With its versatile L-handle, expandable bit selection, and superior leverage, it's a no-nonsense, pro-level tool for trail guides or back-country tourists, who must often make extensive field repairs.Ĭargo bibs? Riders whose bodies are too good for a pack should not have an issue with threading their fork's steerer tubes to adapt OneUp's EDC tool system. The honorable mention goes to the Mineral Designs Mini Bar. It's a little heavy for cargo bibs, but perfectly suited for pack pockets. The F15's layout is far more useful than a simple folder, with the case doubling as a lever and the handiness of its detachable chain/spoke tool. ![]() If you wear a pack, you'll have no qualms about storing bulky items like a separate CO2 kit, or a pump to cover inflation duties. Hydration pack? Crankbrothers' F15 Multi-Tool wins this one. So, to more sharply focus the judging process, we divided riders between those who ride with hydration packs and those who don't. Pinkbike riders, for the most part, have better-than-average experience and thus, more specific requirements. If the only criteria was the most useful multi-tool for the average enthusiast, the win would be split between the Crankbrothers F15, because its extensive range of useful tools suits experienced mechanics - and the Syncros Matchbox Tailor HV1.5, because it includes all the basic essentials: pump, chainbreaker, folding tool and bottle cage. Six very different multi-tools made it difficult for us to come up with a clear winner. the Mini bar offers much more leverage than a folding tool for jobs like removing a pedal or a crank arm, and far more dexterity for accessing hard-to-reach hardware. Magnets also secure the bits and carrier to the L-handle. The Mini Bar comes with ten popular bits, so you can customize its six-tool plastic carrier to suit your bike's hardware. All three ends of the L-handle accept standard 1/4-inch tool bits, retained by powerful neodymium magnets. The Mini Bar's L-handle is welded from lightweight steel tubing, which is then nickel plated.
