What is the Crank Brothers Multi 19 Tool?
The Multi-19 Tool by Crank Brothers is a compact, lightweight, super durable and highly-functional little gem! It's no.2 (after helmet) on the check-list of essentials to have when going for a ride.
The Multi 19 has all the necessary tools to tighten, torque and repair anything on your bike.
The 19 tools neatly organised into a single frame, like a swiss army knife, making it dead easy to flip out a tool use it and flip it back into place. No fiddling around with trying to get the tool closed up. In fact, it's easier than a swiss army knife because you can actually see the tools!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the chain link remover really work?
A: Yes it works fine and doesn't push the pin right through, so you won't lose it. Remember to take spare links with you though.
Q: How heavy is it?
A: 175 grams without the case. That's less than half a can of coke. It's also much lighter than most competitors.
Q: What does the 19 have that the 17 doesn't?
A: 2 smaller screwdrivers - phillips and flat. It also comes with a light-weight stainless steel case
Q: How do I use the spoke key - won't it be tricky?
A: Nope - it unscrews from the tool which allows you full freedom
Q: How heavy is the carry case?
A: 43g. Not much for tidyness. Obviously you don't have to take this with you if weight is very important.
Q: I've heard changing the deraileur limit screws can be fiddly - is this true?
A: It's a bit fiddly because the tool's body is bulky, but it's perfectly possible. The tool is designed to be used out on the trails. Back in the garage you'd probably use your standard screwdriver.
