Sports reviews of Topeak Hexus 16-Function Bicycle Tool
Customer Review: cheap plastic housing, I returned it.
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I was shocked to find what otherwise looked like a good tool to have the main housing be made of cheap plastic. And I do mean cheap, it wasn't even the 'durable' plastic that most tire irons are made of. (why didn't they use that type if they were going to use plastic at all?)
What were they thinking? The two 'black pieces' on either side are supposed to be removable tire tools. They seemed flimsy themselves, and I would never trust them with a tire. Removing them, I found the under frame (the silver part) to be even cheaper plastic! Yes, the wrenches are metal, but there is no strength in the under-frame to support them (the part you have to torque on to apply force to the wrench head itself or to the chain tool). I would not trust this not to break under the best of conditions-- I SURELY would not trust it when I actually needed it--out on the road somewhere. I immediately returned this after purchase for a different manufacturer, and would never have purchased if I could have found this out prior to buying it.
Even with the flimsy tire irons in place for support, it's garbage. Good wrenches on a lousy foundation is a lousy tool. I hate to sound so negative but it's true.
I was extremely dissapointed that topeak would market something like this. I was sorry I purchased it. I am glad I returned it immediately.
