Overview
What Makes the Multi 5 the Best Minimalist Pocket Tool?
The Crankbrothers Multi 5 Tool is the stripped-down solution for riders who want a capable multi-tool without adding any unnecessary weight or bulk to their kit. Built from high tensile steel with the same side grip design found across the Multi series, the Multi 5 handles the five most common trailside adjustments in a package that genuinely disappears in a jersey pocket. The midnight finish keeps it looking sharp while resisting the scratches that come with everyday use.
Five functions cover the hex key sizes you'll reach for most often, making it the right call for road riders, commuters, and XC racers who want a compact backup tool or a minimal primary option for shorter rides where big mechanical issues are unlikely. It won't replace the Multi 17 or Multi 20 on an all-day adventure, but for a quick spin or race day where every gram matters and a real shop is always nearby, the Multi 5 does exactly what it needs to do.

FAQ
Good questions
Get to know Crankbrothers

There's more to Crankbrothers than this one product. Our Crankbrothers page has the full Crankbrothers lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Crankbrothers page →What hex key sizes does the Multi 5 include?
The Multi 5 includes the five most commonly needed hex key sizes for bicycle adjustments, covering saddle height, stem bolts, and other quick trailside fixes.
Is the Multi 5 enough for a full day ride?
For shorter rides or race-day use where support is close by, yes. For long backcountry rides or bikepacking where anything can happen, consider the Multi 17 or Multi 20 for broader mechanical coverage.
How does the Multi 5 compare to the other Multi tools?
The Multi 5 is the most compact and lightweight option in the lineup, trading function count for packability. The Multi 13, 17, and 20 add Torx drivers, chain tools, and more coverage for riders who need a broader range of repairs covered.
