Have you used those in the field? If you have, how well do the bits hold up to use? My only concern is the same as any other bit tool - dropping it somewhere unfortunate. That and I seem to recall needing an 8mm hex for something I did recently - will need to check.
Yes, I’ve used it quite a bit. I haven’t used the chain tool but I haven’t used the chain tool on any multitool but once. There is the possibility of dropping a bit...I dropped one in a planter but , for the most part it’s a good tool. The bits are pretty good quality as well. It doesn’t come with an 8mm bit but you can pick one of those up from various places. Google “hex head insert”.
