The multi-tool Topeak Alien II is particularly focused on mountain bikes and has tools that can be more for other types of cycles (such as Torx screwdriver, usually only present in disc brake mountain bike), so I recommend that, before you shop, check if your tools make sense for your needs. The materials of the topeak alien 2 II is the stainless steel knife and screwdriver, hardened steel for the rest of tools and a very sturdy plastic body. It comes with a nylon sheath with clip and takes HD 8. 6 by 4. 3 by 4. 1 inches, weighing 270 grams. This multitool bike is designed in two parts which are kept caged to minimize space and can be separated by pressing a release button and sliding, in order to deploy the tools comfortably, but can also be used without separating the parts. Only one of these sections has a lock for the tools against accidental closure, in the case of stainless steel knife (not very comfortable for the bulkiness of the body that serves as a handle, but so strong that serves up to opener) , so block them from opening and prevent accidental cuts. The tools we have are blocking: the spanners of 8, 9 and 10 mm. , Knife, can opener, screwdriver, chain tool and allen wrench 8 mm. With die-cut unpolished and lack of smoothness of its axes (whose hardness is adjustable anyway), it may seem, the user accustomed to the quality of other multiherrameintas, poorly finished product, but all the vessels of the topeak alien 2 II is built to do the job, in addition to the rough finish has its counterpart in the excellent price at which you can find. When compared with the invoice and common design bicycle multi-tool, level of finish is acceptable. More than a bicycle multitool to carry every day, for what is too big and heavy, the topeak alien 2 II is good for long trips. In this case it take to save the weight of too many tools and be very hard not to get us out of trouble, and we can say that this truly portable toolbox is used to virtually disassemble and reassemble the entire bike (except large items table). It even has a pedal wrench that is used in combination with 8-mm Allen wrench, although they recommend using it only in emergencies because it is not strong enough to use regularly (as a cyclist, I can comment here that removing a pedal she seems nothing short of miraculous, so tightly clenched that are usually the pedals, but rather can be used to assemble and get by until you can have access to a good key. ) Some other tools are noteworthy removing covers integrated into the body, which also includes a peak to deflate the chambers. The chain tool, very good, used the help of the two parties, in combination with the hook for chains, which is used to avoid taking the food chain. The topeak alien 2 II may be useful to have at home if we have better tools for cycling, but in this case, as with all multi-tools, it is best to consider the purchase, if we can, some more appropriate and comfortable, as the Swiss Army knives should be just to get by. On the usefulness in real life Topeak Alien II, I can say that I put it to the test on a journey along the Camino de Levante, from Valencia to Zamora, and I can assure you that we saved the trip several times, and became especially noticeable when you gave me unusual access to areas such as hydraulic suspension, I know that I could not with another more normal multi-tool I own. There are three redundant wrench pedal wrench (8, 9 and 10 mm. ), But we can not say that about, if we think that we need to hold the nuts from the two ends of a screw (a situation that I lived at need to remove a rack). There is a possibility of getting two accessories for attaching the cover to the frame or saddle. . . .
