Topeak Alien II 26-Function Bicycle Tool Review
I read other reviews on this product before I bought it, and I am very pleased with the reviews I read, they were accurate, and I am very pleased with the tool. It is indeed the swiss army knife of bicycle tools. I don’t mind the weight to be honest,(which were some people’s complaint), I carry it in my backpack so the weight really not a factor. It is easy to use and the two haves concept is pretty cool. I’ve used it a couple of times and I am extremely pleased with its durability and performance. I don’t need any other tool after this one.

Great all-in-one tool with carrying case. Well thought-out design. Only thing missing was a mini flashlite. The tool itself can be manually adjusted so that accessingeach tool can be done with ease. The chain tool is pretty handy however, the chain pins themselves are an option and can be picked up at a bike shop. It is a very handy tool that contains everything you need to make bike adjustments.

The metal portions are well made and have worked well for any repairs that I have made. After carrying it around in one of the bags on my bike (inside of its protective case) for a couple months the locking tab that holds the two halves together snapped. A bit irritating, but it doesn’t effect the performance. The chain tool isn’t as finely machined as would be nice (a bit of wobbling makes it necessary to really watch the pin making sure it doesn’t bend when installing a chain, as the pin in the tool slips off center).

I just received the Topeak Alien II 26 Function Bicycle Tool and am very impressed with it. Well made tool, nearly everything you need to do emergency repairs and some shop repairs too, in a compact package. It has tools for both road and mountain bikes. For those who might think the bottle opener is superfluous, the flat-blade screw driver and chain pin tool are integrated into it. That tool is similar to those on Swiss Army knives that integrate a flat-blade screwdriver with the bottle opener. Having said that, I will offer the following cons regarding this tool. It’s a bit heavy, but that’s expected in a tool this well made and complete. As I only own a road bike without disk brakes, the T-25 Torx tool is not of use to me, but might help out a friend I ride with. I find that unless you align them carefully, the two halves of the tool might only be half-attached to each other upon reassembly. Lastly, I wish they had included the seat post mount with the tool, as opposed to needing to buy it separately. I would definitely recommend this tool to off-road riders and those road riders that don’t mind a few extra ounces to have a very complete tool.
