Crank Bros Multi-17 Tool

I bought my M17 back in 2009. It�s spent the past 15 years in my saddle bag and still looks like new. Crank Brothers haven�t changed the design (nor have they changed the MSRP) over the years because they didn�t need to - it�s a very well made and functional tool with no gimmicks. When I have needed to use it, the tools just work. Overall, an excellent multi-tool for everyone other than weight weenies, and an excellent value.

Has come in handy for general maintenance; stores nicely in saddle bag. Quality tool!

Great tool, very solid, had to use the chain tool this past week and it worked well. I love the solid feel of this thing even though it is pretty heavy.

This tool really comes in handy when you're on the road. It really is a great tool to have when you go on long rides. Saved my bacon on more than one occasion. It has all the necessary tools you need to make quick repairs. I especially like the chain tool.

Have used the tool at the house. Strong well made product as are all the Crank Bros tools that I own. Would recommend.

I have found this tool invaluable while bikepacking and mountain biking. And I find myself reaching for it while at home as the tools I need are all right there in a small, compact, lightweight format.

It's a bit heavy But what do you expect for a tool that is made of metal )

Easy to carry in bike bag and has several tools that make the repairs on the road easy.

These are well built, high quality tools. Great addition to my seat bag. Highly recommended.

This is the third one of these I've purchased-I have one in the seat bag of each of my bikes. I have used these for a number of on the road adjustments and have even used it to repair a chain. It's sturdy and is easy to use and covers almost every adjustment you might need to make when riding.

A nice compact tool kit for just about anything that can go wrong on the road.

Easy to carry, easy to use and best part easy on the wallet!!!

Luckily I have not needed it yet on the road. I tried it out in the shop and everything worked great.

Best of the compact tools out there.

I have one of these tools in every bike bag. They have never let me down. I have one that keeps falling apart because it lost a bolt that held all the key together but it still function properly. Highly recommended tool.

The chain tool worked flawlessly to repair a broken chain. The over tool is heavy, but that is due to solid construction. I'd buy it again, or recommend it to other.

The tool has all the right tools for riding and taking care of repairs. Took me a while to figure out that you could unscrew the spoke tightener/chain tool from the body of the multi-tool to effectively use the spoke tightener.

My biggest complaint with the tool is the the head of the philips screwdriver is a little too large for adjusting my derailleur and there is no way to keep the screwdriver (and other tools) locked in the up position. When you apply any force these tools fold back down.

But it is an emergency tool and in that regard it gets the job done - just harder to use than I had hoped.

First of all, it has a 4mm hex wrench (not a 3.5 as listed in product description). I have mine sitting in front of me while I am typing this review. As for Quality, it's excellently machined, well made, a little of the hefty side. My plan was to pull out my Park Folding Chain Tool and Park Spoke Wrench out of my mini seat bag and replace them with the Multi 17. The Multi 17 would not fit, took up almost as room as my 700 road tube. Decided to pack it in my jersey pocket instead. It has tools that I will never use. Only hex wrench's I use on rides is a 5,4,3. Phillips screwdriver is too large to use on my derailleurs. No need for a flathead anywhere on my bike.8mm will work for my Look pedals, Never had one come loose on a ride. I broke a chain in my garage for an experiment, using the chain tool. It took a lot of leverage and I had to hold the tool with a rag in my left hand, could not do it otherwise. However in over 40 years of riding I have only broken one chain. This is like the Swiss Army knife of multi tools. I used to pack a Park CT-5 Mini chain Brute. Used it when I broke my one chain. Worded just as well in my shop. I imagine I will never have to use this critter, but it's nice to have just in case.

This is a great tool, nicely made and finished. Allen size is clearly marked. Cleverly designed chain and spoke tool. At 168g it's still suitable to keep in your saddle bag and with the smooth strap it can easily go into your jersey pocket as well.

If you can't fix your problem with this tool you probably need to call a cab.

I carry this with me on my lightweight skinny tire bike. It's very compact, and although not particularly lightweight, it's rugged enough to give me confidence that it won't fail when needed.

It has a the required selection of allen wrenches needed to adjust most of the bolts on today's bikes. It also has a phillips and flat screwdriver as well as a chain tool for emergencies. What is not included are any wrenches for hex head bolts. If there aren't any of those on your bike, it's not a problem. If you do have them, this probably isn't the tool for you.

A compact tool is for minor adjustments on the road and may be some help in an emergency breakdown situation. They're not major surgery. If anything major goes wrong while on the road, it typically requires a toolbox, and this is not a toolbox.
