Wolf Tooth Components introduces the 8-Bit Pack Pliers

The Wolf Tooth Components 8-Bit Pack Pliers is a lightweight multi-tool with 17 functions. Eight attachments nest inside the handles of master link pliers using magnets and a clever storage system. These attachments then fit into an 8mm ball detent swivel head with a 4mm opening for hex bits, which adds functionality to the already-versatile master link pliers.

It comes in black color with 8 accent colors and retails for $69.95.

Thoughts => This is a nice addition to their tool suite. I tested their Master Link Combo Pliers, and I found it to be a compact and well-made aluminum 6 in 1 multi-tool that was amazingly functional for dealing with minor issues out in the field. The new 8-Bit Pack Pliers takes those same characteristics and adds more usefulness, plus the slightly longer lever arm will make it easier to deal with chain links.

This new multi-tool was created to solve almost any minor repair on MTB and road rides alike.

This new multi-tool was machined with 7075-T6 aluminum here in their Minnesota machine shop. They tested the swivel head on the pliers’ end to handle 40 Nm of torque for uncooperative bolts and stubborn pedals. It’s strong, lightweight, durable, and ready for your next ride.
