Blackburn Heist 10 multi-tool


SO GOOD
The Heist’s shaped side plates make it by far the most comfortable-to-use tool on test. That means you can crank bolts up nice and tight, despite the tool’s minimal length.

Straight Allen keys from 2mm to 8mm are on there, as well as a T25 Torx wrench and both flat and Phillips screwdrivers. As well as being compact at 70x40mm, the Blackburn tool is also lightweight, making it a no-brainer addition to your riding pack.

NO GOOD
The Heist is missing a chain tool – though that’s less of an issue now that most chains can be joined with quick links. Assuming you remember to carry one...

PRICE 28$

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.
