The Best Bike Tool Kits for Handy (And Not-So-Handy) Bikers

Pro Ratchet Bike Multi-Tool by Bontrager

Higher-end bikes usually come with carbon fiber handlebars, stems and seat posts, which is terrific, but has one minor downside. Carbon tubes don’t stand up well to excessive clamping force, and the margin of error for correctly tightening things like handlebars and seat posts isn’t very forgiving. The manufacturer’s torque spec will be just tight enough to make them stay put without crushing and destroying these top-shelf, featherlight (and expensive) components. To be sure you’re hitting the mark, you need a torque wrench. Bontrager’s Pro Ratchet Multitool is adjustable from 2-8 Nm and includes 6 hex tools, 3 torx bits and a #2 Phillips head. The waxed canvas carrying case is a nice touch for this premium multitool.
