Your multi tool does you proud, but for maintenance at home a good quality set of hex keys is a must. You can either go for a ‘T’ shaped handle, or a more traditional ‘L’ shape depending on your preference. Either way, you’ll be able to complete awkward jobs quicker and easier than if you were making do with a mini tool.

10 of the Best Multi Tools

We’re fans of the Park Tool PH1 P Handled Hex Wrench Set and the PB Swiss Tools Rainbow Hex Key set pictured above (it’s much easier to remember the colour you normally use for a job than the size of the hex key), but there are plenty more affordable options out there too.

You’ll also need a torx key set, because sticking to one system is too much for the cycling industry, obviously. Park Tool do a nice little one called the Park Tool Fold-Up Torx Wrench Set TWS2 that should get you by.
