Park Tool MT-30

Top Pro

Great for fixie and single-speed bikes

The Park has the ideal selection of base tools (2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8mm hex wrenches, T25 & T30 Torx drivers, a combo cross/straight tip screwdriver) as well 8 & 15mm box wrenches, which are essential for removing the rear wheel on single-speed bikes. See More

Top Con

Not as comfortable as a stand alone box wrench

A stand alone box wrench gives more leverage for removing the rear wheel, which makes the process easier. However, that doesn't mean the box wrench included in the Park tool is useless- it'll still get the job done, just not as comfortably as a tool dedicated for that purpose See More

Top Pro

Great for both home and roadside repairs

The Crank Brothers m19 multitool has 19 tools- a chain tool ( 8/9/10 speed compatible), spoke wrench ( #0, 1, 2, 3) hex wrenches ( #2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8) open wrench (8mm, 10mm) screwdrivers (phillips #1, phillips #2, flat #2) torx (t-10, t-25).
