Learning a ton from your vids… if you had to pick one tool only- for short weekend bike packing and daily rides - stored in a top tube bag, which one would you pick ? The alien or the PT30? Sorry for such a noob question, I wanna pick one and have that pretty be my mainstay
Thank you for your kind comments and not a noob question. For weekend bike packing I personally would use the Alien. The extra weight and size wouldn't worry me (whilst bike packing isn't a race I tend to look for any training positives that I can 😀) and the useability (larger tools, not having to remove the chaintool, having spanners) in poor conditions can save a lot of frustration. The caveat I would add though is that I would be carrying a separate Dynaplug tubeless repair kit. Do enjoy your bike packing and drop a comment somewhere to let me know how your first trip goes.
Hi there - I do have an Alien 2 review. The Alien 2 is a bigger tool and has some spanners on it. More suited to bike packing and bigger days on the trails.
My son is getting me one for father day on Sunday 😎😎😎
Cool 😂
Thorough review. Looks like a great, well thought through bit of kit. Might need to get myself one.
Thank you for this and thank you for taking the time to comment - it's much appreciated.
Great review.
I decided to buy this multi-tool because of your review.
Very happy with my purchase and fits nicely into my saddle bag.
Thanks!
I'm pleased you like it and thank you for taking the time to comment, it's much appreciated.

Thanks for the great review. Do you have a comparison to the Topeak Alien 2 or 3?
