Comments about Topeak Toolbar:
This is an awesome super light tool that has just the essentials. When I was searching for a featherweight replacement to my existing toolkit (Ritchey CPR-5, Leatherman mini tool, a host of individual hex wrenches, tire irons), I realized I only ever needed the hex wrenches and tire irons. This Toolbar fits the bill perfectly with just these essentials and was the lightest one I could find in the stores. I've used it once on the road, and it worked just as expected. Grip was fine (it is *not* too small in my opinion), and actually felt better than other mini collapsible wrench sets. The individual bits is a great idea which saves considerable weight and bulk, and the included tire irons are thin and very stiff, perfect for slipping in between the rims and rubber.
Sure, you could get a heftier all-in-one tool that would include slotted wrenches, chain tool, etc. but do you really need those on your daily rides? I can see the benefit of having almost every imaginable tool with you if you are taking a longer tour, or even using it in the shop, but for daily rides, flat tires and minor adjustments here and there are all you would normally encounter. I've never had to fix a broken chain. Get this Toolbar, a CO2 kit, and an inner tube and you are good to go.

Comments about Topeak Toolbar:
This is the only tool I've been able to find that allows me to carry all the essential tools (Allen wrenches, screw driver, tire levers) without having to get a bigger seat bag. Now if someone would come out with a "Goldilocks" seat bag (not too small, not too big, just right), I'd be all set.

Comments about Topeak Toolbar:
This tool traveled with me from San Diego to St Augustine and was used widely by me and my fellow cyclists. I have a small hand, even for a woman, but found the tool provided great leverage for any task. I gave these to our tour guides at end of trip. My husband and I carry one on all our bicycles.

[...]tool is small, and easy to bring along, but too small to grip.

Comments about Topeak Toolbar:
I bring a spare inner tube and this kit and that's all I need for a day ride. The weight and size can't be beat. I don't like the small pieces though. This is not as fast or as simple as my topeak 10.

Comments about Topeak Toolbar:
Had one of these for several years and really liked it. My only beefs are that the pieces are easy to lose if you are not super careful (since they are so small). Also I never thought too much of the tire levers. not beefy enough for my mtb tires. Going to try the Crank Bros 10 this time around but would buy this again for sure.
