Description
The Topeak Alien X is a 34-function, 204 g folding tool with a two-piece body that also works as master link pliers. It carries T10 to T30 Torx tools, hex wrenches, a CrMo steel chain tool, spoke wrenches, a Presta valve core tool and a snap-out disc brake spacer, and comes in a nylon bag.
What it actually does
The Alien X starts with the bolts: T10, T15, T20 and T25 Torx wrenches plus a T30 socket, 1.5-L, 2-L, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm hex wrenches, a 10 hex socket and #2 Phillips sockets.
Split the two-piece body and it becomes master link pliers for Shimano Quick-Link and SRAM PowerLock chains. Add the CrMo steel chain tool and chain hook, 14G, 15G, Mavic M7 and Shimano 4.5 mm spoke wrenches, a tyre lever, a Presta valve core tool and a snap-out disc brake spacer that stops pad compression. A serrated knife/saw sits under its own protective cover.
Size, weight and carrying
All of that packs down to 7.8 x 4.5 x 4 cm and 204 g. Storage compartments in the body hold a chain pin and a master link, and the 1800 denier HD nylon bag keeps the lot together.
Build quality
Chrome vanadium steel tools in an engineering grade polymer body, with a smooth, machined profile that sits comfortably in the hand. Separating the two pieces gives you access to every tool and extends for leverage on tight bolts.
