Multi tool

pothole seeker

Hi all,

Looking to kit out my camelback with a multitool, as I'm getting into longer rides.

Are their much differences in them. There any that I should stay clear of?

I think I'd go for one with a chain tool, just in case.

Topeak, CrankBrothers, Lezyne?

Suggestions greatly appreciated!

Park tool Ib3

topeak are good, alot of peopel liek the Alien.

I got the crank bros 19 and must say its crap..in terms that the tool bits are all to flappy and loose and the things to wide and sits badly inthe hand.. so have gone back to the IB3 which is perfect

I was really pleased with my Topeak Alien, until I started to suspect that the chain tool was causing weak links.

I think the anvil section might be too rounded to put the pin properly home.

Not fully made my mind up that it's the tool's fault yet - but I definitely have my suspicions.

Really like my Crank Bros 17 (several years old now) - great chain tool and solid construction. Only issue I have with it (and most multi-tools) the allan keys can be a bit short for some jobs (just be aware).

the crank brothers 19 gets a different review from bike radar compared to papasmurf
""Easy to use, high functionality, high-quality tool. Recommended""
someone else apart from papasmurf mentioned the bad shape to hold though...

i've got an alien 2 which is great i think. couldn't ask for much more although i have lost one of the allen key add-on bits - 8mm allen key? dunno which it is.

Cheers for the replies!

Topeak getting a few votes, probably can't go wrong with one
