Your perfect tool

A conglomeration of tools suits me best. Everything in one tools are normally awkward, so I always carry a PAC tool bag. It means I can easily move my tools between my messenger bag
and my purse. In my tool bag I have pedro's tyre levers, park tool Allen keys, an adjustible spanner and, because bottle openers are SO passé, a campagnolo corkscrew.

Personally, my favorite tools are ones that are well made to do one job, and will continue doing it until airport security takes it off you.

park tool allen key set and pedros trixie and a tyre lever. i wouldn't like them all in one.

i carry a couple of 15mm spanners, spare tubes, puncture repair kit, tyre levers,pump, chain breaker multi tool and Allen keys amongst all the other bits and pieces i carry for my daily commute . i think i need a bigger bag...

+1 on using individual tools designed for purpose. Currently use crappy pound shop adjustable spanners for wheel nuts put gonna invest in a pair of Snap On ring spanners and set of T-handled short allen keys once i've received my archies rollup. Multi tools are nice but i've never had one that wasn't far more awkward to use than the real deal. Weight doesn't really bother me in the same way that i'm happy to carry a krypto fag instead of a cheap coil lock. Weighs more but works better.

For beer. Why rummage around looking for a multi tool, doesn't everyone have some form of bottle opener on their keys?
That said i do want a combined chainwhip/lockring tool. But thats only cos you use em at the same time...

Bottled beer is for pansies.

sometimes you just have to buy what's cheap

especially if you are the kind of person that drinks outdoors

I've never understood why these are also sold on their own, who uses a chainwhip then doesn't use a lockring spanner? Suicide hub riders excluded of course.

The vast majority of riders; you need one to hold the cassette on a geared bike when you undo the cassette lock ring. You can't combine them in one tool like you can for fixed, because you have to use both at the same time, not sequentially like on a fixed bike.

Ah yes, forgot about geared riders there, mini-rant fail.

I've always had a bottle opener on my keys, but your post made me realise that I NEVER drink bottled beer. I've removed it now. I've still got one on my mega trendy Trixie tool for emergencies.

and those to rotafix the cog on the use a lockring spanner.

My perfect tools would be a combination of ononelangster, a bit of quickvit, maybe a spoonful of pistantor, and a nice whopping comback of donut!.

there you go, the perfect tools.

why dýou need a chainwhip?

although the bit about not needing a lockring's a bit worryin.

why dýou need a chainwhip?

because it's better.

To answer the OP - our most perfect tool (in terms of being a tool) doesn't post on here any longer...

can't really have beer without pizza

(sorry no clue how to shrink that)

So on the tweed ride would one carry a billiard ball in some hose?

Anyone that sells a bike tool with a bottle opener on it needs to be punched to death.

Teetotalers need to be punched in the face until they beg for vodka. Then they need to be covered in the vodka and set alight. Then they need to be pushed from an high speed train. Then they need to be banged good and hard from behind. Failing all that, maybe a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.

that man needs a sandwich

Top peak multi tool is good with its own little chain-link tool and two tire levers cleverly disguised on the outside. Still, if you get continental gator skins you shouldn't ever need to be changing a puncture. Mine have holes all over them and still no flat since about 10 months ago.
