I have an old multitool that luckily I've never had the need to use on a breakdown but I want to get a good one now.

I looked at a few and the problem I have with them is that they come with tools I don't want in a multitool, ie. spoke key, I already have a good spokes key that I carry with me, tyre levers (unsure they are as good as the ones I carry with me...... so I've decided to get the Lezyne V-11

I think this complement the tools I carry with me.... I would have liked one with an 8 and 10mm open spanners too but this will do UNLESS someone knows of a better one.

Crank Bros Multi 19 tool has all you want including the 8 and 10 mm spanners.
I've had mine 7 years and use it more often than my standalone tools. Nothings rounded off, bent or broke. It's tougher than John Wayne.

Same here - had mine years. The main tool I take with the MTB now. The chain splitter and spoke key work great, but used on someone else's bikes, not mine.

I got this from Cycle Republic. It’s brilliant


They are doing this one which I quite like....

I have the Crank Bros 18 multi tool and it's paid for itself on numerous occasions. For home use, I have single tools, but for touring a good multitool is hard to beat.

I have a Lezyne one with a similar chain tool which I tried using on an old chain but failed to get enough leverage to push the pin out. So I got a Topeak one which uses a tyre lever fitted to one side of the tool that gives better leverage... In principle....
