Review: PocketToolX MAKO Bike Tool

For the impatient: The PocketToolX MAKO is awesome, buy one.

Oh some of you would likesome more info?  The MAKO is a lightweight & compact minimalist bike tool that packs a ton of functionality in.

The MAKO features :

• 8/9/10mm wrenches
• 15/16mm wrenches
• 5/6mm Allens
• Phillips
• T25 Torx
• 14/15g spoke wrenches
• Made out of Ti in the US

The allen bits attach to neoprene holders in the middle of the MAKO. You can swap out the bits to ones needed on your ride.

The T25 torx fits in to adjust the pads on Avid  BB7s nicely.

The spoke wrenches are a life saver when you knock your wheel out of true way out on the trail.

The 8/9/10/15/16mm box wrenches are really handy and missing from most of today's mini tools.

The MAKO also features a bottle opener.

It is small at 3.5" x 1.2" and only 45 grams, see the pic below for scale next to a tire lever.

The Mako makes too much sense to not carry with you, either in your pocket or in your tool kit. And for a made in the USA Titanium tool it is a bargain.  I liked it so much I bought their other pocket tool; the PIRANHA.

MAKO returning to its native habitat.

You can buy it from Amazon or directly from PocketToolX. PocketToolX Says:

Made of Aerospace Titanium, the MAKO Bike Tool, named after one of the fastest shark species, will be the best bicycle tool that you have ever owned. Not only is it extremely light weight and compact but can be fully customized by you to best suit your bike. 

The MAKO titanium frame weighs only 19 grams and with the neoprene inserts holds four 1/4" driver bits of your choice.  Why lug a bike tool around that is weighted with tools and functions that don’t even fit your bike? Boasting a bottle opener for the occasional “road soda,” 5 metric box wrench sizes, and 2 spoke wrench sizes, this is the first bike tool that you wont even notice in your pocket!
