Which Multitool?


Christopher Brunsdon

Recommended Posts

I've decided to get myself a multitool but not sure which one? I currently lug around a leatherman, foldable allan keys, tyre levers and large chain breaker.

 

It weighs a lot LOL

 

My LBS is well priced (R100-R500) with tools and even Sportsmans WH has a really nice Giant with Chain breaker for R200.

 

What are you all using that you are happy with. I don't care about weight, I'm looking for something that works.

Mama mia! I hope this monster comes with a map to show you where to find what on this tool. Where on this device do they store the rag to clean your hands after the bike transplant?

No clue how much it is. I just uploaded it cause it looked nice. With the exception of the crank and hubs it looks like it'll have tools to take a whole bike apart.

Seems as if we have the same model tool. Combine this with a small foldable pair of pliers and Bob's your uncle. Goodbadugly2009-09-10 13:46:50

I have a topeak mini18

I use it alot its very nice the chainbreaker is really strong I had a seized pin and could not believe how much abuse the breaker took

It is very good quality quite compact and comes in a nice pouch

I think it also won some award in one of the local mags when they tested a bunch of multi tools

 

 

I also have one - its small, light, amazingly strong and has a good whack of tools.
