6-Bit Hex Bit Wrench

The new Wolf Tooth 6-Bit Hex Wrench is a slim, strong multi-tool with 11 functions for common bike repairs and everyday needs. Six hex bits are stored inside the handles that fit into the end of a ball detent swivel head for use. The 11 functions include: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8mm hex; flat head #3.5 and Phillips #2 screwdrivers; and T10 and T25 Torx-compatible bits. All bits are ED-coated and corrosion-resistant. It is small enough to fit into a riding tool wrap or pocket and has an optional keyring attachment to fit on any keychain for use away from the bike.

The keyring attachment is an option for those who like to have a multi-tool on or off the bike for everyday-carry needs. The 6-Bit Hex Bit Wrench is locked shut while the keyring is attached. This prevents it from opening while you’re on the go. Then when you need to use the multi-tool, press the end of the keyring attachment to detach it from your keyring. When you’re done using it, close the handles and click it back onto the keyring attachment to lock it shut once again. The handles also have a magnetic closure to keep it closed when the keyring attachment is not connected.

  • All bits are ED-coated and corrosion-resistant
  • Magnets keep all bits in place and secure
  • Ball detent swivel head tested to over 40Nm of torque
  • Same bits as 8-Bit System and EnCase System multi-tools
  • Optional ball detent keychain locks multi-tool closed

Axle Handle Multi-Tool

The Wolf Tooth Axle Handle Multi-Tool is a minimalist, lightweight option to cover 10 essential tool functions. It is stored at the end of a Wolf Tooth rear axle during rides as a multi-tool that is easy to access for quick adjustments and trailside fixes.

An O-ring on the inside of the axle’s threaded end locks the Axle Handle Multi-Tool in place so it is secure while riding. On one side of the handle is a 5mm hex end stepped to 6mm closer to the handle that fits into the end of an axle. The other side of the handle has a 4mm opening for double-sided hex bits that nest on the inside of the handle via magnet. It was designed for Wolf Tooth axles, though is compatible on other axles that have a threaded end.

Four hex bits are included with the Axle Handle Multi-Tool. Two bits can then be selected to be stored in the back of the tool based on the functions that you use the most. Each bit has two functions. So if you find yourself frequently reaching for the 4mm hex on a multi-tool in your frame bag, the Axle Handle Multi-Tool makes it quickly available and always within reach, without needing to unpack your tool wrap on the trail.

  • Four hex bit options are included, allowing the cyclist to select functions most frequently used: 2, 2.5, 3, and 4mm hex; flat head #3.5 and Phillips #2 screwdrivers; and T10 and T25 Torx-compatible
  • Designed for Wolf Tooth rear axles with a female threaded head-end but also compatible with axles from Trek and other manufacturers that have a removable handle retained with an o-ring”
  • Available in eight colors to match other Wolf Tooth anodized components and accessories
  • Designed, engineered, and machined at Wolf Tooth in Minnesota with 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum
