Blackburn Wayside multi-tool


The Wayside’s rack of detachable ball-ended Allen keys (secured with plastic clips and a rubber sleeve) means you don’t need to manipulate the hefty body of the tool to access awkward bolts. When stowed, the chain tool clips to the Allen key rack, so it doesn’t flap around. Unique features include a short serrated knife blade (with safety catch) and a Presta valve core removal tool. The integrated 8mm Allen key is hollowed out and you can insert one of the detachable ones to gain by far the most leverage of the tools on test.

There’s no Phillips/Pozidrive head. The rubber sleeve can be fiddly.

Price $50
