FAQs

What tools are included?

The Blackburn Tradesman Multi-Tool includes hex keys (2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8mm), Torx keys (T25 and T30), a flathead screwdriver, a P/V core tool, a chain breaker (compatible with 12-speed chains or less), a quick link tool, and spare link storage.

Is the chain breaker compatible with all chains?

No, the chain breaker is compatible with 12-speed chains and fewer.

How do I use the quick link tool?

The quick link tool is used to remove and install chain quick links. It typically involves squeezing the link to release or attach the chain.

What is the disc pad spreader used for?

The disc pad spreader is used to push the brake pistons back into the caliper, which prevents brake rub and ensures proper brake function.

How do I store the spare chain link?

The multi-tool has integrated storage to hold a spare chain link, so you're prepared for unexpected chain issues.

What kind of maintenance does the tool need?

Wipe the tool clean after use and apply light lubricant to moving parts. Store in a dry place to prevent rust.

What if the hex key doesn't fit?

Make sure you're using the correct size hex key for the bolt. Refer to the size markings on the tool and your bike's components.

Troubleshooting

Chain won't break with the chain breaker.

Ensure the chain breaker is correctly aligned with the chain pin. Make sure you are using the correct pin size for your chain type and that the chain is compatible (12-speed or fewer).

Hex key strips the bolt head.

Use the correct size hex key. Avoid applying excessive force. If the bolt is damaged, consider replacing it.

Disc brake rub persists after using the pad spreader.

Check if the wheel is correctly aligned in the frame. If the issue continues, the brake caliper might need further adjustment, or the rotor could be bent. Consult a professional.
