Lost my long term friend/tool(crank bros) last week,so I,m in the market for a new tool any decent bargins out there?
Rich
Well the Crank Bros one does come in a tin. I don't keep mine in it, so it is very rusty.
My old one was very old school ,did not come in a tin the new ones seem to be very pricy 🙁
Hows the injuries Steve?
Fairly comfortable thanks. Not to fracture clinic untill friday - hoping they'll help me towards C2C ride starting 20/5. Doc says they might give me a more bike friendly cast/support for wrist if I'm lucky. He couldn't tell me much though. Need to know when collar bone will be set enough to get on recumbent down the gym too.
I've used one of these before (previous model I think). Very nice tool, but not cheap though:
my vote is in the SKS toolbox travel .... does everything i need it to and is easy to use ! , comes in a neoprene pouch too !
25 quid
so any more recommendations to this lot?

Steve the Topeak one looks overkill!
I have a park multitool as below - quite heavy but excellent quality and has a pouch included in which I keep my emergency cash and chain link.
