Multi-Tool for Bikes: Blackburn Switch with 8 Essential Functions Review

Overall great little package. The tools are beautifully finished and ergonomic. I like that the package has room for cash/cards/etc.

I would take this kit on a longer bike tour without any problems. It has solid, fixed parts and no moving parts (except for the small spring balls that hold the bits to the handle). long-handled tool. The design is a perfect balance between lightness and comfort and reliability. Round hex keys are great for finding the right angle on hard-to-reach fasteners when you have shelving and the like in your direct access path. The whole point of this tool is having something that won't break, has a…
