Pros: - very compact
- lightweight
- has most tools you could need on the trail
- druable and well constructed

Cons: - small and tough to use in some applications

Recommendation: Borrowed this tool from a freind when I first started riding before I purchased my own. I fould it to be a bit small and tough to use with my big meat hooks I have for hands. It was solid and he loved it claiming that he had had it forever. I choose the Park multi-tool as it had more options and was a bit larger in my thich hands. Very nice tool, just not suited for me.

Pros: Almost everytool you'd need on the trail wrapped up in a compact package.

Cons: Rusts over time.

Recommendation: Even with the minor rust issues this tool gets the job done.

Pros: Perfect size, weight, and just the right amount of tools you would need out riding

Cons: None at this time.

Recommendation: This little multi-tool is durable, handy, and not too expensive for the most part when it comes to tools. This is the only tool I have and use it time and time again. Highly recommend this to anyone in need of a tool that will assist in getting you back home or on the trail.

Pros: Just as good as the 19 tool, just missing the two smallest screw drivers, why would you need them anyways.

Recommendation: Another tool that works on your bike. Pick one.

Pros: Love this tool. Use it for everything, even household items. I like that you can use the chain tool with out having another tool to turn it. One tool for everything. Awesome

Pros: Compact size that is slightly curved lets it fit really well inside my hydration pack.
Has most of the tools you will need for about any trailside repair.
Chain tool is excellent!
Includes a torx wrench for disc brake rotors.
Not too heavy.
Good price.


Cons: None yet.

Recommendation: One friend has a Park tools model and other friends have various dept store ones. All of them are frequently borrowing mine on the trail. Nuff said!

Pros: Has all the Hex's you'll need, including all screw driver heads. Biggest pro is the chain fixing tool. Nice and compact and very useful.

Cons: Requires annoying rubber band to keep tools from "butterflying" out.

Recommendation: This is perfect for quick fixes on the trail. It's small enough to fit in your pocket and not too heavy to carry. Gets good leverage in tight squeezes. A must have for any long trips where a broken chain could turn a day trip into an overnight trip.
