Comments about Topeak Hexus ll Multi-Tool:
Bought this one to replace another multitool I wasn't happy with any more. I have used this tool while riding on the single track a few times to make adjustments to my brakes and the bolts which hold my seat onto the seat post. I have also used it at home. It works great, feels durable, and hasn't broke during normal use. I'm not concerned about the weight it adds to my pack and besides it's minimal at best. I think it's a good tool to have in my pack for emergencies. It's very well constructed and shouldn't fall apart like my older cheaper one.
The only con I can think of is that there's a hexagon cap that normaly is attached to one of the allan wrenches which you can remove in order to get a smaller size wrench. It's fairly easy to drop or misplace this cap part when you remove it, especially if outdoors. It'd be nice if they simply added another allan wrench to the tool rather then resorting to the use of this 'cap'. There is a star shaped cap you can use and it has a special holder slot in the tool to store it. I'd prefer if they'd done that with this cap, too.
Not a major flaw, though.
I also like the fact it has tire levers built into it. A little trick getting off the tool the first time, but no issue now.
This won't replace all your tools in the garage, but that's not the point. This is a tool I feel will last a long time and has the necessary tools to resolve most trail side repairs/adjustments I may encounter.

I have had this tool since I bought my first real mountain bike, so over 12 years ago. I've taken apart, rebuilt, and repaired multiple bikes using no more than this tool. I dare say I've even abused it, using the flathead to chisel ice, leaving it out in the rain, dirt and mud. I haven't seen any of the problems other reviewers have like broken tire levers or a stripped out chaintools, but the levers are some sort of polomer or plastic. Its simply great, I never ride without it.

Comments about Topeak Hexus ll Multi-Tool:
I recently tried to use this tool to rotate the tires on my road bike and ended up breaking both tire levers. I am not sure what they are made of but they are extremely fragile and would have left me stranded if I was on a ride. The rest of the tool appears to be of good quality though.

I would never use this in lieu of full size tools I keep in the garage, but this is great to carry in case of emergencies.
You can turn every bolt or screw on your ride, the chain breaker and tire irons also work well and I've had to use both on the side of the road.
You will not regret having this with you when you need it. And you will eventually need it.

I tested the chain tool at home. The hex piece in the tire lever stripped out the first time I used the chain tool to set a pin. If I'd been on the road I'd still be sitting there. Trading it in for replacement.

I've got a phobia about broken chains, and thus have this thing about always carrying a chain tool. This is the lightest thing out there, with tire levers to boot!
I haven't actually used it for anything more than adjusting my seat, but it having it along makes me feel real secure.

Comments about Topeak Hexus ll Multi-Tool:
This is a great multitool - it's got all the parts you need for most bike repair either on the road/trail or even in the garage. I've bought a bunch of them and it's the best I've had in many years.
I just wish one of these tool guys would make a locking screwdriver bit though. None of the bike tools do a good job with this and they always want to fold up on you. At least with this one, you can adjust the tension.
