Fix it sticks, BE AWARE

Hi
Just thought I would share this.
Fix it sticks, really nice "multi tool". I use the inverted comma's's as what your buying is 3 Allen keys and 1 torx key for a cost of $24.99 + $10 for shipping, so approx £30.
So £7.50 per tool. Expensive? Very!
Now in all honesty they are very nicely finished and look splendid bolted in under the water bottle cage.
But here's the thing
On delivery there is a further £12.04 import duty and royal mail handling fee to pay. Making your 3 Allen keys and 1 torx key an eye watering £42.04 (approx). Which is the most expensive "multi tool" in history.
A nice complete set of snap-on Allen keys and a complete set of torx keys can be bought for the same price.
Better still topeak alien £20.
Hope this is helpful

Only to people who didn't check what they were buying or realising you pay import duty when you, erm, import stuff I guess!
It's pretty obvious what you get

One of these - much tinier in real life than it looks in the pic.

And for around £20 you can do pretty much any job on a bike that dosn't need specialist tools.
Might not look cute bolted under a bottle cage, but small enough to get lost in any camelbak thing or jersey pocket.I don't do smileys.

Just buy an alien tool, had mines (alien II) for 15 or so years, still works fine. It did spend a couple of years vacating in my mates garage mind! Was probably around £25 when I bought it.
As cooldad says, always wise to have a separate chain tool (and quick links for the chain) too.0
