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.

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.

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....
