Surprising, since the shape and placement of the fixed tools are it's most brilliant aspect. There's no folding out to do, so you have access to all of the tools with only one hand. There's no stabilizing to do because the tools don't pivot, so it doesn't fall out of position if you change your grip. The 5mm and 6mm hex heads are the longest so they can reach into bottle cage bolts, while the 2mm is the stubbiest for short-reach jobs like pedal tension screws. From a design perspective, it's really smart.
