I have an Alien RX, I can't knock the number of tools for the weight, but you kind of have to sort of baby the thing. For one, the rubber O-ring on the 6-mm hex bolt broke, making the tip fall off too easily. Also the lever that keeps the two halfs broke and it would separate too easily. And if you have disc brakes, the T25 torx head falls off too. I can't fault Topeak though, they replaced mine under warentee quickly and easily though.
However, the metal in the RX is really soft which leads to all of my problems.
