The small flat AFA multi-tool has all the core tool bits you’ll regularly need, plus a chain breaker, and it all snaps securely by itself into a tidy mount on your bike so you’ll never have to dig for a tool to make quick trailside adjustments.
French cycling accessory company Zéfal has a new compact AFA 8 Plus multi-tool with a neat little mini glove box mount that tucks in under pretty much any bottle cage. I always appreciate a good multi-tool and love any accessory that takes advantage of unused space on the bike. This new Zefal AFA 8 Plus setup looks to be a little bit of both.
But it’s the slim storage that caught my attention. The multi-tool snaps securely into a reinforced plastic bracket that bolts either above or below a standard bottle cage, so it’s easy access to get to your tools. No more digging into a saddle bag to fish out a tool. No need to carry a tool in your jersey pocket. And no more forgetting a tool at home.The Zefal AFA 8 Plus tool itself is an aluminum chain tool with machined steel bits. A flat screwdriver, 2mm, 2.5mm & 3mm hexes fold in first at about 2.5cm long, then over top of those are a T25, 4mm, 5mm & 6mm bits at a bit more than 5cm long. The tool itself is just under 8cm long x 5cm wide, with the 8-12sp compatible chain breaker.
The mount/glove box is made of fiber-reinforced polypropylene, and is 23.5cm long x 5.6cm wide. It adds a few millimeters under your cage , then tapers to a max 18mm thick where it is sandwiched between the top of your bottle and the frame – or run it under your cage where it will extend at most 15.5cm beyond the lower cage bolt.Sold as a set of tool + carrier, the Zefal AFA 8 Plus tool retails for 45€ and has a claimed combined weight of 154g.
