As you might have guessed, when bike touring I liked to be both prepared *and* a light weight as possible. Pedal a loaded touring bike up a series of long, steep hills, and every ounce seems to count. So I spent a while back in the day developing tool kits that would (just about) do the job whilst shaving ounces.
I was going through my tool collection today and found these babies that I had almost forgotten about. Some are made by Topeak and some were made by me: cutting down Allen Wrenches to the absolute minimum size that can be grasped in a small Crescent Wrench. Not a perfect solution, but certainly lighter than the original wrenches.
If you go through my older posts here you'll see the contents of the Altoids Tin Toolkit, and also the Fishing Tackle Box Toolkit.
