Crack Brothers Multi Bicycle Fool (17-Function)Review by Bartok Kinski, 2010-08-17
I wear tight fitting spandex when I ride so I don't have any pockets to put this Multi Bicycle Tool which includes 171 Tools, so I just put it in between my legs, it bulks me up and makes everyone stare at me more but I don't mind.
I've never actually used the Multi Bicycle Tool because it's pretty much worthless, since everything is so small or awkward to hold or tighten with it. I just think it's cool to have it when riding, although it does crunch me up if you know what I mean.
Also, it does not have a hammer, which comes in handy when beating your headset or pedals.
No flashlight either so useless at night.
Freaking Love This Whiz-daddy.

I bought 3 for me and my two kids. Has good leverage for on the go repairs and has most stuff needed for quicky adjustments. Bottom line- Me Likey!
Great Tool

The multi tool 17 is the better of the multi tools. I use it at home and if needed on the road. I just can't say enough good things about this tool. I would not ride very far without it. Get a folding plier and a short lenght of wire and you are ready for almost anyghing.
Great tool

but wish it has a tire change tool included. It is small for all it has in it.
Great all around tool - don't ride without one!
Review by D. Mayer, 2009-03-24
I enjoy doing my own bicycle repair, but my tool collection is woefully imcomplete. The Crank Brothers M-17 multi-tool goes a long way towards fixing that. It has a full set of hex wrenches (allen keys) for doing brake, threadless headset, derailler, fender, and some crank adjustments. It also has a genious integrated chain tool/spoke wrench for breaking/setting links and truing wheels. One issue with the chain tool: it is quite difficult to use with the newer beaded-pin Shimano chains as there is nothing on the tool to brace your non-turning hand. Not impossible, but difficult. This is true of almost all chain tools that come with multi-tools. If you're going to do frequent chain repairs, consider getting a dedicated shop-grade chain tool.
True to Crank Brothers' form, the tool is very well designed and very attractively finished. It's solid steel - not for gram counters, but perfect for recreational and touring cyclists. The 19-tool variety only adds an extra size of philips and flat screwdrivers.
The only improvement I would make is to lock the fold-out tools at a 270 degree angle so you would get right-angle locked, 180 degree unlocked, and 90 degree unlocked. However, in real world applications, it's not a big deal.
