This tool has made it so that I actually bring a multitool with me on my rides. Previously, I had a crank brothers 17 function multitool&#8211;which I kept at home, since it was an awkward\/heavy chunk of steel. It was awkward to use, as the huge bundle of tools would create an awkward grip. I&#8217;ve dreaded using pretty much every other bike multitool, since it&#8217;d involve pinching my finger between metal rods to unwedge a stubborn tool. This tool is light, but well thought out ergonomics. While it doesn&#8217;t pack 17-21 functions, each function is perfectly implemented. Each bit is precision made by PB Swiss (the world&#8217;s best screwdriver maker) in Switzerland. The bit holder is magnetic and doubles as a nifty little wrench. The tire levers are very easy to use, and only slightly worse than the pedro&#8217;s tire levers (they&#8217;re a little narrower). Furthermore, the corners are all rounded. There only two caveats: the bit holder comes loose, and it costs more than most bike tools with &#8220;more features.&#8221; In actuality, these are both non-issues for me. 1. I use a rubber band around the multitool, and things stay locked into place. 2. This tool is a rebranded PB Swiss, sold at a steep discount. PB Swiss makes tools that are at least as good as Snap On, Wera, Wiha, and better than Festool. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eight bits, stainless steel adapter, two tire levers, and L-wrench<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28204"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28204"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28206,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28204\/revisions\/28206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
