Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by maddslacker   on March 28, 2009   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. Verdict 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! reviewed by johnbarberr   on December 31, 2008   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. Verdict 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.
