Setup and Operation

Unfolding the Tool

To access the individual tools, gently unfold the desired tool from the main body. The tools are designed to pivot smoothly. Ensure the tool is fully extended and stable before applying force.

Using Specific Tools

1. Allen Keys (2mm - 8mm): Select the appropriate size for hex bolts on your bicycle components (e.g., stem, seatpost, brake levers). Insert the key fully into the bolt head and turn clockwise to tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen.
2. Screwdrivers (Phillips/Flat Head): Use for adjusting derailleur limit screws, brake caliper screws, or other components requiring Phillips or flat head screwdrivers.
3. Box Wrenches (8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 15mm): The 15mm wrench is commonly used for axle nuts. The smaller sizes are for various nuts on the bicycle. Ensure the wrench fits snugly to avoid stripping the nut.
4. Chain Riveting Tool:
   1. Position the chain link with the pin to be removed or inserted into the tool's cradle.
   2. Align the tool's pin with the chain pin.
   3. Slowly turn the handle to push the chain pin through the link. For reassembly, align the new pin and push it back into place.

   Note: Chain repair requires careful alignment to prevent chain damage. Consult a bicycle mechanic if unsure.

5. Spoke Adjusters (3.2mm, 3.3mm, 3.5mm, Mavic): Select the correct size for your spoke nipples. Place the adjuster onto the nipple and turn to tighten or loosen spokes for wheel truing.
6. T25 Torx Wrench: Used for components that utilize Torx head bolts, such as some disc brake rotors or chainring bolts.
7. Tire Lever: Insert the curved end under the tire bead and pry it over the rim. Use a second lever if necessary to fully remove the tire.
8. Bottle Opener: For opening bottled beverages.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt, grease, and moisture. For stubborn grime, use a mild degreaser and then wipe dry.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light oil to the pivot points of the folding tools to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Storage: Store the tool in a dry environment, preferably in a protective pouch or tool bag, to prevent corrosion and damage.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the tool for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Discontinue use if the tool is damaged.

Troubleshooting

• Tool feels stiff or difficult to unfold: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot points and work the tools back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
• Rust spots appear: Clean the rust spots with a fine abrasive pad or steel wool, then apply a rust-inhibiting oil. Ensure the tool is stored in a dry place.
• Chain riveting tool pin bends: This usually indicates improper alignment with the chain pin or excessive force. Ensure the chain pin is perfectly centered before applying pressure.
