Put the bolt in the other direction so it tightens up instead of loosening

Been there. Loctite solved it for me.

I started running a velcro strap around mine finally.

If the loctite or the strap won’t hold it together you can always throw it in the trash and get tools without unnecessary moving parts.

Any suggestions? That one covers all my shitty bikes, and fits in my water-bottley-thing. With all my other stuff. That cask goes with me everywhere.

Multiple pieces that could maybe get lost, but it has just about everything and, aside from losing something, is pretty impossible to break.

I’m sure you’ve got room up your asshole for a folding tool too.

I like the ratchet rocket and similar variants, I just get the long bits to go with and use a small voile strap to hold it with my dynaplug and anything else I need together and throw that in an empty pocket on my bike or in a bag.

Another cool thing about the bits is you can replace a damaged or lost bit at any hardware store and also customize your kit to make sure you have every fastener on your bike covered which is useful when you have odd things like a t20 or security bolts.

Using nice tools makes it easier to have a nice time doing work rather than flipping a huge ass multi tool around 8 times to get 2 turns on a bolt.
