Looking around for reviews as I'd like to upgrade my biking toolkit, and came across this review of a mix of multitools - some bike specific, some not, such as Gerber Diesel and Vic Swiss Tool : http://singletrackworld.com/reviews/multitool-mini-grouptest/

Nearly choked when I saw the prices they quoted!!

I paid nothing like that for mine.
I don't carry a conventional multitool far too many wasted tools.
But recently bought the Brooks multitool (cheap off ebay) arrived still carded clearly stating "Made in Taiwan"

Needless to say I still rely on my old bumbag containing proper tools in it. Gets the jobs done without the phaffing

Yeah, I can't imagine paying that much for a multitool.

I've been honing the toolkit over the last few years - did post a pic a while back in another thread. I like to keep it in a small saddle bag as I prefer not to carry tools on me while riding if I can help it. I've now got some more tools for it, so will try to get some photos taken.
