“Tools matter, they build things and are pivotal to the manufacturing and assembly of pretty much everything. Our professional tools help talented craftsmen elevate the bike mechanic trade. A trade that needs elevating. ” – Jason Quade, Abbey Bike Tools, Owner” – https://www.abbeybiketools.com
New Tools launched at Sea Otter 2023: T-Way
“The Abbey Bike Tools T way precision multi-tool is a great addition to the shop at home or work. This is built as a more robust multi use tool than our compact 4 way using the same durable stainless steel our Crombie heads use.”

Continued from Above:
“Everybody makes a multi-tool and there’s a little bit of everything on the market, so what’s different about ours? All of the little things that add up to one nice tool. A multi tool is only as good as it’s tool engagement so that’s where we started. If you’re familiar with other Abbey tools you’ve no doubt noticed that they fit tighter than anything else out there and this one is no different. We use precision stainless steel bits from Wera that fit like a glove into the bolts on your modern bike. They wont strip out fasteners like the cheap offshore made tools that are so common in the bike world.”
“The next part of the multi-tool is the chassis, for this we used our favorite US drawn stainless steel alloy and built a frame to hold the bits. Offering good leverage for all of the small fasteners on your bike, be it the precision adjustment of limit screws or assembling your bike for a fly away trip.”
“Available in 2 pre-configured options, a made to order version or a DIY option with the new bit set and magnets for the user to assemble the tool with swappable bits in whatever way they choose.”
