What is a Bike Multi Tool?

A bicycle multi tool is a versatile bike tool that helps you perform speedy repairs and adjustments while out riding. Ideal for essential maintenance and urgent fixes, this fantastic tool is ultra-compact, so you can easily carry it with you in your saddle bag or pocket.

What Features Do Bike Multi Tools Have?

The best bicycle multi tool will typically include:

- Allen keys/hex keys in various sizes, ideal for tightening or loosening bolts on bike components like saddles, handlebars, and kickstands.
- Screwdrivers, usually both flat-head and Phillips, for adjusting derailleurs, mudguards, and bottle cages.
- Torx keys to maintain disc brake systems, certain bike lights, and GPS mounts.
- Chain breaker tool for repairing chain fixes, especially important for mountain bikers and gravel riders.

How to Choose a Bicycle Multi Tool?

When choosing a multi tool, make sure to consider:

- Practicality - one of the main perks of a multi-functional tool is that it's lightweight, compact, and easy to transport. Consider how the tool will fit alongside your other cycling essentials, like your tyre repair kit and pump, as well as where you intend to store it.
- Durability - for a tool that stands the test of time, we recommend choosing one made from stainless steel or hardened metal alloys.
- Versatility - make sure your chosen tool is equipped to help with everything you think you may need. If you're an avid off-roader, then opt for a mountain bike multi tool, or if you have lots of cycling accessories, consider the types of attachments that will help you secure everything in place.
