Last week, a customer asked me about the price of a bike multi tool. When he got the quotation, he ordered a sample for further evaluation. After a week waiting, he got the bike multi tool sample and sends an email to me.

In the email, he claimed that the quality is not as same as he thought. He needs bike multi tool more durable. He said that the hardness of the product is not strong enough, he hopes to use it for 5 years. 5 years? If the bike multi tool is expected to be used for 10 years, we need to make some change.

We know that the average bicycle tool is used for three years. So, many bike tool factory offer quality guarantee is 6 month. Although the usage frequency will influence the lifespan, the material used in the product itself is very important. The main material of bike tool is carbon steel. It can be from 40 to 45. To keep the hardness, we usually use 41# carbon steel to make bike multi tool. For more durable need, we can recommend manganese steel material or others. That doesn’t means that the more durable is more suitable. If there is special requirement such as HRA or HRC, we can adjust the material. 

We hope everyone can get favorite bike tool and master the method of repairing the bicycle.
