Daysaver Incredible multitool system hangs out in bars – or pockets

In the past few years, Swiss cycling tool startup Daysaver has brought us a clever nesting-bit hex wrench and a multifunctional tire lever. Well, the company is back on our radar again, this time with its Incredible multitool system.

Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, the Incredible setup consists of three components: the Multitool, the Tubeless Tool and the Handlebar Mount. These can be purchased separately, or all in one package.

The 60-gram (2.1-oz) stainless steel Multitool features two magnetic bit drivers, which accept an included assortment of modular double-ended bits. One of the drivers points straight down from one end of the tool’s cylindrical body, while the other flips out to sit at a 90-degree angle relative to the other end – the latter driver is spring-loaded, and locks in place while deployed.

For low-torque tasks, users can utilize the straight-down driver in a screwdriver-like fashion. The flip-out driver comes in when more torque is required, as it allows the Multitool’s main body to be used as a lever. Each driver is used to store one of the bits, while a couple of other bits are stored in two magnetic flip-out holders in the middle of the tool.

This arrangement makes for a total of four bits, each one with two heads, for a total of eight bit tools of different formats and sizes. Buyers choose from a total of 12 bit tools, which are sold as separate heads. When initially setting up the tool, users create the double-ended bits by manually joining couples of the heads together via included locking pins.

As its name implies, the 40-g (1.4-oz) aluminum-bodied Tubeless Tool is used for plugging holes in tubeless mountain bike tires. It incorporates storage space for multiple “bacon strip”-style tire plugs, a plug tool for inserting those strips into the hole in the tire, plus a retractable blade for cutting off the protruding ends of the strips. It also features a chain-break tool and a magnetic holder for two user-supplied chain links.

Both the Multitool and the Tubeless Tool can just be carried in a jersey or hydration pack pocket. The 8-g (0.3-oz) aluminum Handlebar Mount, however, allows them to be stored inside either end of the handlebars. Adaptable to bars with inner diameters ranging from 17 to 21 mm, it features a quick-release lever that allows the connected tool to be quickly pulled out and reinserted as needed.

Assuming everything goes according to plan, a pledge of 126 Swiss francs (about US$139) will get you a full package consisting of both tools and two Handlebar Mounts. The Multitool alone goes for 59 francs ($65), the Tubeless Tool goes for 39 francs ($43) and the Handlebar Mounts go for 19 francs each ($21).
