Topic starter

STW font of all knowledge.

I’m after a simple multi tool for my town bike. Space is very limited and I only need 5mm, 6mm & 8mm hex keys. I could just put loose Allen keys in the under saddle tool roll, but everything I have is too long to fit.

I’ve seen this Park Tools MT-1 that kind of fits the bill.

But I’m a tool tart, so something a bit different would scratch that itch.

So what have you got?

If you're a tart, then the Daysaver might suit

Crank Brothers Multi 10. Has a little bit more than you need. £16.99 at Tredz

The F10+ is quite cute. Has a magnetic case which doubles as a bottle opener (peak STW), but a bit pricy at £33.99

Although you'd need a cap for the 6mm to make it 8mm.

Talking about 6mm 8mm caps - anyone sell them separately?

I have the Mt Zoom one. Its great. Could do with a t25 torx cap though.
Also have the PB Swiss 470 which is also good and very well made.

I gave up and got the Wera Allen and torx set.

Weighs a bit more, but real tools are lovely - didn’t pay that for it though. If that doesn’t work for you check some of the other Wera bike sets
