German lightweight component makers Tune have just teamed up with precision German toolmaker Wiha to develop a unique bit driver designed to work in tight spaces and with their super light parts. Called the Bits of Tune TT10 it build on Wiha expertise in ergonomics to take the form of a super short, wide grip screwdriver with a set of self-stored interchangeable bits to both fit into tight spaces on the bike and be easily portable. Inside the compact 30€ driver are 2, 2.5, 3, 4 & 5mm allen bits, plus a #2 Phillips & a Torx T25. And of course you can always customize the 85g driver with bits you need for a specific setup.

At the same time, the fine folks at Argonaut have teamed up with the toolmakers of Abbey to see what could be better than the classic 3-way wrench…
So a 4-Way is Argonaut’s better solution than the 3-way or classic Y-wrench. The new tool produced by premium American toolmaker Abbey Bike Tools pairs together the four tools most commonly needed in the modern bike workshop only one easy-to-wield wrench: 4, 5 & 6mm allen keys as well as a Torx t25. All four tools use hardened steel bits securely set into the black anodized aluminum tool body and sell for $35/€30. Argonaut wanted to make a tool that could cross over from jersey pocket to work bench while offering a bit more leverage than other compact multi-tools.
