Road.cc asked their readers which multi-tools they rely on most for mechanical problems on the road. Topeak and Crank Brothers were among the favourites!<\/p>\n

Excerpts from Road.cc:<\/p>\n

Topeak Alien II\/III – 9% ($69.99\/94.99 CAD)<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"Topeak<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve grouped together the Alien II and III as they\u2019re conceptually so similar: a multi tool that separates into two parts so the bulk of the body doesn\u2019t get into the way of using the tool bits. The Alien II has 26 bits, the Alien III 25, but the mix is different so if you\u2019re going for the Alien\u2019s comprehensive coverage, check the tool lists carefully.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s reader whizzzz singing the tool\u2019s praises: \u201cI like my old Topeak Alien. It\u2019s well built and its split nature means you can use a spanner with a screwdriver etc. The bits seem well made and I haven\u2019t rounded any allen keys like some tools I have and out on my bike it hasn\u2019t let me or my ride chums down yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crank Brothers 19 -14% ($52.99 CAD)<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"crank-crothers-m19\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This simple but highly functional multi boasts, as you\u2019d expect from the name, 19 tool bits.<\/p>\n

medic_ollie likes the gold version which, he says: \u201cLooks great. Feels like it’s going to last for years. The chain tool made short work of my brother’s rusty broken chain. Plus comes with a metal case to keep it looking pristine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Topeak Hexus II -17% – ($37.99 CAD)<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"topeak<\/p>\n

Topeak tops the ranking with this folding multi-tool that includes 16 tool tips, covering everything a road cyclist is likely to need.<\/p>\n

Reader jthef says: \u201cI have 2 of these, older models though, one on each bike; one over 10 years old now and still going strong. No breakages and the chain tools have been used and work well. I really like the clip for holding the chain together while you fit the missing link.\u201d<\/p>\n
