Im preparing for my third tour now, first two were in Ireland and now im planning on just over 2 weeks camping in France.
Now between a friend and i we will have enough spares but for tools i have only ever carried a small multi tool for use on the bike.
I had never thought and im glad i never needed additional tools such as pliers, a knife or scissors etc. So i have been looking into buying a multi tool to carry alongside my bike tool which is just allan keys and screwdrivers and a chain tool.
Do you guys carry any multi tools such as a swiss army knife or leatherman? s it justifiable to pay the extra money for a product made by say leatherman over a cheap imitation? After all i may not even use it?
Also what are the legalities of having one of these in a pannier, im aware its illegal to carry a locking blade unless you can prove that you need to use it
