PRO Mini Tool 8 Functions

 

This small but mighty multi-tool features eight essential tools for making adjustments out on the road. Perfect for road cyclists and commuters, the PRO Mini Tool 8 includes a Phillips-head PH2 screwdriver as well as a range of hex tools including 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 mm bits.

 

With the compact Mini Tool 8, you can tackle the most common fixes and adjustments to your bike like dialing in derailleur limits for crisp shifting, changing your saddle height, or tightening your bike’s handlebar and stem. When you’re done using it, the durable chrome plated bits fold neatly into the Mini Tool’s lightweight alloy body and slips easily into your jersey pocket, saddle bag or commuter backpack.

PRO Mini Tool 15 Functions

 

For road cyclists or mountain bikers who want added mechanical security while out riding, the PRO Mini Tool 15 offers a more robust selection of tools that can tackle most road or trail-side fixes. In addition to the eight essential tools found on the PRO Mini Tool 8, this 15-function multi-tool features T10 and T25 Torx bits as well as a chaintool and assortment of spoke wrenches including 3.6, 3.75, 4.0, and 4.4 mm.

 

With the proliferation of disc brakes on both road and mountain bikes, the T25 Torx tool is essential for tightening 6-bolt rotors while additional components also use Torx bolts that can be tuned using the Mini Tool 15

 

Riders will also appreciate the sleek chaintool attachment that remains tucked away on the tool until you really need it. A broken chain could leave you stranded out on the road or trail but with the Mini Tool 15 you’ll be back on the bike in no time.

PRO Mini Tool 22 Functions

 

PRO’s most comprehensive multi-tool delivers 22 essential functions for tackling nearly any mechanical issue out on the road or trail. For backcountry mountain bikers and cyclists that venture out on remote roads, the Mini Tool 22 is a vital component for self-reliance and safety.

 

Packed with functions and features, the Mini Tool 22 is made up of two pieces that slide apart for easy access to each tool. One half of the multi-tool includes the same essential hex, Torx, and Phillips-head bits as the Mini Tool 15 while the other half includes a tire lever, chaintool and chain holder, brake pad spreader, and 7, 8, 9, and 10 mm wrenches.

 

The built-in tire lever ensures riders won’t be stranded with a flat tire while the chaintool and chain holder combination make fixing a broken chain easier than ever before. Also, the cleverly integrated brake pad spreader keeps your wheels spinning even after adjusting or replacing brake pads.

 

With its wide range of functions and features, the Mini Tool 22 is like having a small tool box with you on your rides. And as each tool folds up and the two sides lock together, this compact multi-tool easily fits in your hydration pack, fanny pack, or saddle bag ensuring you’ll be prepared for whatever the road or trail can throw at you.
