I had to dock a star for the poorest finish of any tool I've ever seen in my life. It's pretty amazing how bad the example Amazon sent me really is.
It's made in the USA, while some newer park tools are actually made in China now-a-days, and I have a small fortune invested in Park Tools. The China made Park Tools I have are actually finished so much nicer than this thing. Anyway, enough about the finish, let's get to the good stuff.
Brilliant design, although it would have been nice if it had 2.5mm and 2mm hex wrenches, and a #2 Phillips, but oh well. Small, lightweight, and fits easily in my portable tool sack, that I carry on rides. The flat head screwdriver, actually fits one plane of #2 Phillips screws in a pinch. It actually fits really well, almost like they did that on purpose, although I'd rather have the real thing, since there are no flat-headed screws/bolts on any of my bikes! Add a separate chain-breaker tool to this, and you'll have the most reliable on-road bike kit around!
I wrapped the handle with 550 paracord in a Cobra Stitch, kind of like seen on some fixed blade knives. This really adds comfort, as a make-shift handle, as well as having the cordage in an emergency. (I once towed another bike all the way home, because their pedal broke off - one piece of 550 cord easily towed the rider on the bike!) The paracord wrapping also makes it not rattle around in the Timbuk2 On The Go Tool Shed, Black, Small (small one) and scratch up the other tools in there.
There are no markings identifying sizes of each portion of the tool. That would have been a nice (easily done) addition, but not necessary.
Of course it doesn't have a 15mm axle wrench on it! (as another reviewer complained about) That would have made the tool much larger, and heavier. I carry a Surly Jethro Tule for that role.
This is strictly for my "travel kit" tool bag, at home, in the shop, I use much more comfortable tools - but on a ride, this is a great, compact solution to most fasteners on modern, better quality bikes.
The finish is so poor though, with sharp "seams" and machine marks, that this may very well be the last Park Tool Brand I ever buy. I can see their quality is degrading, and I'm jumping off the boat before it sinks. If you're like me, you'll finish the tool with a small file, which should have been done by the maker at the factory.
Yes, I would recommend the poop out of this tool, it's cheap and will probably outlast any Topeak or what-have-you. The design is ingenious, as it actually works to get at all my fasteners, even my crank-bolts! Even though this tool is the shizz-nit, I still carry my Crank Brothers Pica Premium Multi Tool, because it's so svelt.
I chose the Pica over the Crank Brothers Pica Plus Premium Multi-Tool because I would lose those two sockets in a day, and I don't really need the sockets, but if I did - I would go with a 3-way "Y" wrench like the 3-Way Y-Tool Sockets because the Park Tool version is too large. Mine is actually made by "LIFU", and it's the ONLY cheap tool I own! I swear! I got it ten years ago, because I was in a pinch, but have since enjoyed using the poop out of it, and it's never let me down! My tool kit consists of Snap-On ratchets and wrenches, MAC TOOLS screwdrivers, Park Tools bicycle specific stuff, Lezyne CNC Pedal Rod Pedal Wrench, Lezyne 3-Way Hex, etc. I just dig the LIFU socket "Y" thing, because it's smaller than Park's and fits in my tool sack. Don't judge me!
(I chose the C.B. Pica over the LeZyne Carbon 10, because the LeZyne doesn't have a 2.5mm hex, and the LeZyne's chain breaker is aluminum. I can sacrifice a little weight for the more robust stainless chain breaker on the Pica. The Pica also has clicks/detents, and I prefer off-center tools, so it lays flatter profile. I also like how the Pica has all the tools labeled for size and it was WAY cheaper! (sorry for talking so much about off-topic tools!) Don't judge me!
