random wrench v2 vs animal kotulak vs shadow multi tool

ill take a look and give you my opinion in a few minutes

DK- No. does not include 17mm socket. thats like the norm these days
Shadow- looks legit. just like animal
Animal- Looks just like shadow. but you said the chain breaker is problematic?

i would say go for the shadow.

thanks

Dont forget about eclat http://www.eclatbmx.com/products/tools-and-extras/e-tool/

i posted that before i refreshed the page i meant thanks for looking. im not trying to start an argument but the dk has a 17mm deep socket

My opinion is not a chance. it's $40 more than the others

Edit: and it doesnt include a 5mm socket which is common for brakes and seat clamp bolts.

i saw the eclat earlier. im willing to bet for 90 the tools are good but im not going to spend 90 on a socket a few wrenches and some allens. if i had more money i would think about it

Animal 1st choice, Shadow 2nd choice.

Didn't notice the price differences

I would go with the dk random wrench

if i can just adjust my brake tension ill be fine. thats why i like the shadow it has the 10mm wrench. its not a big deal if my brakes arent tight i used to be brakeless so im fine with no brakes

i like the price of the dk, it doesnt have as much tho but the price makes up for it somewhat

right now im leaning to the shadow. does anyone know if the chain breaker is for half links or is it for regular chains too

My friend has a bike shop and when riding carries around the Shadow one, it's pretty useful.
I just use a normal socket wrench and 2 allen keys.

Yeah, I also have a tools box with a bunch of stuff like chainbreakers, spoke thinghy, tire remover (never used those thing lol) and a bunch of other shit .
I just keep in a drawer the socket and the two allens for quick adjustments and all that stuff.
If you have spare cash get one, they're pretty nice.

ya im actually buying this with a jar of change ive been saving since the summer. i wouldnt buy one anytime soon otherwise. i have tools to do anything to my bike at my house (except a wedge to tighten a chain i need to make one) the other thing i dont have is a spoke wrench but i cant true a wheel anyways i should learn but i would need a stand or something

I have the Random Wrench V2 and I love it. The only thing I don't like about it is it's absence of a 19mm Socket.

I have the DK wrench, it has 17mm, please research more next time. You missed a big one

I have the dk wrench it has 17mm.......really though they are all tools they do the same shit there is not one better then the other

I have the Shadow and It's fucking perfect. You can legitimately build a whole bike with the tool alone (as long as you have 17mm front bolts)
The hammer is a good extra tool for anything.
the chainbreaker works perfectly, i've used it on about 3 different chains (2 reg. 1 half) and it gave me no problems.
I would definitely say go for the shadow dude.

Edit: by the way you have like 5 choices for allen key sizes so that's pretty huge.

ya i think im going with the shadow or the dk

Animal hands down. I loved mine and so did the cunt who stole it

Animal for sure!

Have the animal, i dont really like it that much its just a hassle to use, but the chainbreaker works fine, idk what people are talking about
