Merida Multi Tool 2137001763Purchased from who else but Da Bike Pimp. (check out the B&S section) I bought this one without any research or even taking a good look at it. I trust Da Bike Pimp and he said this is good and that was enough. As they say ... resistance is futile to the Da Bike Pimp's selling powers. Anyway boy was I surprised when I actually got home and I actually inspected the thing. This multi-tool has just about everything that can and will be used on a bike. Allen wrenches: 2/2.5/3/4/5/6/8 · 2 tire levers · Stainless knife · T25 Torx · Screwdriver + · Universal chain tool · Screwdrivers flat: 2/2.5/4 · Bottle opener The only thing missing is a spoke tension adjuster! This is much better than the Giant multitool that I lost somewhere in DRT Bulacan. The design is really very well engineered and it looks nice too. My only complaint is that the size 8 allen (which fits on the #7 as an extension) is not magnetic and can easily be lost. Thankfully most of us who have outboard BBs probably would not need it so I can just leave it safe and stored in a drawer. Anyway I would highly recommend this to any rider who don't have tools yet - this multitool is a winner.

That's a great looking tool! You may want to carry a spare chain tool however since a chain tool is useless unless it has the extra plate that loosens stiff links (which is what happens when you reconnect links). Unless, of course, you always carry a spare quick link or two with you then you're all good.
