Hey, everybody. I'm back with this week's Tuesday tip and in this week's video
We're going to be talking about multi tools. So the first thing that we're going to do is go over
What's in my multi-tool and then we're going to run down all of?
The tools that are available for purchase right now as well as one that should be coming out this month, so let's get into it
So what I think is so cool about these multi tools is the fact that
Almost everything that you need to take apart your entire bike
fits in this small convenient package that'll go into a book bag or even a pocket if it needs to rather than carrying around an
entire book bag full of tools
The other thing that's so awesome about them is the fact that you don't have to use everything that comes in here
And you can exchange tools for other tools and make it fit your needs for example
I have the dK Random Wrench of V2 and stock this thing comes with a six millimeter allen socket a
15 millimeter deep well socket a five millimeter allen socket a 17 millimeter epl socket and extension
And the cap also doubles as a spoke wrench as you can see by the allen wrench sticking out
I have more than what comes with this thing in it right now
Let's open it up, and I'll show you what I have in my random wrench
so first we've got the eight millimeter allen socket this comes in handy for a ton of different things on the bike and
this little hole in the cap here literally fits perfectly over this so I can fit it just in the end here, so
next we've got the 17 millimeter socket and extension that comes with the tool originally and
obviously, this is something that everyone can use for our back wheels or front wheels maybe even
Then we've got a seven millimeter allen socket
I have this in here because I had the profile crank bolt and
Sometimes those profile prank bolts are seven millimeter or whatever size is equivalent in Standard
This is a really random size, and I have a couple friends who use it too still so that's why I keep it in here
Next we've got
Two allen wrenches that I use for my brakes if I need to so it's pretty awesome
You can fit random allen wrenches in here along with all of the other tools
next we've got a
9/16 socket I have this because I used to use this on my crank bolt and it fits in here
So why not leave it in here?
Then finally we've got the six millimeter allen socket that comes with the tool originally
So as you can see I have a ton of different stuff in here besides
what originally comes in there so you can customize these multi tools to fit your needs and
if you're good at puzzles
Because this stuff
barely fits in here you can make these tools work for exactly what you need to and maybe even sit enough to take apart your
Entire bike so as you can see here things aren't in here perfectly so the tool doesn't go back together exactly, right?
That's why I said this kind of like a puzzle here
So now we've got that in there. We can put the eight millimeter in put the cap on
And there's almost everything I need to take apart my entire bike so I always run down
What's in my random wrench let's run down everything that comes in all of the other?
Multi tools the first one we're going to talk about is the shadow multi-tool this one comes in F
59.99 and it comes with a chain breaker a 17 millimeter deep socket a 15 millimeter pedal wrench a 10 millimeter wrench
spoke Wrench tire levers
Allen Socket with
7/32 quarter Inch 5 Millimeter 6 millimeter and eight millimeter Changeable Allen bits A
Hammer which is Built-in and a bottle opener
next we're going to talk about the animal multi-tool this one comes in at fifty four ninety five and it has a
15 millimeter Pedal Wrench A
3/8 Socket driver a 3/8 to 1/2 inch extension a
17 millimeter deep well socket with a half inch drive an allen socket with
7/32 quarter inch five six and Eight Millimeter Allen bits A
Chain breaker a spoke wrench and the end cap on it also doubled as a hammer
next we've got the dK Random wrench which comes in at
$39.99 it has six eight and ten millimeter wrenches a
15 millimeter Pedal wrench a 3/8 socket driver A
3/8 Extension five and Six Millimeter Allen Sockets
Fifteen and seventeen millimeter deep well sockets and a tire lever and spoke Wrench
so after that we've got the tall order pocket socket which comes in at Seventeen ninety five and it has
six and eight millimeter wrenches and a 17 millimeter
Socket last we're going to talk about the odyssey tool this one should be available sometime this month. Which is March
2017 and it's going to run
29.99 it has five six and eight millimeter allen's a 17 millimeter socket and
15 and 17 millimeter wrenches so now that we've gone over all of the available Multi tools and
What they come with let's talk about which one is probably the best value for your money
so I'm going to go with the dK Random reg B3 as the best value multi-tool right now because it's
$39.99 which is 15 to 20 dollars cheaper than the more expensive shadow and animal tools
and it comes with everything that they come with except for the standard size allen wrenches and
The chain Breakers, I'm not sure if you can fit a chain breaker in here because I haven't tried yet
but I do know that you can fit standard size allen wrenches in place of something else if you need them and that
Flexibility at the lower cost is why this is my pick for the best value multi-tool for your money?
I don't like the lower cost options because of how limited they are
For example the tall order you only get three different tools
And I'm the kind of person who if something breaks. I like to be able to fix it
No matter what and the odyssey tool. I'm not a huge fan of because you can't change out
What goes into it because it folds open like a knife and all of the options are
built into the tool itself
And I don't know if I'd really want to use that as a hammer the same way that you could with this or the other
Multi tools that have hammers built in so these have done all of the available options for Multi tools for BMX right now
