An elegant tool that does almost anything I could ask.
by William Renfroe (4 out of 5 stars)
February 17, 2017

This is a well made tool with elegant design. It's a bit on the heavy side to stick in a jersey pocket. I carry one in the luggage bag of my commuter bike and also in my Camelback on my mountain bike.

The only reservation I have, and the reason I give 4 stars instead of 5, is that the small driver parts would be really easy to lose on the trail.

I don't know whether the chain tool will work on an 11 speed chain. I'm told that they "probably" will and I don't like "probably" but I haven't found a good multi-tool that claims to have an 11 speed chain tool so I can't really complain much about this one.

Great feel for a multi-tool
by John (5 out of 5 stars)

This is probably the best feeling multi-tool in the hand when you use it. The Y wrench style has always been good in my book. I also like that the tool has a really flat profile and lends itself well to packing in your bag, it doesn't create the "lump" that a lot of multi tools create.

Great bike tool
by Kevin Dorff (5 out of 5 stars)

Great bike tool. A little bulkier, perhaps, than folding tools, but having the tools in a Y configuration makes them easier to use in nearly every case. Having an inflator and a chain breaker in the set is very helpful. And the little box of bits with foam to keep them in place gives you nearly all the tools you could need on the go. Kudos!

As others have said, cheap case! Also missing ...
by Sean Murray (2 out of 5 stars)

As others have said, cheap case! Also missing some essential tools, of course you don't realize it until you need it. Big and bulky, doesn't fit into a seat bag and takes over an entire jersey pocket. Seems to be more of a design experiment. Always a real PITA to take out the tools to find the one you need.

Very clever design. Unique as a bike tool with the Y wrenches. High quality. Great tool.

Solid - note on photos
by DC (5 out of 5 stars)
April 8, 2015

I just bought this; haven't needed to use it yet on the road/trail. First things first: as of April 2015 the Y-12 and Y-16 have their photos reversed on Amazon. Everything else (specs, title, price) are accurate. I ordered the Y-16 (even though it had the Y-12 photo) and got the Y-16. So basically ignore the photo for ordering! (Go to crankbrothers.com for full photos of each.)

My first instinct when opening was the weight. It's a little heavy...or so it seemed. Just for kicks, I pulled out the scale. It weighed 257 g and is labeled at 260 g, so a little lighter than listed. But I weighed my little saddle bag that has a standard (

Lezyne
) multi tool, tube, little patch kit, two CO2 cartridges, cartridge inflator and in came in 15 g LESS than the Y-16 and a tube, patch kit, 2 CO2 cartridges. So in other words, overall this is a little bit heavier, even though there's no saddle bag since the stuff would go in your pockets. This is due to the black plastic frame of the tool and the little compartments, plus the heavier Y-tools. Those weight penalties are more than the saddle bag. But only a little, so I like it! I'd rather add a teeny bit more weight to be able to use real Y-tools instead of a little standard multi tool!

I used the Y- hex wrenches at home as a test. No problems there. The steel quality isn't top-notch, but this isn't for everyday use. It'll last a lifetime for saddle height changes, etc. every couple months - which is the intended use for a pocket tool. The little bits that fit in the container are great; held in by magnet on the Y-tool. My only long term concern is here: those bits are held into that container by foam so they don't rattle. By taking that foam out to access the bits regularly, perhaps the foam will no longer stay in place? Time will tell. But this will not only lead to rattling, which would drive me crazy, but also possibly to the bits falling out. I don't anticipate that problem, but I see it as a possibility over the course of a year or two of use.

Again, I haven't had to use it in a real situation yet. But as long as the inflator works, it'll be worth the 5 stars I'm giving it. (The chain breaker seems slightly poor quality, the pin in particular. But as long as it works once or twice in emergencies, that's all that matters...and I hopefully will never have to find out!) I like the shape; it fits in a jersey pocket easily. Plus the ingenuity makes it a fun tool!

Happy with the product
by Arturo (5 out of 5 stars)
July 29, 2016

I can't believe the things I can do with this tool. It's great :)

At the beginning I thought it was too big, but now I take it in the bag of the jersey and not even feel it is there. The accessory to attach the co2 container have never been used, but the rest of the tool is really helpful. In the reservoir for the small parts there's space for a small sand paper and few patches. So now I'm complete for a ride :)

Well worth the money
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)
August 30, 2016

Crank Brothers has won a customer for life. This tool is not only super easy to use and small enough to carry around, but its so well made that i even use it for in home repairs. The tool has some weight to it which feels great to hold and has saved me several times from getting stranded. If you are looking for a tool to always carry with you or even just to have around the house, this is a very good choice.

I like all of the CB tools and gadgets
by Alex (4 out of 5 stars)

I like all of the CB tools and gadgets, this is no different. The weight and size did surprise me, bigger and heavier then I expected. I would only use this in non-competitive situations. Nice build quality.
