It is light, strong and durable. I have had this tool for 5 years now and have used it too many times to remember.

$13.00 | | Purchased At: | AlfredEbike.com | | Strengths: | Small, sleek, loaded | | Weaknesses: | Chain tool addition is a bit pricey. | | Similar Products Used: | Ritchey CRP-13, Topeak Hummer, and a bunch of others | | Bike Setup: | DOes it matter? | | Bottom Line: | I have been searching far and wide for a multi tool that actually has the 5 tools I need in an emergency. Chain tool, 8mm allen wrench in case of crank loosening, other allen wrenches, patch kit. The ritcey crp-13 worked fine, but it was awkward to stick in the saddlbag and too scary looking to put in the jersey pocket. This is the only other small tool that comes with an 8mm allen wrench. So far I am very impressed with the design, and for those of us who do not carry camelbaks, this is the perfect size. One tip, you can fit and extra chain pin into the compartment with the tube patches. The chain tool is another 8 bucks and should have been included in the original tool. This is the only multi tool that I will ever need, because I have the heavy duty tools at home. FIVE FIREY TURDS! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$13.00 | | Purchased At: | pedalsnpacks | | Strengths: | Light weight, high quality, low price. What could be better? | | Weaknesses: | Need separate chain tool (small price to pay). | | Bike Setup: | GT XCR3000 | | Bottom Line: | Very nice tool! It's very well made, and contains everything I've needed except a chain breaker. Tools actually fit and work. Buy a light alloy chain breaker (Ritchey CPR5 is what I use), and you have a great package. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
