Looking for a gift idea, and the idea of a leatherman or similar popped into my head for a rider.
Any recommendations on particular models which might work well for a bike user (putting to one side the fact that such a tool might not be the perfect bike tool, but would get significant other use too when not being used in bike related activities)?
Thanks!
If it's got:
A. bottle opener
B. pliers
C. nice logo
it will be a nice gift for a cyclist! 😉
I've a Leatherman wave (I think its that one). Great tool but the reality is I don't carry it on many rides because it's too big. I'd carry it on the more remote rides...nevertheless, it was a well received present and it has its purposes...
Skeletool is quite a good one, not bike specific but has most of the things you may need, you can also add a selection of tool bits and its not too big and heavy.
Leatherman Squirt is fab
I usually carry a basic Leatherman Freestyle as a complement to a regular multitool. Used it far more often than I ever expected. If you want a bit of luxury you can go for the CX-model too.

Personally I wouldn't buy a multitool without a woodsaw.
