I'll admit it: when I opened the box, I was astonished at how small this multi-tool is. Hey, I asked for light, right? And then I picked it up, and I knew all was well. This tool is really solid and well-built. The chain breaker is excellent quality and easy to use, and the chain hook is really handy for trailside repairs. The tool body itself is comfortable in the hand, and burly; one of the first things I tried upon receiving this was to take the 5mm allen key and loosen/retighten my stem bolts, easily one of the tightest bolts on my mountain bike, and it worked just fine.
The neoprene pouch is a nice touch to keep it from eating through your Camelbak's pockets. I don't know what I am ever going to use an aluminum tire tool for, but I carry plastic tire tools on the trail anyway and those weigh practically nothing. I also don't know why every tool on the planet needs to have a freaking bottle opener, but at least there is a spoke holder included with it; the spoke wrenches are on the body of the chain breaker, which detaches from the tool itself for use. Honestly, every feature here has been meticulously thought out and executed.
I read a lot of reviews for multi-tools before choosing one, and this was literally the only one I found without any negative reviews. In fact, of the 17 reviewers before me, every single person gave it five stars. Well, let me go ahead and make it 18 -- this is a great value and a must-have for any mountain biker. It's not going to replace a tool chest of large, professional tools... but you're not carrying your tool chest on your bike, either.
Please note: while Topeak's site lists a Torx 10 and 25, as of 2012-11-27 this tool does not include a Torx 10. That's of no concern to me -- my brake calipers and adjuster wheels take a 25 -- but worth noting if your bike requires this tool.
