Topeak Hexus 16-Function Bicycle Tool Review

Topeak Hexus 16-Function Bicycle Tool

My Topeak Hexus multi-tool broke in my hand under what I would consider to be a reasonable amount of stress. When it broke the plastic housing snapped and the sharp plastic edges cut my hand. I don not recommend this tool because the plastic is not strong enough. I recommend one with a metal housing. Take a look at the customer image that I uploaded.

Crank Brothers Multi Bicycle Tool (17-Function) Review

This is the Swiss Army Knife or Leatherman of bike tools. If you have no other tools, get this first, because it's all you'll need 90% of the time even if you're into installing your own parts.
I've had mine for over ten years, and rescued not only myself but dozens of other riders from walking their bikes home by making sure I always carry it. And it's a handy multitool for household fixes as well.
If the quality, strength, and durability of this tool aren't enough to convince you, how about this: Just last week, I was removing my crank with it, and the bolt wouldn't turn, so I stood on it--as I had done many times over the years for things like getting a pedal off--and it finally popped a nut.
Entirely my fault--should have been using a crank wrench--but I sent an e-mail to Crank Brothers wondering if it was covered under the warranty and what I would have to do (if it would be even worth it), and within an hour they responded that they were sending me a brand new replacement--no proof of purchase or explaination required to see if it was a flaw in the tool or not, they just replaced it. I received the new one in the mail in just a few days. They also offered to fix my old tool to keep as a spare. Wow.
When I told my friends about this, they said they've had similar experiences with Crank Brothers on everything they make. Absolutely outstanding service on top-of-the-line products.
Besides all that, I think it's the best designed, strongest, and most useful bike multitool money can buy.

CrankBrothers Multi-17 Tool features both a chain tool and a disc-brake-rotor-friendly Torx T-25 wrench alongside the usual package. The Crank Brothers Multi 17 Tool has mountain bikers first in mind. Nothing besides a flat or a broken bone will stop your ride as quickly as a busted chain, and if you ride hard you're bound to snap a link sometime. The Multi 17 might not be the absolute lightest tool or smallest on the market, but the extra grams are well worth it because if you don't have the right tool when the chips are down, you're dead weight anyway. This tool features four spoke wrench sizes, seven hex wrench sizes, an 8mm and 10mm open wrench, and both a phillips and flathead screwdriver. Specs: Weight: 168 grams; Length - 3.5 inches; Frame - 6061-T6 aluminum; Tools - 6051 high tensile steel.
