The hex bit attachments do look pretty poo though. Does it actually recommend to use an elastic band or is that just what Bob has found to work?

So what type of sheath did it come with? A belt sheath? Or just a pouch of some sort?

So it doesn't actually come with a sheath then?

Probably something like this:(Image removed from quote.)
This brings back memories of the 'ol bike shop. We used to sell cool tools, but I've never had the opportunity to use one.
In the mid to late 1990s, I rode my mountain bike frequently. It was usually on 15 to 35 mile trips on rail-trail type paths. I recently started riding my bike again and discovered the Cool Tool among the gear. It brought back fond memories. I Googled Cool Tool to see if it was still sold and if it had been improved. I found this thread.The original Cool Tool did not come with a sheath. The pieces were held together with a rubber band. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't a Gerber product (nor sold by Gerber). Later, there was a Ti version. The Ti version pictured is missing a hex key (it sticks through the notch below the thumbwheel).
Welcome to the forums! What did you think of the Cool Tool in use?
Hey welcome Zucchini and thanks for the info! So was this missing hex key a smaller size than the two already in the picture? Was it just the rubber band that sort of held it in place?
