Any seasoned rider will agree that a quality bike tool kit is invaluable when you find yourself miles from home with a loose saddle or a broken chain. Our pocket tools and multi-wrenches for cyclists are designed to provide maximum reliability on every ride – whether you’re looking for a minimalist solution for road cycling or a robust bike multi-tool for tough terrain.
Why is a multi-function bicycle key a must?
A modern multi-tool for a bicycle is no longer just a few Allen keys. In our offer you will find intelligently designed sets that cover all the main needs:
Basic service: High-quality bicycle Allen keys (from 2 mm to 8 mm) and Torx keys for precise tightening of disc brakes or stem.
Solving serious problems: For MTB and long-distance enthusiasts, we recommend a multi-wrench with a chain riveter. This tool will allow you to repair a broken chain right in the forest and return home safely.
Tire changing: Select models also feature integrated mounting levers, which are crucial if you need to fix a puncture quickly.
How to choose the ideal multitool?
When choosing cycling tools, consider the ratio between weight and number of functions. For quick urban moves, a lightweight multi-wrench with 5 to 8 functions will suffice. However, if you are going bikepacking or a full-day trail ride, a 15-in-1 or 20-in-1 multi-function set that also includes centreing wrenches and screwdrivers is the ideal choice.
What should a basic bicycle multi-tool include?
Every basic multitool should have a set of Allen keys (2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm), a Phillips and flathead screwdriver. Also important for modern bikes is a T25 Torx key, which is often used to attach disc brakes or stems.
What is the difference between cheap and expensive cycling gear?
The main difference is the quality of the steel used and the precision of the workmanship. Cheap wrenches can bend or "tear off" the screw head when tightened. High-quality multi-wrenches made of CR-V (chrome-vanadium) steel have a long service life, better corrosion protection and are lightweight.
How to take care of a multi-key so that it doesn't rust?
Although most tools are protected by a surface finish, after riding in the rain or mud, we recommend removing the tools from the pouch, wiping them dry, and occasionally lightly lubricating the joints with an all-purpose oil (e.g. WD-40 or a drop of chain oil).
