I have been using this tool (although I think it was named something different when it first came out) for over 8 years. With it, I have done countless trail/road side repairs for myself, friends, and even other cyclist I met with mechanical problems. I even fully assembled a new bike for my neighbor using just this tool when I had loaned my toolbox to my brother. Very simply, this tool has everything you will need for just about any repair on the bike, including a fantastic chain tool and built in tire levers. At this price, it is a crazy deal, IMO the best value around.
I do have a specific comment regarding the user who wrote a review stating he broke the plastic under what he considers a "reasonable" load and posted his gory picture. The tool casing is not plastic, it is metal. The only plastic part on this tool is the removable tire lever. You sheered the metal, at a reinforced area of the tool. The is no way that happened under "reasonable" force - you would have to be inappropriately using the tool as a pry-bar or trying to break a siezed bolt with too short a lever to accomplish something like that. It is irresponsible and unfair to rate the product poorly because of your own misuse. Amazon should remove that photo.Get more detail about Topeak Hexus 16-Function Bicycle Tool.
