The selection of bits on this tool are excellent they would cover most bike needs, I love the tyre plug tool for tubeless riders and a big thing for me is the 8mm hex bit is not a socket that is detachable and can get lost. It’s a chunky tool, which some may not like, you know when it’s in your pocket! But this can play to its advantage in offering superior grip during use. It’s not the lightest tool in the line up but that’s not a bad thing because that extra weight has gone into make bits that look like they can handle more torque. I love the functional, no nonsense styling with subtle colour accents to give it a bit of identity.
#CRANK BROTHERS MULTI TOOL 20 FULL#
The problem with reviews is that you never get a full story of the situation, this was just one review so a large pinch of salt is needed.Ī further report i found was the chain breaker tool deflected under heavy load, this could indicate a bit of a weakness in design but is more likely that the person either hadn’t set the tool up correctly or their chain was overly dirty. There was only two complaints I could find relating to this issue so I wouldn’t expect it to be common for every product.Īnother complaint I found was relating to an excess of material on the valve core and rotor straightener, the person explained how they had to file it down to fit. The bits appear to be plated for corrosion protection so this complaint could indicate the plating easily chips off or the person somehow damaged it during use. There were a very small number of complaints about the tool bits being prone to rust. Research for customer feedback was generally very positive and the vibe was that it is a great quality tool from a well known and establish brand. The tool has 20 high tensile Cr-V bits including the clip on case and some integrated tools. The bolt holding the tool together can be tightened or slackened to increase or decrease the friction force when moving the tool into or out of position.Īs mentioned earlier the tool has a plastic case that clip onto the body of the tool, the case contains the spare tyre plugs but also has moulded portions to hold spare links for your chain. The bits all have loops on the end through which a bolt is inserted and tightened to keep the tool together. The tool construction is similar to most others in its class using a hard anodised outer body piece with a Matt finish, there is also knurled portion of the outer body piece to aid with grip when the tool is in use. What does the Crankbrothers M20 multi-tool look like? There is a small range of colours available for the outer body sections, gold, Matt black/red, matte black and nickel. The M20 is the largest multi-tool in their line up measuring 8.9×5.4×2.6cm with the snap on case and the tool weighs in at a fairly hefty 203g.
