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".

The Podium

  • Extremely well designed
  • Very compact
  • Excellent choices of tool sizes
  • One year warranty
  • Room in pouch for more personal preference additions
  • Sturdy pouch material and zipper; pouch stays closed so tools don't fall out
  • Very useful addition to one's fanny pack.

 

The Pits

  • May be very difficult to get back if loaned to another rider!
