Is the F10+ safe to use on carbon fiber parts?
Yes, but always use a torque wrench for final adjustments to carbon components to avoid over-tightening.

What sizes of hex keys are included?
The tool includes 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8mm hex wrenches.
Can I use the integrated bottle opener for other tasks?
The bottle opener is designed specifically for beverage caps and should not be used as a prying tool.
Troubleshooting
Tools feel loose when swinging out
Check the side pivot bolts; use a small hex key to slightly tighten them if the tool arms feel floppy.
Bits are difficult to pull out of the case
Clean the inside of the magnetic case with a brush or compressed air to remove debris buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Compatibility: Compatible with most standard bicycle hardware including stems, seatposts, and disc brake rotors (T-25).
