Wolf Tooth introduces two new 8-Bit multi-tools
Multi-tool system can fix almost any trailside problem
Wolf Tooth has added two new tools to its 8-Bit multi-tool system, creating a family of tools that can combine to fix nearly any trailside problem. The 8-Bit Chainbreaker + UtilityKnife tool and the 8-Bit Tire Lever + Rim Dent Remover tool join the 8-Bit Pack Pliers that were released earlier this year.
The Chainbreaker + Utility Knife tool has three functions. One side of the tool features the chainbreaker while the other has a retractable utility blade. The chainbreaker is operated by an included 3mm hex L key, which doubles as a tire plug inserter. The handles on the multi-tool include storage space for tire plug inserts, a valve core, and a spare mini utility blade.
Tire Lever + Rim Dent Remover tool has two functions, that work exactly as the name suggests. One end of the tool has a tire lever for the other has a tool to remove dents from metal rims.
The new tools have the same silhouette as the 8-Bit pack pliers and nest neatly together using magnets. Together, the three tools offer 22 different functions, however, ease of use while trailside will determine how this system stacks up to the best MTB multi-tools.
The tools are machined at Wolf Tooth's facility in the USA using 7075-T6 aluminum. The tools are available today online and in shops. They can be bought individually or as a set.
