Review on Efficient Blackburn Big Switch 15 Functions Bike Multi-Tool in Black, One Size: A Comprehensive must-have! by Amanda Ellis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great tool box - highly recommend

I've owned many different multi tools and this is by far my favourite. It covers all my needs and is extremely versatile. The case fits easily in my saddlebag. Not only does it have all the necessary hex and torx wrenches, but it also has a chain breaker that includes a Presta valve puller, spoke wrench and disc brake expander. The handle system gives you plenty of leverage. I've already found this useful as the bike shop tightened my thru axles to the point where I don't think the mini wheel removal tool would work. I carry a patch for park boots in an inside pocket. You can put your driver's license or credit card in the same pocket. The rubber on the case was torn, but still annoyed me. It was too hard and I didn't have to ride in my saddlebag. The kit does not include a Phillips screw. At first I thought it was crazy, but I couldn't find any Phillips head screws on the bike designed for this kit. My old bike had several Phillips head screws including derailleur stopper bolts and brake pad change bolts. Everything seems to be moving towards hex heads now. I found that the standard drill bit comes at the end of the main tool and planned on using it until I found out I didn't need it.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Upgradeable
