Blimey what do you guys do with your multi-tool?
I've had a Blackburn multitool for more than 15 years (can't remember when exactly I bought it - could have been
Evans in Woking in 1990) and a couple of Cranks Bros' for more than 7 years (I like to have several sets of on-road repair kits so there's one on each bike being ridden in any season). All in perfect condition - no rust (but I do give them a once over with WD40 once a year) or damaged tools. I've even got a couple of cheapo ones (
Halfords and Poundland) which were bought in emergencies and they do the biz but I wouldn't probably rely on them in the long term.
But then I'm a weak and feeble girly so maybe that's the reason
- no overtightening etc.
