CrankBrothers m17 multi-tool


SO GOOD
CrankBrothers have laid out the Allen keys (2mm to 8mm) in ascending order and they’re easy to access and use. The tool’s robust 90mm-long body lets you get plenty of torque down, making the 8mmAllen key the most useful on test.

The m17 feels solid, and past experience with CrankBros’ tools suggests it should last a long time too. The tool bits are well made and fit snugly into bolts without any play. Textured sections on each side of the body aid grip.

NO GOOD
It’s a bit on the bulky side at 181g – one for your pack, not your pocket.

Price 37$
