Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
The Alien II packs 26 functions into a cast-aluminum body with forged steel bits. The integrated chain tool, spoke wrenches, and full hex set mean you can handle virtually any trailside repair. A foldout design keeps tools accessible without the bulk of separate wrenches.
