got the multi 5 from crc for £8. Nice, well made, seems to be good quality metal. I'd imagine the 19 is good too.

I've snapped off the point of my philips screwdriver.It was the first time I'd used that bit too.
The chain tool seems okay as do the allen keys.

My CB 17 has put in 3 or 4 year good use, just beware like all small multitools the Allen/hex keys can be a bit short for some jobs. Otherwise well recommended

I've got a 19 as has my mate, it's been faultless for 2 years.

The allen keys are great, not even come close to rounding a bolt with them yet and the chain tool is pretty damm good for summit so compact.

Not forgetting the funky flask they come in

in a typical ''stw styled slightly irrevelant post'' way...

the topeak hexus/hummer is very ggod, and cheaper too.

rusts a bit but functionally very good.

The chain tool was a bit small for my hands, so I go a seperate Topeak chain tool and multi-tool for about £16 quid which I have to be honest I prefer - but that's just down to the ergonomics in my hands and the actual tool is fine. Use one on my road bike (fewer chain issues) and my wife uses one.

I had a 19 (before some schmuck nicked my camelback, bike, stand and helmet!) and didn't rate it. Go for a simpler tool with separate chain tool; the chain tool on that one was rubbish.

It's OK but as it's not a Hexus, can't really recommend it... Best multitool out there by a country mile.
