The 'Axle Handle Multi-[Tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fulcrum-mini-titanium-pocket-tool)' works by requiring users to go about threading a receiver nut onto the axle, with the axle then turned and secured into the dropouts. When multi-tool functionality is called for, users can simply slip the multitool right out, allowing them access to a 5-mm hex end, varied hex tools, a flat head #3 and a [Phillips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cylindercased-cycling-multitool) #2 screwdriver among other essential tools. Incredibly, this versatile cycling multi-tool weighs in at only 28 grams, making it decidedly diminutive and compact, not to mention a value purchase at only $29.95.
