I have an older one of these I use on my mountain bike. Has everything I need in a pinch. Bought another one for the road bike that I use on long tours. Nice to have a solid set of tools and a chain break just in case. My old one started to come loose over time but just tightened up the hex bolts on the side and good as new.

11 miles from the trail head my chain broke. Pulled out my palm sized CB 17, fixed the chain. Don't leave pavement without it.

You can get a good grip on the tool. which makes it easy and comfortable to use. This also makes it difficult to use it tight spaces. To wide to allow me to make adjustments to my 29er disc brake piston through the spokes. great all around tool, will have years of use.

I dont get on the bike without it. Have cranked on this tool for a couple of years now, and none of the edges are stripping.

A little heavy but this has basically all you need for minor adjustments and roadside saves. Cool to have a chain breaker with you but I've never used one in the field. Pick one up.

You could tune shopping carts and rebuild a gocart with this thing!

A nice group of tools, could also have a smaller size philups screw driver.

I cannot champion the cause of carrying a multitool enough and there have been enough times where I was able to ride out our help a riding partner ride out because I was carrying one. What is nice about this version, it has a Torx wrench for disk brakes, and no protruding parts that mean you can still drink from an unpunctured Camalbak while you are trying to figure out what you just broke going over your handlebars...

I purchased this multi-tool for my husband who commutes by bike every day. He has been using it regularly and is very happy with it overall. It's very sturdy and seems like it will last forever.

I have had to make brake adjustments while on tour with this cool little tool and it works great although you can adjust more than brakes if needed. Well built, slim compact design makes it easy to carry and store. If only it had a knife and spoon attached...

I have one of these in my bike bag for each bike so I can't forget it, relatively low weight and very useful, if you are out in the boonies and something happens this tool can be the difference between a long walk and getting home on your bike.

Just what I was looking for. Well made and a cyclists friend indeed.

I got this multi-tool to prepare myself for the worst. It has nearly everything you could need (aside from a tire lever). I was so glad I was carrying it when my wheel came out of true on a ride and I was able to use the spoke wrench (conveniently located within the chain breaking tool) to get my wheel true enough to ride to a bike shop! Highly Recommended!

I bought my M17 back in 2009. It�s spent the past 15 years in my saddle bag and still looks like new. Crank Brothers haven�t changed the design (nor have they changed the MSRP) over the years because they didn�t need to - it�s a very well made and functional tool with no gimmicks. When I have needed to use it, the tools just work. Overall, an excellent multi-tool for everyone other than weight weenies, and an excellent value.

Has come in handy for general maintenance; stores nicely in saddle bag. Quality tool!

Have used the tool at the house. Strong well made product as are all the Crank Bros tools that I own. Would recommend.

Great tool, very solid, had to use the chain tool this past week and it worked well. I love the solid feel of this thing even though it is pretty heavy.

I have found this tool invaluable while bikepacking and mountain biking. And I find myself reaching for it while at home as the tools I need are all right there in a small, compact, lightweight format.

This tool really comes in handy when you're on the road. It really is a great tool to have when you go on long rides. Saved my bacon on more than one occasion. It has all the necessary tools you need to make quick repairs. I especially like the chain tool.
