Strengths:    good set of tools

Weaknesses:    very poor quality, handling

Bottom Line:   
I was quite happy with this tool for about 4-5 month till I tried to dismount a pedal. I did not use any extentions etc. but the crown of the bolt broke.
Seems its just very poor quality. Although Park Tool has a limited lifetime warrenty they did not repair / replace the tool.

Strengths:    Lots of useful tools in a small setup

Weaknesses:    Cheap,chain tool is a piece of crap

Bottom Line:   
This is a great multi tool except for the chain tool part. I picked this tool up just a few days ago thinking it was a great deal for the money. Overall, it is. But, I figured i would try out the chain tool today to see how it performed,and I put in some spare chain links to try it out. Immediately when I put real force into tightening it down to push the link out, one of the teeth on the tool that holds the chain snapped. Cheap, soft metal I guess. Park tool has a good reputation, and should actually test this tool before releasing it. When you pay decent money for something like this, you should expect it to perform, but its a decent tool, except for the chain breaker

Strengths:    has everything, strong

Weaknesses:    bulky, tools do not detach

Bottom Line:   
Covers all basis but I really can't say I need all the tools it has. It's bulk makes it a bit of a pain to pack and the tools are packed in tightly making them more difficult to use that a simpler tool. I'll save this for long remote trips and get a simpler tool for short rides.

Strengths:    Many tools

Weaknesses:    Low quality

Bottom Line:   
Bought it after lost the superb Topeak Alien II.
This Rescue Tool is a piece of crap. Tried to change the chain, but the chain tool is made of a soft metal, which got bent pretty quickly. Afraid, that the same can happen to other tools in the set.
Waste of money

Strengths:    Have almost everything you need on the go

Weaknesses:    For the size and weight, you can't ask for more.

Bottom Line:   
This tool will serve you well in most situations you may have on the road. If your repair needs other tools, than it is not this little ones fault. Great tool with everything u need. For the price you get more out of it
