Axiom Tuck 16 multi-tool


SO GOOD
The Tuck 16 is compact and fairly light, at 130g. It’s the cheapest tool on test by a fiver but the chrome vanadium steel tool bits are neatly made. It includes a Mavic spoke key and all the essential Allen keys, from 2mm to 8mm.

NO GOOD
The chain tool was by far the hardest to use of all those here and failed to loosen a stiff link. The handle is hard to get a decent purchase on and flexy. Although an 8mmAllen key is included, it’s of the push-fit socket style and doesn’t attach very securely. This means it’s not ideal for tackling really tight bolts and it’s also easy to lose. Pedro
