Hi All.

Im after a mini multi tool such as a Topeak mini6 or Lezyne 4.
just need something as small as poss for the saddle bag in case I need to tighten/tinker a mech or saddle etc.

Any recommendations?

The Crank bothers ones are almost as small and have almost everything you'd ever need.

i'll have a look at them , just need the usual 3 sizes of hex and a philips really.

the alien has everything else BUT is huge and isnt exactly floaty in the weight department 🙂

I have a Topeak mini 6 which I love to bits, and use as a keyring ornament, which is roughly all it's fit for 🙂 Don't confuse it with a useful tool.

or just buy the seperate tools? 3 hex keys and a jewellers screwdriver. Usually lighter + more compact than a multitool with things you dont need.

although that minoura thing ^^^ looks nice and small!

My son insisted on having a multi-tool, so I bought him one of those for xmas (they were on sale). It is tiny. Just about usable, i'd think.

Crank brothers, all the way. Small and very useable.

That Mioura is rather nice 🙂 and quite cheap too.
strange that they include a flat instead of philips screwdriver.

I have a lovely Lezyne super light tool that's got everything on it but it's really light. Cost £50 tho 😳 bit of an impulse buy at a race....
