The 10 Best Bike Tool Kits

Every so often, every bike will need a repair or maintenance.

But it doesn’t have to be expensive. If you have your bike tool kit, you don’t need to visit a bike mechanic who will probably overcharge you most of the time.

Think of a bike tool kit as a long-term investment that will save you money and trouble in case your bike breaks down. 

We’ve done our homework to review the 10 best bike tool kits on the market. Let’s jump right in.

Feedback Sports Ride Prep Tool Kit

This is the type of bike tool kit you can fit in your saddlebag and take it along with you for the ride.

It includes 12 bicycle-specific tools that are elastically banded in a water-resistant foldable zip-up case.

Even though the tools appear smaller than usual, they’re very useful, especially when fixing mountain bikes and gravel bikes.

Most importantly, it includes a three-way set of hex keys, brake pad spreaders, tire levers, screwdriver, chain pin press, pedal wrench, and axle nut wrench; tools that you would need for most repair jobs.

Unior Pro Home Set

Unior, the company behind this Pro kit, has been making steel tools for more than a century; so you can bet most of these tools are made out of steel for longevity.

Besides that, this home set tool kit is ideal for modern bikes and you won’t see outdated tools like cone wrenches, headset spanners and crank pullers like you would on other kits.

Instead, it’s fitted with 18 modern pieces that can perform the function of 30 tools. How cool is that?

Of course, the fact that one or two items are missing in action doesn’t sit well with some folks.

From the variant sized hex wrenches (1.5 mm to 8 mm), Torx wrenches (T7 to T30), spoke wrenches (13G to 15G) to the open wrenches (8/10 mm), it has everything you would expect in a top-quality tool kit.

On the other side, it’s fitted with screwdrivers, Allen wrenches, open wrenches, 2 tire levers, a universal chain tool, and a glueless patch kit.

Did I mention, the saddlebag is waterproof and it can hold up to 600 ml?

For a tool kit that is cheaper than average, this is not the suitable gear for professional repair and maintenance.

In case you’re wondering about the durability, the tools are made out of high-quality steels. Moreover, the Topeak Alien multi-tool is packaged in a nylon bag that can be closed with a clip.

It’s compatible with single speed chains and most 5 to 12 speed chains, including SRAM 12-speed Eagle chain.

Judging by its small size and ultra-lightweight, it won’t be a problem to fit it in your saddlebag.

Actually, it’s so good, it will click almost like a camera when it achieves the desired torque. Otherwise, if you put the bolts too tight, you could deform the bike.

Not to forget, the Allen keys have an extensive range of 3mm to 10mm with a torque value of T20, T25, and T30.

Similar to most standard L-shaped Allen keys, the 9 pieces available in different sizes; 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 mm. Not to mention, the material is stainless steel.

How do you operate it?

First, you have to attach the scrubber to your bike chain and close the compartment.

Next, add the solution from the top and manually rotate the bike chain so that it passes through the cleaning system.

While the bike chain passes through the cleaning system, the dirt will be removed by spinning brushes, sponges, and a magnet. The best part? The cleaning system can work on almost any bicycle and the solution won’t harm any material on your bike.

The only thing that you need to watch out for is the plastic which is fragile if you accidentally step on it.

The height can be adjusted from 39 inches to 59 inches and the head can rotate 360 degrees.

Better yet, it comes with a magnetic tool plate that makes it possible to hold your tools without them falling to the ground. Not to mention, the legs can easily be folded for safe storage.

It’s almost perfect, except that it doesn’t support bikes that weigh over 55 pounds. Then again, how many bikes have you come across that weigh over 25 kilograms?

Since the clamp can be rotated 360 degrees, you can position your bike at any angle. Additionally, it can hold any standard bike tube with a thickness of 23 mm to 76 mm. 

Here is the interesting part; you can upgrade the stand with an accessory collar to make it compatible with a tool tray or paper towel holder.

The handle is 14 inches which makes it easier to turn it over when repairing a pedal. Also, the handle material is Cro-Moly steel to improve its durability.

However, we think it’s a little bit expensive for a wrench but since it can last for decades, that’s no reason to complain.
