Life-Saver
Anyone?

I've been carrying and using my Motion-Pro "MP Tool"
kit for over three years now, and it has been a life-saver
on numerous occasions. It includes the most frequently
needed socket sizes, and its brilliant design allows
adequate torque to loosen and tighten nearly any nut
or bolt in its size range, all in an amazingly small
and light package. Within the 5x2.5" pouch, which
weighs just 12.5 oz., are the following tools: The
Main Body, which also incorporates a 10mm open-end
wrench, a 10mm socket wrench, a 12mm socket wrench,
a 7/16" open-end wrench, and even a bottle opener;
an Adapter Pipe which includes a 14mm socket and an
8mm socket; a socket driver for 1/4" and 3/8" drive
sockets; a 10mm socket, a 12mm socket; a flat-tip
screwdriver with two blade sizes; a Phillips screwdriver
with #2 and #3 tips; and a hex driver with 5mm and
6mm tips.

The
brilliant design of the Main Body and Adapter Pipe
allows the MP Tool to be used as a 3/8" drive socket
driver, a 1/4" drive socket driver,
a flat-tip screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and
a hex-but driver, all with enough "handle length"
to provide enough torque to loosen and tighten nearly
any application of the appropriate nut and bolt sizes
(8-14mm).
I've
added 1/4" drive 6mm and 8mm sockets, a 1/4" drive
3" extension, and a few smaller Allen wenches to my
kit, making it the most useful tool assortment I've
ever carried. For trail riders and off-road competitors
alike, I highly recommend the Motion-Pro "MP Tool".
