A
total nutjob.
When
cycling long distances, or just popping over town to the office, its
important to travel light. Less weight, less effort – that's our
philosophy. But if your bike comes a cropper far from the nearest
cycle repair shop, and you're in dire need of a repair, what are you
to do? No worries there, because you've already bought, and carry
around, the multi-tool awesomeness that is The Nutter from Full
Windsor.
The
Nutter is an all-in-one bicycle tool that incorporates many repair
necessities (and one not so necessary) into one small package. The
kit itself comes in a leather fold-out carry pouch that features a
press stud close and velcro straps to both wind it up nice and tight,
and also safely secure it to your actual bike. Inside you'll find The
Nutter itself; resplendent in matte-finish steel, it's a handy
looking tool with bites taken out of it in strategic places.
Included
along with the multi-tool itself is an array of parts to help you
tackle any job you might need sorting while out on the road. First
up, the thin end of the Nutter is a nylon tyre lever to get your
rubber off your rims (tee hee). Then there's a 15mm box head spanner,
a very useful spoke key, a Philips head screwdriver bit, a flat head
screwdriver bit, a T25 torx bit, and 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8mm hex tool
bits. All of these can be extended from the body of the tool with the
magnetic tool bit extender, allowing you to get further in to the
nooks and crannies. And (and this is the one that is not so
necessary, but oh so welcome) The Nutter also features a bottle
opener.
All
the parts are robustly made and seem like they'll last a lifetime.
The Nutter itself could probably withstand a nuclear blast, as we
gave it a right going over, and even tried to bend it. It wouldn't
flex an inch, which is extremely reassuring when tackling those
studdon nuts that just refuse to give. The leather pouch is also very
well put together, with a choice of either brown or black leather
exterior, and interior pockets being made from recycled inner tubes.
Nice touch, that. It is also extremely handy to have the velcro
straps, allowing you to both wrap it to your frame or seat, and also
to stow something small like a compact pump or another tool along
with it.
This
is a superbly made and well thought-out tool that would benefit both
pro and beginner cyclists. Hats off here, boys.
