Chapman Manufacturing has been making high quality tools in Connecticut since 1936. I rounded off another cheap bike multitool and wanted to replace it with something better, lighter and made in the US.
What makes the Chapman hex bits unique is the small ball which holds the bit securely in the tools. Also note the knurled top, allowing you to turn the bits by hand.
The kit includes a ratchet, phillips, torx (T25) & allen (2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8). Plus a thumb wheel and screwdriver handle.
Personally I do not carry the screwdriver handle with me, but it is nice to have in the shop.
This kit is well worth the money. In fact I bought the larger shop kit as well it to have for all my ratcheting needs. Plus look how small it is, this fits just about anywhere.
I love this, there is no reason you shouldn’t have this in your bag. This is my go-to in my hip pack and part of my bikepacking kit.
