new bike tool....

looks good on paper, and i'm a pocket tool dork (especially in Ti) but i'm thinking that if the tolerances aren't real tight it's going to round off your nuts. just the 15mm box w/ a 5mm hex in a pocketable package would be nice, but i think i'll wait for a decent sale.

In my experience I need allen wrenches way more often than I'd need all those box wrenches. An allen multi-tool and a crescent wrench would probably be just as useful.

/not advocating the use of crescent wrenches unless it's all you have.

The only usable parts will be the bits.

No chain tool? No butterfly shank?

Another useless hipstertool. Note the coolness-mandatory bottle opener.

No 4mm, 5mm hex/Allen keys? And for what on a bike would one need a 16mm wrench? Don't trust that the 15mm wrench would work at wheel-nut torque specs, either...

Tool fail.

Yeah, I hate that awkward Mako tool, but I have their stand-alone spoke wrench and it's nice.

...so nice, it looks like they've discontinued it. It's the lower-right tool in this pic.

oh, vile temptress!

at least PTX is more affordable than the Peter Atwood stuff that inspired it. i used to have quite the Atwood collection, but i dumped it when prices went silly....to buy bike stuff of course.... :)
