Topeak The Mini 9Function Bicycle Tool
I’ve Bought 5 of These, and They’re All Still Running Strong,
A friend recommended I pick up this awesome little tool when I bought my first bike. It lived in my bike bag and was the first bike tool I ever owned (I now am a bike mechanic, so I have lots of tools). When my roommate bought her first bike, I loaned mine to her so she could adjust her seat. She wouldn’t give it back. So I bought another one and it too was “gifted” to another riding companion. When I went to the store to buy my third one, another friend came with me and bought one for himself (I refused to give him mine, though he did try). I recently bought my mother a bike and guess what was the first thing in her saddlebag? You guessed it, the Topeak Mini 9. This last one I purchased for myself, to go in the saddle bag of my 2nd bike, mainly because I got tired of forgetting to switch the bag over.

|Some skilled design here,
I like the selection of tools too – although I’m pretty sure I have no use for that star shapped tool – what the heck is that for? I would have prefered a flat-blade screwdriver instead of the star tool. If anyone knows where I’m likely to find a use for the star tool on a road bike please let me know.
It comes in a small case which is awesome (even has a belt loop). Whenever I pulled the Parks tool out of my saddlebag it would grab everything it could on the way out and I would end up spilling the contents of the saddlebag all over the road. The Topeak case solves that problem nicely.
This is a very basic tool. You will still need a chain tool and a spoke wrench at a minimum unless you really like long walks home.
Interestingly I’m starting to see the Topeak symbol all over my bike lately. I think I’m starting to like that company. They made my toolset, pump, and saddlebag. LOL – hadn’t noticed before.
