Wow. Thinking back on it a Topeak Alien was actually my first ever multitool.
It doesn't need to be- its a well known fact that ninjas don't ride bicycles!Def

I have had an Alien for probably 15 years now, and it is still going strong. Invaluable on the bike. I never really considered carrying it off the bike, but it's not a bad idea. Mine resides with my bike gear though, so I don't forget it. If you want one without the chain breaker, just invest in a couple Sachs quicklinks and you won't have to break a chain again while out and about. I use a full sized Park breaker at home.While bike touring, I carry the Alien and a Charge. Too bad no one makes a multi with a 4th hand tool on it...Greg
Thanks for the welcome. other than just getting a new tool (which is always a good thing).Greg
Thanks for the welcome.I have four bikes, a go fast road bike, a full suspension MTB, and two touring bikes. My riding has evolved over the years, from off road, to road, and now to touring. My old Alien has worked on them all. I have been thinking of getting the Alien II or MacGuyver, but I haven't seen the need yet, other than just getting a new tool (which is always a good thing).Greg
And a few members who will back up your desire for a new tool! Def
