I have one, but don't carry it.

I mainly carry the full-sized Park folding wrench set. ...that reminds me... I need to disassemble one and substitute a t25 in place of one of the wrenches

It saves weight by lightening your wallet!

This looks great! But seems unavailable

And yes, mini tools with loose bits means paying more attention on the trail.

On the MTB I wanted a chain tool so I carry the Fix Wheelie Wrench Pro with over 20 functions, at a porky 93g but it's really small!

I had one of those. I felt they were cheaply made.

The casing breaks easily and the parts rust real bad.

Mine is going strong for many years now. BTW, the bits are made by PB Swiss, same as your new tool.

Yup, I had two and the hard plastic cracked and the tire levelers broke. And the insert part became rusted (not the bits)

I have this set: well made and easy to use.

I was lured by the look and design of the Fabric Chamber Tool. It's a lovely object and works well … but I was shocked when I received it and discovered that it weighs 170g. I'm far from a weight weenie but it felt like a boat anchor.

Anyone want to buy it?

This is what that is replacing

It’s a little bit smaller. But the spur cycle tool is excellent.

That Daysaver *is* slick, I like it.
Shrinking (or eliminating) the under-saddle bag would rock.

How does the 6mm hex work with the T25 in the way?

The Wolftooth slide-into-the-bar holders are cool as well,
I just have to figure a way to integrate one with my Italian Mirror.

I wish the Bontrager BITS would work with carbon road forks.

no experience, but if you need torque and like this kind of bit system, I thought the Topeak Nano Torque tools looked pretty slick as well. https://www.topeak.com/global/en/pro...ANO-TORQBAR-DX

[tepextate]

I carry the Topeak 5NM with me, but not the full set. Really simple and easy to use.

Wish the Daysaver were cheaper. Have been thinking about getting the PB Swiss multitool, but this looks even better!

Daysaver tool looks great, wish it wasn't so expensive.

My bits show a little bit of corrosion but nothing alarming. I do keep it in a plastic bag along with a CO2 inflator so it's protected from direct contact from water and sweat. ALso no problems with the plastic housing. I never use the tire levers (ride tubulars) but they do seem a little flimsy.
