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.

If you get the chance too, it's worth it  , as unlike most bicycle tool's, it's a nice size. |

The titanium version looks to have been a better built version @ least that is my opinion about it  the name is kinda gimicky but I guess that's what it is suppose to be since it a bike tool  don't want to confuse the masses I do like it though as I am partial to adjustable cresent type tool  |

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).

Hey welcome Zucchini and thanks for the info! 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.

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? |

Thanks. I really like the Cool Tool for the purpose that it was designed for. It is great for on the trail adjustments and repairs of a mountain bike. I carried it in the tool bag under the bike seat. I included a few other items like a tire patch kit, spare inner tube, tire levers, and pump. |

It is smaller with each end a different size. The rubber band holds it in place. Wow, thanks for the info! Bummer though, I'll probably never be able to find an original hex key like that for mine.  |
