Review on 🚲 PRO BIKE TOOL 17 in 1 Bike Multitool: Compact & Lightweight Repair Kit for Road & Mountain Bikes by Jeffrey Kue

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheap, inaccurate, too short, more expensive than best alternative (with link)

I ordered this 17-in-1 pro bike tool ($28) to slip in my bike saddlebag and this one from CrankBrothers 19-in-1 ($26) for my wife (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0768NKHZ9). What an amazing difference! This professional bicycle tool is manufactured very cheaply. At every point you feel like it will break if you press too hard. Perhaps that is why the instruments are so incredibly short: to mitigate their fragility. Also, the end of each tool isn't "precise," but rather a cheap shape that ends loosely in the holes they go in. Aside from being short, it's a very cumbersome tool. On the downside, CrankBrother's tool is amazingly durable (heavier, but small enough that it doesn't matter much). When you hold it in your hand, it feels very solid and you feel absolutely safe after putting a lot of effort into using it. It has more tools (the chain tool is much more precise and has auxiliary pins). The tool ends are very precise and well made. One last detail, the ProTool comes with a very fragile PU leather plastic case, while the CrankBrother tool comes with an extremely durable and stylish metal case. Conclusion: There is no longer any reason to spend on an inferior tool. Choose Crank Brothers (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0768NKHZ9) or ParkTool (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OZBJ9C). I strongly advise against buying this multifunction device. Tool.
