Crankbrothers Multi-tools consistently rank among the best multi-tools on the market, and they are now more capable than ever, with the addition of tubeless tire repair tools to the M13 and M20 M-tools. Both multi-tools have an integrated tire plug tool and a removable storage box filled with tire plugs. The new Crankbrothers M-Tools seem a great solution for the vast majority of trail-side fixes. Here we look at the differences between the new M13 and M20 multitools.
As part of my packless set-up for racing enduro, I currently have my tire plug tool attached to the downtube of my frame, held on by electrical tape. While it’s not pretty, it does work. And, it means I don’t have to wear it about my person. I didn’t fancy impaling any of my vital organs…

M20 & M13 Crankbrothers Multitools
The M13 and M20 multi-tools have an integrated tire plug tool, safely folded away so you don’t need to concern yourself with where to carry it. It stays with the rest of your tools – in your hip pack, riding pack, or if you ride packless, on a frame strap.

The tire plugs are neatly stored away in the removable plastic case – in here, they’ll stay dry and importantly, sticky. Each tool comes with five tubeless tire repair plugs, aka anchovies, aka slugs.
