According to Abbey Bike Tools founder Jason Quade, their new Four Way is 33.333% better than a three way. You can’t argue with that, it’s just science. Or math. Or something…
First shown as an Argonaut tool just before Eurobike, Abbey has been hard at work on their version of the perfect small multi tool. Fitted with four different stainless bits, Jason says that they will be replaceable but not interchangeable. That means that they won’t stick in the bolt and pull out of the tool, but it also means you won’t be able to easily change them out for another bit. Apparently, you’ll have to heat the tool to the point that the adhesive melts to remove the bit and fit it with another.
Weighing in at 47g (on our blue scale that Jason jokingly took offense to), users will be able to choose their own four high quality bits to create their perfect four way. We’re told that the green will be slightly different than the shade above (or you can go for the black Argonaut version), and the estimated price will be $40. Look for these to start shipping November, 1.
