- I take a look at the Wolftooth 8 bit Pack Pliers, tell you my initial impressions, and compare it to a few other multi tools that I have been using over the past decade.
Wolftooth Description from their page linked below:
"The 8-Bit Pack Pliers is a lightweight multi-tool with 17 functions. Eight attachments nest inside the handles of master link pliers using magnets and a clever storage system. These attachments then fit into an 8mm ball detent swivel head that has a 4mm opening for hex bits, which adds functionality to the already-versatile master link pliers. This new multi-tool was created to solve almost any minor repair on MTB and road rides alike.
*17 functions: spoke wrench; valve core wrench; flat head #3.5 and Phillips #2 screwdriver bits; 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8mm hex; and T10, T25 Torx-compatible bits; install and remove master links; clear tire sealant clogs from valve stem; tighten valve stem lock nut
*Magnets keep all bits in place
*Ball detent swivel head helps access hard-to-reach places
*Handle doubles as breaker bar for extra torque when head is bent
*8mm hex bit tested to over 40 Nm torque"

That amount of torque applied is reassuring.
Yes, it really does feel very sturdy, they say it's good for 40NM which is a lot.
bringing a separate 8mm L key would be a 'better option for breaking the pedals'. Most multitools won't generate the required torque anyway..
Of course a normal L-key would be better and is what I installed the pedal with. The point was to see the durability of the tool and to see if it could. Say you were flying with a bike and didn't want to carry the separate key, this wolftooth tool could be what you use to install and take off your pedals. The pedals just wouldnt be install quite as tight as you would with a normal L-key, but they would still be tight enough.
Do you carry on that tool? Does TSA ever flag it? I would like to try but don't want it confiscated. Ive had screwdrivers taken away....
Also, great review and comments on chain break tool. When i first bought m17 tool 15+ years ago, seemed i used chain break tool regularly. I cant remember using the chain tool with my 10, 11 or 12 speed drivetrains in years. I just placed the order for 7 bit kit that cones in 3 pieces. That tire lever+rim tool is what sold me. I found the tire lever on the trail and ended up using it later. Nicest lever i ever used. Now im spending 139 for whole wt kit!!!
I don't bring the tool in my carry on so it has not been an issue. When I ship the bike I place the tool in the bike bag and it has been a non-issue.
If you did try to bring it in your carry on they would (and should) confiscate the tool.
