Having been stranded due to not having a suitable hex key to remove a wheel to fix a flat, I appreciated the inclusion of the 6mm hex, which is the standard size to unscrew a thru-axle without a lever. The chain tool is very robust and sits well away from the tool body. The punch is operated using the separate tire lever, which gives plenty of leverage when in use, for easy chain rivet removal. Efficient customer care support– The customer service arm of the manufacturers of this product is very efficient and responds to your complaints promptly. This article hopes to provide a solution to the above-highlighted problems of having multiple tools. Why spend so much buying different tools individually, then spend more energy and money moving them from one location to another when you can buy a portable 16 in 1 multi-tool that efficiently replaces them?

The box also provides space for a chain split link if you want to carry more spares. The chain tool sits below the box of plugs, which stops it from rattling. Although the small handle has grips stamped into it, there wasn't a lot of room to get a good hold for leverage when breaking the chain though. Durability– The tools should be strong enough to withstand repeated use and not fail you when needed most. Look for bits that are made from hardened steel, which helps to ensure a good fit even after a lot of use. Practicality– there is no point in having 20 different functions on the multi-tool if they cannot be used properly. Look for bits that are long enough to allow you to reach specific areas of the bike while also providing enough leverage.

When you're looking for the best bike multi-tool for your needs, there are a few things worth considering, which we've outlined below. Do I need a cycling multi-tool? A keychain multi-tool can represent an entire tool kit. Depending on the tool, it might feature everything from tweezers to a knife blade. Some models will include Philips and regular head screwdriver additions, while others might come with more specific components like needle-nose pliers. What are the benefits of a keychain multi-tool?

There’s a good array of hex heads, although not the 2.5mm which can be useful for some bolts, including the tension adjusters for Shimano pedal retainers. The 2mm hex is good for Shimano derailleur limit screw adjustment though. Despite its size, the Feexman has a comprehensive range of hex heads from the tiny sizes needed to adjust derailleurs and pedal release tension through to an 8mm for pedal axles – usually the largest size you need on a bike. There’s only one Torx head, a T25, but there is a Phillips and a flathead screwdriver included. I didn't use the serrated blade, but it’s an extra that doesn’t contribute much to the already hefty 196g tool weight. I’m still waiting to use some of the functions, but I can tell you that the wire stripper and bender work like a charm – so far, I’ve used them to change outlets around my house, set up my surround sound, and even fix a few loose car wires.Finally, there’s the variety of attachments available. Commonly you’ll get round and flat cutting blades, grinding discs, triangular sanding shoes, scraping blades and little attachments for getting the grout out from between tiles. However, there are many differently shaped attachments out there, and they can be put to all manner of different tasks. Oh, right – I should mention the bottle opener has come in the clutch on more than a few occasions. It’s the perfect way to celebrate after a job well done.
