The different hex keys are nicely located so that each is accessible. I'm not a big fan of those complicated "Swiss Army" type folding combo tools. This tool along with a CT-5 chain tool and you are all set for nearly any repair on the trail. The separate tools do the job better and are lighter weight.
