Cheap-ish option with plenty of tools, but not the best leverage and connecting mechanism

This multi-tool has a great lockout feature which covers the spanners, spoke keys, screwdrivers, bottle opener and chain tool.

The right Allen keys are included, with a snap-on 8mm Allen key and T25 Torx key. X-Tools are another company to offer two tyre levers on their multi-tool, which is essential when removing tyres with reinforced beading.

The stubby nature of the tool, combined with the slippery surface, can make leverage and grip an issue. Also, when locked together, the pivotal engagement mechanism is a little sloppy.

Product "32223" does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.

Technical editor-in-chief

Rob Weaver is BikeRadar's technical editor-in-chief. Rob manages all of the testing here at BikeRadar and across our magazines, Mountain Biking UK and Cycling Plus. Rob first graced the pages of MBUK back in 2001 when working as a freelance writer and went on to start testing bikes for the title in 2007. In 2010 he joined the team full-time and has been keeping a close eye on all things test-related ever since. Rob’s expansive knowledge of bikes comes courtesy of his passion for racing. He cut his teeth racing cross-country mountain bikes in the early 90s before finding his feet in downhill. After many years competing on the UK national circuit (including a year attempting to race UCI DH World Cups), Rob realised his know-how and passion for bike setup, tech and writing clearly outweighed his racing ability. A degree in sports technology and decades of riding experience all help to give Rob a thorough understanding of what’s needed to create a great bike or product. While Rob’s a mountain biker at heart and never happier than when he’s sliding down a Welsh hillside, he’s more than happy to put the miles in on the road or gravel bike, too.
