Second the Birzman -, but I'd suggest you go check out the Dirt Website, they've done a "5 of the best" on multitools this week, should give you an idea of what will suit you.

Here - links to the other 4 at the bottom.

Crank Brothers 10, longer tools so plenty of leverage.

The Lezyne one is what I got, because of the chain tool, and its a lovely piece of kit.

Their mini pump is amazing too, pumped my roadie tyres up to 80psi no sweat

I'm swaying towards the lezyne because the mini pump I have is so good.

Your feedback is all excellent.

Keep it up!

Thanks

The Birzman I bought was the biggest pile of tat I have ever had the misfortune to be sold by the bike industry.

Not one of the Allen keys was the correct size, all were undersize enough to ruin any bolt they went near.

Crank Bros Multi 17 has been a joy though.

Depends how many tools you want...

I have a Crank Brothers one which I really like (just a few allen keys + screw driver), but the topeak Alien range is good if you want a few more "functions" I think!

Cranks Brothers m17 here too. Feels nice and 'substantial' compared to some of the shiny tat out there.

CB19. I've built at least three bikes from the frame-up using one of these as my main set tools. It's ace.

Just ditched by CB19 (been great for 3 years but got wet and went rusty now is seized up and a pita) for a Birzman, a work of beauty and seems well made and it can be stripped down with replacement or different parts available
The Birzman and Lezyne range look the same, I presume Lezyne rebrand Birzman tools?

I prefer a small pouch full of loose tools of my choosing.

Ditto! Though I lost that little loose bit years ago, I wonder if it was a Torx one...
