EnCase System Hex Bit Wrench Multi-Tool | bike-multifunction-tools

Have to say this is the best bicycle tool I have ever had. I didn't buy the set as I already have a chain break tool that also is a bar-end tool. I have a Surly Moloko Bar so I actually have 4 bar ends to fill so right now I have this, the Granite Stash chain tool and a Mirrycle Mirror. I got the Wolf Tooth storage sleeves so in the empty one I might fit in a few tire patches. I have used this to install everything on my bike since I got it and it works great. I have one more end to fill and if Wolf Tooth makes anything else I might just buy it.One other thing is this uses the same bits as those cheap Chinese mini screw drivers to fix electronics. I got a set for $9.99 that comes with 80 bits that fit this tool so when I go on a tour I'll take whatever bits I might need for my bike or my gear that I might need that this tool might lack. So far I don't see anything missing but it is nice to have 80 bits to pick from for this tool if I need them.Wow this review was rambily. . .

This multitool set has 90% of the tools needed to fix anything on your bike... minus tire levers, & wrenches to remove a bottom bracket, cassette, or pedals. But removing a BB, cassette, & pedals are not something you'd be doing in the field anyway.Love how these store in the handlebars. I thrash the trails pretty hard, & I crash at times. Maybe a bunch of times. They don't even come close to getting loose.I used these tools more times than I thought I would, mostly helping other riders.They give you a lot of leverage, & the 90° swivel lets you access hard to reach places.It's pricey, but worth the money.Grab the Wolftooth quick link pliers to go with these, & you're set.

I like how light this multitool is and the fact how convenient it is to store in the bar ends. The only issue I have is that when using it, it is easy to knock any of the other attachments off, and they are small and easy to loose if you do. It does have o-rings around it to help hold the attachments in place, but I have already lost one of those as well. I used a piece of heat shrink tube to make a sleeve that covers the attachments and holed them in place while using the tool. The cost is a little steep for a multitool. You are paying a premium for the uniqueness and ability to store it in the bar ends.

So number one if you’re expecting the bits to be silver colored don’t buy it because mine are black which I was hoping they were going to be black but still other than that I had no issues other than it’s a little bit finicky to get them out of the handle bars but I think that will get better as I use them over time. Also saw people had some issues with the bit system being to finicky or having them fall out but I don’t see how they had a issue with that unless they’re just that dumb because the magnets hold everything together pretty well plus the rubber bands secure everything very well and the tool even has grooves for the rubber bands to sit in which is really nice because it prevents them from moving around and causing all sorts of issues. This tool is very well thought out. If you’re planning to use this tool for what it was designed to do I highly suggest getting it. Wolf tooth did a really good job with this tool you can definitely tell that they did their research.

This is a well made tool but it's very difficult to remove from the bar ends, difficult to read the bit size and I'm concerned that the bits will be lost over time as there was no O-rings to hold the tools in place. This is a wait and see product to really know how well this will work and hold up.

Very very tight fit for my handlebars. So much so that I had to go beyond thier cutting instructions and grind the rubber down so it would fit. VERY IMPORTANT! You will need the Wolf Tooth "Encase" system to install this in your handlebars and it's not included.Don't let that discourage you though. It's an excellent product and super handy. I recommend getting the one for the other side as well. Includes a chain tool and tire patch kit.Solid construction and invisible to thrives. What an excellent idea this is!

Simply put, Wolftooth components/tools are well made. (And U.S. made). I do not ride tubeless tires and was hoping to replace the rubberized 'sticky-stick' plug patches on the one side of the kit, used for tubeless repair, with maybe a couple bills of various denominations as a secret storage location for cash on the road - or to use the dollar bill inside the tire trick, to repair a gash in a tire, to keep the tube tucked in, in an emergency. Unfortunately it wouldn't fit a bill in that space. [I guess you could wrap the tools with bills before putting them in the rubberized case(s) and that might work for this idea]. I had to cut the tip off some of the rubber case of the chain breaker side to get it to fit all the way into the drop bars of my road bike. Also, due to a tight fit, I had to pull out all of the bar tape from inside the bar ends and bunch it up between the end of the bar and the end cap of the EnCase tools, but it all dressed up nicely and held well through the first ride. Very compact and unique storage location to keep multi-tool equivalent device handy.
