Product news: German manufacturer SKS presents five new multi-tools. They are named MIA and TOM – short for Mini Assistant and Tour Mechanic – hinting at the functionality of these compact tools. Lightweight and minimalist or versatile and comprehensive – these are the new SKS multi-tools!
MIA – Mini Assistant for quick laps with light luggage
The MIA tools weigh barely more than a few sheets of paper and are aimed at sporty cyclists who want to travel light and efficiently. The MIA8 offers seven hex sizes from 2 to 8 mm, including a 2,5 mm bit, as well as a Torx T25. This makes the tool weigh a mere 58 g and only 5,6 cm long. It retails for €29,99 (RRP). The MIA12 offers four more functions: In addition to a Torx T10, it also includes a flathead screwdriver, a 15g spoke wrench, and a chain tool. At 90 g, the SKS multitool remains very handy. It costs €44,99 (RRP).

TOM – Tour Mechanic in versatile use
The three new multitools in the TOM series are designed for touring cyclists. The TOM8, with its longer body, offers more leverage and comes with five common Allen bits, a T25, and both Phillips and flathead screwdrivers. All this is available for just under €20. The TOM11, priced at just under €25, offers a few more features: it includes two additional Allen bit sizes and a T10 Torx bit. For those who need it for anything, the TOM22, at €36, is the ultimate multitool: this SKS tool also comes equipped with a bottle opener, two valve wrenches, five spoke wrenches, a chain tool, and tubeless repair tools.
