Hi folks,
Anyone got either of these models and have a weight/view on functionality?

Looking for something racey and light so doesn't need to have all the gadgets
I've just ordered the 11 in 1 - will post up with some feedback when it arrives, got the dispatch notice this morning so might be with me tomorrow
Ok cheers
Seems pretty good, especially for the money. Comes in at about 180g, heavier than the Crank Bros "ten" tool I have, but lighter than that plus the cheap Cyclo chain splitter that previously occupied my tool pocket. Has all the tools i might need, short of pliers.
My jobsworth chaintool broke the second time I used it.
The chaintool on my 15 years old Topeak multitool is still going strong after countless uses.
I've had the 11in1 from Wiggle under another brand, didn't round off/snap or any other problems, not sure there's much you can do to make it (or any tool) lighter as they're all going to me made of steel.
Also got the 11 in 1. First thing noticed was the weight but comparing to a specialized EMT Pro that cost 7x as much. Not fair comparison really and good for money. Not tried the chain tool but the specialized one has not let me down.
Ok thanks guys. Think that's a little heavy, anybody got the get me home tool or spygadget?
Does +/-25g in a tool really matter?
IME lighter tools tend to be the ones with really stubby 'tools' as that's the only thing that weighs anything, which makes them all but useless unless the bolt you need to tighten up protrudes from whatever it's in, which inevitably when you need it will seem like almost none of them.
In a word, yes! But not alone, added together with other weight savings it may well make a difference when racing. Could be the cheapest 50g saved. And before anyone says it, yes I'm sat here eating rabbit food and have just taken a large dump.
Ok folks so on-one direct couldn't tell me the weights as they were in a warehouse somewhere that someone couldn't possibly contact to find out...
So went ahead and bought the get you home and spygadget. Both come in at around 80g so pretty good really. Going to have a fettle with the bikes to see if they are missing anything that I might need but doubt it, hopefully the chain tools work ok. Obviously need to carry a tyre lever separately but 100g saving on my pre existing tool ain't bad for the money.
Topeak Hummer.
Never without it.
Sooner carry a heavier tool that works.
My Hummer must be 15yrs old.
You're missing the point... (read above)
