Review on Topeak Hexus X Multi Tool by Wes Thao

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice design with a small flaw

This tool is really well made and has a thoughtful design, but unfortunately there is one thing that wasn't considered problematic and that is the wide body of the tool. For example, if you need to use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the derailleur stops, they are usually located directly opposite the bike frame. I couldn't rotate the tool while it was aligned with the smallest chainring stop adjustment screw because the body of the tool is so wide that it presses against the frame. You have to tilt it enough to get past that you risk damaging the tiny, fragile adjustment screw. Other than that I really like this tool, but will most likely buy a separate small cruciform wrench to complement it.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some flaws
