The RAVX Agent X2 multi-tool is very compact when folded

BikeRadar verdict

35 out of 5 stars

"Nice compact muti-tool, but we just know we're going to lose the Torx bit sooner or later."

By John Stevenson, international editor

There's a lot to like about this diminutive multi-tool, which offers a useful collection of tools in a small package, but we worry that the separable Torx head won't last long.

The RavX Agent X packs a lot into its 109g: tyre lever; flat and cross-head screwdrivers; 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8mm Allen keys and a Torx head. The quality of the tool heads is decent and the whole thing packs down nice and small. You won't have trouble finding space for it, though you might have trouble actually finding it!

The tyre lever is supported by the tool body to brace it in use, but the other tools are able to move freely. That makes them slightly fiddly to use, but that's a criticism of most multi-tools. Otherwise, as a tool kit to fix & adjust things out on the road or trail, it works.

Our only major complaint is that the Torx head is stored inside the tyre lever as a separate bit; you slip it on the 4mm Allen key to use it. Experience of similar designs suggests that sooner or later separate bits become separated forever. We'd rather see them permanently attached.

    It is good I like it,nice and Compact and Light, but the loose Torx bit I would loose it very quickly. It would probably fall out in my Pannier and then get lost.

    I would still need either a Dumbell stye Box Spanner or conventiional Spanner for taking off the Wheel Nuts unless the Wheels had a quick take off Lever or Bayonet if you like to call it.

    I have a compact Oxford Tool Kit which comes in Two Detachable Halves that Click together but one of the Attachments broke so it is only held together by one Socket. It contains a lot of Allen Keys and Phillips Special and Flat Head Screwdrivers and Torque Key but still I need an Dumbell or a Conventional Spanner to take the Wheel Nuts off on my Bikes.

    When you go on a Long Ride far from Home all this Paraphernalia can be a Heavy Weight, so I am always on the look out for Lightweight alternatives. Together with a bicycle Lock and Water and Food it can be Weighty.
