I bought my M17 back in 2009. It�s spent the past 15 years in my saddle bag and still looks like new. Crank Brothers haven�t changed the design (nor have they changed the MSRP) over the years because they didn�t need to - it�s a very well made and functional tool with no gimmicks. When I have needed to use it, the tools just work. Overall, an excellent multi-tool for everyone other than weight weenies, and an excellent value.
Has come in handy for general maintenance; stores nicely in saddle bag. Quality tool!
11 miles from the trail head my chain broke. Pulled out my palm sized CB 17, fixed the chain. Don't leave pavement without it.
I have an older one of these I use on my mountain bike. Has everything I need in a pinch. Bought another one for the road bike that I use on long tours. Nice to have a solid set of tools and a chain break just in case. My old one started to come loose over time but just tightened up the hex bolts on the side and good as new.
Great tool, very solid, had to use the chain tool this past week and it worked well. I love the solid feel of this thing even though it is pretty heavy.
You can get a good grip on the tool. which makes it easy and comfortable to use. This also makes it difficult to use it tight spaces. To wide to allow me to make adjustments to my 29er disc brake piston through the spokes. great all around tool, will have years of use.
This tool really comes in handy when you're on the road. It really is a great tool to have when you go on long rides. Saved my bacon on more than one occasion. It has all the necessary tools you need to make quick repairs. I especially like the chain tool.
Have used the tool at the house. Strong well made product as are all the Crank Bros tools that I own. Would recommend.
I have found this tool invaluable while bikepacking and mountain biking. And I find myself reaching for it while at home as the tools I need are all right there in a small, compact, lightweight format.
It's a bit heavy But what do you expect for a tool that is made of metal )
I dont get on the bike without it. Have cranked on this tool for a couple of years now, and none of the edges are stripping.
Easy to carry in bike bag and has several tools that make the repairs on the road easy.
These are well built, high quality tools. Great addition to my seat bag. Highly recommended.
This is the third one of these I've purchased-I have one in the seat bag of each of my bikes. I have used these for a number of on the road adjustments and have even used it to repair a chain. It's sturdy and is easy to use and covers almost every adjustment you might need to make when riding.
A nice compact tool kit for just about anything that can go wrong on the road.
Easy to carry, easy to use and best part easy on the wallet!!!
Luckily I have not needed it yet on the road. I tried it out in the shop and everything worked great.
You could tune shopping carts and rebuild a gocart with this thing!
A little heavy but this has basically all you need for minor adjustments and roadside saves. Cool to have a chain breaker with you but I've never used one in the field. Pick one up.
Best of the compact tools out there.
