Pros
The materials are top notch, has just about every tool I need on the trail. Has saved me many "Walks of Shame"
Cons
It's heavy, and some of the tools are difficult to do big things with. However, I save the big things when I'm home and have bigger better tools.
Review
Not for those that care about weight, But I'd recommend it to everyone.

Pros
I really like the materials that were used in this product. I also like the fact that this includes the chain tool the tire levers which i have never used but i'm very certain that when i need it, it'll do the job.
It also comes with a nylon carrying case that has a built in mount which, if you purchase the F55(seat post mount) or F66(stem mount) you can have the tool securely mounted.
Cons
the product is a little heavy. I think this is due to the fact that they used good quality material and not just some lame plastic that my 6 year old daughter could easily break.
I was also surprised that the pedal tool didn't quite perform well. for me, it is too short and i have to exert a great amount of force to loosen my pedals.
a bit pricy. a 30% reduction in price would have given me the right satisfaction for the product.
for the price i paid, I wish it came with the F55 or F66.
Review
would recommend the product for those who are not so gram conscious riders.
Pros
It has pretty much every tool you might need during a ride. Chain breaker works well. Easier to carry than multiple tools.
Cons
Heavy/bulky for a multitool. Not as functional as separate tools. The lock together function broke on mine.
cant get too much torque with allen keys
Review
For a multitool you cant go wrong. It has everything most tools have plus extra. Put one in your camelbak just in case.

Review
If you want a great tool to keep in your camelbak for on the trails this is a great tool. It has practically anything you'll need.
Pros
All the tools you need
Cons
some of the tools are almost useless due to the face they are too close to the folding frame
Review
Great tool a bit bulky but it has it all in this one, a must if your a frequent rider with long epic rides as a common occurance
