Crank Brothers M19 Multi-Tool — Specs & Analysis
Manufacturer specifications, compared against every other tools & repair in our database. We do not test gear in the field — we measure, verify, and compare.
The M19 packs 19 functions into a compact package, covering every hex, Torx, and spoke wrench you'd need on the road. The chain breaker is particularly well-designed and has saved many rides. Includes a built-in spoke wrench for three sizes.
Who Is the Crank Brothers M19 Multi-Tool Best For?

The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $23 per 100g — a reasonable middle ground between performance and value.

The Bottom Line
We haven't scored the Crank Brothers M19 Multi-Tool, and neither has anyone else we can cite. It's here for its verified specifications and dimensions, which is what the fit tools run on — a score is an editorial judgement, and we don't hand one out until someone has a basis for it. What this page can tell you is measured: 175g, $40, and how both sit against every other tools & repair product we track.
The price and weight above have not yet been checked against the manufacturer's own page. We are working through the catalogue and saying so as we go, rather than letting silence imply otherwise.
Specifications and dimensions come from the sources listed above. Where a page draws on first-hand riding, it says so.
How it compares
Against the 16 tools & repair products we hold published specs for.
At 175g the M19 Multi-Tool is lighter than 3 of 15 alternatives we track, which makes it among the heaviest we track. The category median is 108g.
At $40 it undercuts 5 of 15 of them, against a median of $35. That works out at $23 per 100g — below the $36 median for tools & repair products.
Weight and price come from published specifications. Cost per 100g is a blunt measure — it rewards light gear and says nothing about durability or whether the thing works — so treat it as one input, not a verdict.
