Troubleshooting
Tool is difficult to open or close
Ensure the tool is clean and free of debris. A small amount of lubricant on the pivot points may help. Check for any bent components.
Tire plug tool is not engaging correctly
Ensure the tire plug is inserted correctly into the tool's storage. Verify that the tire is properly deflated before attempting to insert the plug.
Chain tool appears misaligned
Carefully inspect the chain tool's alignment pin. Ensure it is straight and free from bends. Make sure the chain is positioned correctly before applying pressure.
Bolt heads are stripping
Always use the correct size tool for the bolt. Apply firm, steady pressure. If a bolt is seized, consider using a penetrating lubricant before attempting removal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Multi 20 requires no initial setup; all tools are immediately accessible once removed from the frame. Ensure any spare chain links or tire plugs are securely stored in their designated compartments.
Compatibility: This tool is compatible with 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12-speed chains. The included hex, Torx, and screwdriver bits cover most common bolt sizes found on bicycles.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and prevent corrosion, wipe the tool clean with a dry cloth after use, especially if exposed to moisture. Periodically check that all tools fold smoothly. A light application of lubricant (e.g., chain lube) to the pivot points can ensure smooth operation. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.
