Date Reviewed: March 21, 2008 | | Favorite Trail: | Smooth roads | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$19.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | Compact, light, affordable, all tools useful for road bikes and easy to use. | | Weaknesses: | Less tools than some may like, but if you want more tools the Multi-17 or 19 should be adequate. | | Similar Products Used: | Home tools (quality screwdrivers and cheap allen keys) but no multi-tools. | | Bike Setup: | 2008 Giant TCR Alliance. | | Bottom Line: | I was looking for a strong multi-tool for basic maintenance on the go. Park Tool and Topeak are reputable brands with (presumably) reliable products. Crank Brothers is a pretty big brand and of the 3, their tools are the most expensive, which I hope translates to strong tools. I say hope because although I've used the Multi-10, I haven't really tested it's strength (so minus 1 chilli for the unknown). Thanks to Ebay, I got it cheaper than Park Tool and Topeak (even compared to Park Tool and Topeak on Ebay).
Also, the Multi-10 had just the tools I was looking for (8 hex wrenches, 1 philips head and 1 flat head screwdriver). Any less would be inadequate and any more would be too heavy. Park Tool's and Topeak's tools, like many other brands, came with torx wrenches (useless for my road bike) and lacked flat head screwdrivers (needed for my accessories).
Since I was only looking to do basic maintenance I didn't opt for more tools such as spoke wrenches or chain tools (which I hear are lousy on almost any multi-tools). The Multi-10 won me over because it fitted my needs exactly. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
