I expect to see a Berm Peak line of tools come out within the next year or less.

[@megatziyad9275]

Yes me too

[@PinesPioneerOfficial]

I would love to have a berm peak Multi tool

[@erikevangelista2946]

Totally! I'm in on this

[@squiddysquidster802]

100% agree with this

[@scrappyhustler7467]

I'd pay for a berm peak multi tool.

[@sandcountyfrank]

Love it. The Crank Bros abomination also doubles as a spare pedal!

[@alldecentnamestaken]

This just gave me some interesting ideas...

[@ethanwise8919]

seth why dont you jest make you own multi tool from the ground up and sell them 9:05

[@1975normal]

YOU SAID IT! Pedals that hold your tools etc!!!

[@1975normal]

You had an excellent 💡 idea - pedal/toolkit

[@05Kilo]

HE NEEDS TO ADD A PLACE TO MOUNT IT LIKE A PEDAL!!!!!!

[@dongakolny]

Seth having a 3D printer is the ultimate game changer. Hope to see more like this.

[@pancake-straussey]

would be awsome if Steh would provide the 3D models for us to oder those in metal 😉 maybe with some Berm Peak Express Logos.

[@frantic299]

So, we need to see a Leatherman adaptation with bike tools. I alway wind up throwing a pair of pliers in my bag just in case on the really really long rides. I needed them more than once. A leatherman style bike tool would be awesome.

[@330_Crew]

The Leatherman Squirt PS4 is very small and a great addition to the ride kit EDC.

[@BermPeakExpress]

I too am a Leatherman collector/fanboy. On my Skeletool you can technically carry 4 bits of your choosing and so I do hex 4mm and 6mm, along with Phillips and flat so it still functions as a normal tool. I’d love to see them make something bike specific.

[@poetac15]

Knipex XS cobra are my ride pliers

[@better.better]

Good point! Pliars are missing here! Important for cable adjustments, bending broken spokes, grasping & clipping zip-tie ends (and squishing ticks before they can tuck-in). Personally, I always carry a Leatherman because in addition to the pliers, I can cut patches from an inner tube, trim branches on the trail, clear smaller dead falls with the saw, perform impromptu dental surgery on unsuspecting ATVers, carve a splint, repair a leather glove.

[@jimihenrik11]

I always have a Leatherman PS4 in my seatbag.

[@BermPeakExpress]

So Lezyne emailed us to say that they actually have a tool with tubeless repair and inflation on it! I don't know if it's new or what, but I had never seen that ride.lezyne.com/products/rap-ii-tool?variant=42417835442421

[@rosserobertolli]

Quick tip: print the long parts on their side, it will make them a lot more resistant to impact/vibration. Every print line is a potential shear line

[@MrTheomossop]

Less dimensional accuracy/cylindricity though. For a non-functional prototype it was the right choice I think

[@shugn4]

Seth, this is awesome. Loving the content lately. This video is great on a lot of levels. Selfishly, I'm shopping for something like the EDC and also my wife is learning to ride. She's been asking about stuff that can go wrong on a ride and this video does a great job of summarizing all the stuff she wants to brush up on. Killing it, dude. Thanks for doing what you do. The cigarette joke had me rolling.

[@adamflett94]

[@kadenk.3760]

Companies should sell individual tools so people can easily customize their own multi tool like this

[@PizzaCologne3]

or they could do a collaborations of custom multi kit,

[@TheBrokenMountainBiker]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a weird "thing" for multitools! Lol. I buy ones I don't even need, I just see one that looks really neat and compact and go "ooooohhhhhh..look" and buy it! Lol. For the most part I use one of the little compact Topeak mini emergency toolbox kits that literally has everything I'd ever need.

[@JCintheBCC]

Seth in intro: "It just really important to have the right tools when you need them." Seth at 1:18: *Driving a nail into a tire with the back of a power drill*

[@alexnelson9505]

That's a big heavy tool. I like the one up for space and weight. Don't forget to wrap gorilla tape around the pump, add in a couple of zip ties in the storage and $20.

[@alpd7638]

3D print a clip on CO2 holder. Similar to how the crankbrothers box clips on to the unhacked tool...but to fit the hacked one and hold a CO2 (obviously)

[@cjdaking]

This is great - Seth's ability to act on all the random ideas we churn over in our heads while riding or staring out into space is his gift to the world!

[@Durwood71]

I think Wolftooth's 8-Bit kits have you beat. They have everything your custom tools have plus quick link pliers, a reamer for clearing out the valve stem, tire levers, and a razor blade, all in a package that is small enough to fit easily in your pocket. Although at $140, they are admittedly a bit on the expensive side.

[@257796]

I was today years old when I saw a mountain bike tire plug for the first time. I've used regular tire plugs before. Those are awesome they are like "fun size" candy bars. Scaled down but just as cool

[@adamboyle4723]

Soooo much fun watching this. Put me on the waiting list for the Berm Peak Version of Crank Bros tool!

[@Bruhman_15]

I remember seeing your mongoose video in my recommended and I watch it and then your videos where all over my recommended and that’s what made me fall in love with your channel keep up the great work seth

[@noahlane61]

Hey Seth, I’m watching this from a bed in the berm peak ranger station!!! We rode black mountain trail in Pisgah today, and it kicked my ass!! I love the place, the rc cars were super fun, the crawler course worked really well, and the bike dungeon is incredible!!!!

[@cadecarp11]

My favorite tool to keep on me, on and off the trail, Park Tool MT-1

[@fifthcircle1]

take your design and partner with Trail1. You know we'll all buy it, even if we've already got all these same tools/pumps already. 😉

[@carloswright]

I have to say thank you for being you. I have been subscribed for quite a while now, and I did so, because of you. Your personality is the greatest thing about your videos. Keep being true to yourself and we will all anxiously await every new video. I felt the need to pause and say this at 5:15.

[@supwphilosophy8375]

This is pretty cool, and your passion for bikes really comes through. I often go out without the appropriate tools (but fortunately I haven’t really needed more than my Vibrelli V19 and a pump), and just watching this video makes me feel more prepared!

[@james.edgeee]

this has to be the best berm peak express video ever

[@yourmother9359]

I am, in my 20+ years of downhill biking, only ever had use of tools for: realigning the steering bar, tools for broken chain, patching the tire and removing front wheel, for to fit bike in my car. In my backpack: A bottle of water, bottle of sugary drink, spare t-shirt, spare socks, a towel, a sandwich, a bandage and few adhesive bandages, deodorant and lighter, batteries for charging my phone/mp3 player(20 year+ long riding experience, do not forget :P) and obviously a knife. Nothing else. I remember bursting into tears when my buddies would proudly show to each other sets of spare tires, multitools, wrenches, stands...I was amazed none of them brought a butler with them... Making a tool for completely servicing your bike is great thing on paper- but in reality it just ads unnecessary weight.

[@gride750r]

I've wanted to do this forever.. even sent some designs to Topeak a few years back. Happy you're here to do cool and expensive experiments for us!

[@GFClocked]

This is so cool, I kept thinking about all these tools not being perfect and how to get it right. You hit it right on the head there.

[@aumtb]

Crankbrothers one is the one for me, you could add a strong magnet to one of the sides so that the CO2 can magnet onto the side then you have everything

[@furkandaylan2281]

Nice video keep the good work

[@bluebe4m319]

You haven’t even finished watching the video it’s only out for 2 minutes

Truly the best bike channel! Full of creativity, opinions and jokes. Keep up the fantastic videos!

[@itsstocky1955]

As a huge fan of multi tools of all kinds this video is fascinating and just plain awesome!

[@WallyMay235]

Something I have always wanted to do is replace all the bolts on my bike with one or two driver sizes. Then 3d print a little holder for a couple Allen keys, flat repair kit and a small chain tool.

[@nolanott7707]

Nice job Seth, great creativity! Can’t wait to see some more trail building videos soon!

[@NOISlights]

Awesome man now I have a good base start I have been looking for a minimal tool for a while now and this is the best vid yet.

[@sirbarryvee-eight6485]

My favourite is my Topeak Alien, found on the side of the trail about 12 years ago. In fact, I have 5 multi-tools that I found on the side of the trail - never paid for one! I've actually found more, I'd see someone at the trail head and ask if they lost a multi tool. One guy said yes, so threw him the one I just found. He said "no no, I lost mine a couple of weeks ago at a different trail" and threw it back. I threw it back and said "well the trail took and the trail provided". I think the best tool would be one that reminds you to zip up your pack.

[@danielvelasquez7708]

Must say I got to give Seth some credit being creative in making the best multi-tool, still ticked off from a Berm Peak about a Trek Roscoe have not sold an old bike of mine for almost a year, and it's disrespectful that I look up to Seth this is how he treats his former subscribers unbelievable.

[@Leviathandk]

This was more clever than i anticipated! Nice job!

[@tonyfnd]

As soon as I saw that Seth bought a 3-D printer I was hoping for things like this. The possibilities are endless. If he gets a HAAS CNC/Lathe to start machining his own parts.. it’s all over. Berm Peak Parts will take over the market. Lol. Great content buddy.

[@onthea.t.wtheriordanbrothe5673]

The spare valve core idea is great!

[@idiot6334]

YOUR MY FAV KZbinR 💪💪💪

[@nevillepretorius8948]

Awesome video, thamx Seth! I have a Icetoolz multi-tool that actually saved my ass just today. Cable came loose from the rear derailer. Was really happy I had that multi-tool today

[@Pesmog]

One piece of advice a bike mechanic gave me about multitools is that when you buy a new one, always ASAP do a full service on your bike using only the multitool. That will be when you discover which bits on your bike the multitool won't fix and so what extra tools you need to take with you on a long ride. Having done this, I now also carry a small Leatherman style multitool because it has pliers, a cable cutter and a better blade. I also carry a short 12mm Allen/Hex key (For the crank) Quick link pliers and a small dual purpose pump that will inflate tyres and shocks, plus the usual, plugs, tubes, Valves, Air cartridges, tie wraps, tape, spare chain links, spare important bolts, spare derailleur hanger etc. On a multiday ride I even carry spare spokes in the handlebar tube.

[@michaelmann3636]

It’s not have we learned anything, it’s has the multi tool manufacturers learned anything. Great job as usual 👍

[@malikridesmtb]

Creativity at another level !!!!! Amazing job!!!!

[@amitterdalkar5181]

This is really amazing Seth... Keep it on

[@ChadOHara98]

Super cool. I might have to try out that crankbrothers design.

[@alexcunliffe3432]

Best video for a while 10/10 seth! You totally read my mind about why multi-tools can be so infuriating!

[@blade1994111able]

A friend and previous colleague of mine who was the engineer who designed the Silverback Sesta, Sido and Superspeed, designed a fully customizable tool where you could order the tools that you want on your multi tool, or buy a complete kit that has everything and you assemble the tool to what ever preference you have.

[@trajanfpv]

I have the OneUp pump setup and am very happy, but your hacks are cool.

[@dannyflores6396]

Fantastic work man. That was so informative and I learned so much. I would have to pick the crank brothers hack you build. Big yea but I need nothing else but a co2. Great job 👏🏻

[@neal569]

For the crank brothers tool, print a co2 grabber on the other end of the bacon strip holder so it can carry your co2 when folded.

[@bethziegler8250]

Crank Brothers!!! Seth, I love your videos and this one was one of the best ❤

[@RubenJFernandes]

awesome, you just gave me some ideas. have some multi tools around gonna try something. thanks

[@ladev91]

This guy has some of the best videos on KZbin

[@Flux_Flow]

Genius in Disguise ! Great job. The motto that I live by. If I can't afford to buy it or it doesn't exist then I will make it.

[@did4h2k]

the bottlecage-thingy is really nice. dont think its bulky at all, its a bottlecage with 2cm extra at the back. also probably it makes for a good ride when the "heavy" tool is way down near the bb

[@traviswright456]

Seth you should come out with your own version of a multi tool. I would definitely buy one. You know what a multi tool should have. Thanks for the tips and tricks, and the awesome content.

[@pillo1000]

Great Sunday everyone! It’s always greater with a new Berm Peak video! ❤

[@superyamagucci]

I honestly like the Crank Bros one. Give me somewhere non-invasive to keep it on my minimalist bike, along with some C02, and I'll buy one from you right now. Seat bags won't work for me, same as you. There's only 2 places the gas bottle will fit during a ride. One of them won't let me breathe, the other is definitely out. I don't have a bottle cage fitted, so there's that room to play with, but it has to look ok. Modern even. I believe in you 👍

[@Evo_Spec]

I knew he would enjoy the 3d printer and sure enough after the first video of him getting it, he's already modding multi-tools with it. Can't wait to see what else you do with the 3d printer Seth.

[@andrewh7345]

Well...this is how I learned my Topeak tool already has a valve core wrench, so thank you for that.

[@mcdbones]

Such great ideas. How fun to have the means to play around with all this stuff. When he starts printing his own parts…yes!!! 😂…I love it 😻

U can never have enough multi tools seth

[@ChrisTrunek]

ive been doing this for a while. only the tools needed for that particular bike. really streamlines things. I also run the keys on a steel carabiner. wrap the loose tools in a neoprene chainstay segment. I also carry tube in a small old sock. keeps it from the sun, and you have a rag

[@ranzieltayno5851]

Wish I could have that lezyme hack multitool. That is amazing. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@raphaelwolff8205]

Seth well done mate that was very interesting and i like the way you think.

[@wikinger7286]

i do have a multitool with all the wrenches under my bottlecage, a chailntool with quicklinks in my stem, a tubless repairkitt in my handlebars and an inflatour with co2 in a 3D printet mount in the headtube

[@FeMelch]

LOVED this episode, Seth. I’m always trying to streamline my everyday carry items. Now if only you could do this Frankenstein-ing for a Quadlock phone case to allow for magnetized phone mounting/charging AND space for a pop socket (for people with little hands). 😂

[@timmeh1234]

I've had an m20 for 20 years now. Love for it to get modernised

[@bob1323]

1:35 a pro tip is to cut down the things a little bit and light it on fire till it melts, it will seal way better and last longer

[@jayjavi00]

This was dope bud. I'll definitely buy your line of multitools.

[@yoramchen54]

Awesome vid and idea!

[@trenthoffman9146]

I would buy one. Especially that Lezyne hack job

[@bernardbaltezar3911]

Shoot. Now we’re gonna have to wait for the Berm Peak multi tool to come out. Stoked.

[@Smethjt05]

Seth! I would absolutely buy this!!

[@willburn1741]

Excellent content!

[@marktechsci]

I’ve got a natural CF SB130 with blue accents. I put a ton or research into this and went with: OneUp EDC Lite in the stem, think my plugs are in the little holder at the bottom. In Blue. OneUp EDC 100cc from Yeti with Blue accents. This includes a CO2 inflator. Stores my CO2 inside. Jank Industries center mount for pump Dynaplug in Yeti blue from Yeti stored in pump handle with some paper towels. BOOM done!

[@hankscorpio1953]

A leatherman, a pump and a set of allen keys (hox renches) is all you need ;)

[@user-mq2ex6qq8g]

I love the oneup pump

[@62swampboy62]

That was extremely cool.

[@cshorey]

I love seeing functional 3D printing be applied. Both a great use or designing and prototyping in this episode. Did you do you see what designs were out these to reuse or just make your own? Something to consider is to share any models you design back to the 3D printing community. From there others may remix the design or extend them further.

[@302hardtailr6]

Dam you Seth I udder as I head out to the garage to make my own Franken tool! Keep up the great stuff!

[@phantomface6783]

Honestly Seth you should make these for real and put them into production for the whole world, ingenious.

[@downgradefan]

I hacked "my own" multitool a few years ago, but I went the other route: instead of adding new stuff I removed all the bits I don't need. I'm pretty happy with the result :)

[@bartbbb1046]

Good job in the construction and good use of your ideas! I just find those big multitools difficult to keep in hand, and work with. I personally prefer to have separate tools - without having to carry my tool box - where the handling is easier

[@mattlewandowski73]

I already have the Crank Brothers multi tool on my amazon shopping list. Now I have to get better at using Fusion 360 so I can make the extra parts for my "Berm Peak Conversion Kit". Oh and you could print a case for the multi tool with a CO2 cartridge holder built in, so I think it could become a one stop do it all tool. I think I would want to get my hands on that disk straightener though... I always used to ride with a multi tool and a couple other tools plus a spare tube and a small first aid kit in a largish seat bag. To me they are the perfect storage for a small emergency kit, but I have been looking at printing a bottle cage that will also hold a multi tool and an air pump for a minimalist kit. Your Crank Brothers "Ultimate MultiTool" looks perfect for that kit.

[@TheoreticalCyclist]

Fun video (as always)! I also love multitools. But I hate tools with the bent ends (like crankbrothers tools). I prefer tools with the forged/machined endings(like lezyne or topeak tools). It is so much cleaner design! My favourute multitool is ropeak ninja 16+

[@ToTeon]

i hope this video gets a far reach so that it can educate as many people as possible, great video Seth! -> 1 Mil views soon ;)

Most not only helpful, but he’s also nice and usually funny

[@joetaylor486]

Oooh, you have set my head buzzing with this ha ha.

[@reubenbryant]

Done this myself. Couldn’t find a single tool that covered everything my bike (ok bikes 😅) needed. So started with the closest, took it apart and added everything else that was needed. Oh and removed all the bits that was on the original that my bikes (or me in the case of the bottle opener) didn’t need.

[@lawlerskeetz]

I bought one of the crankbrothers m20s recently, I love everything about it except the chain breaker. It's so hard to use compared to one of the topeak ones.

This is genius. I've always found multitools...not quite right exactly for these reasons. It never dawned on me to take one apart and put the stuff I want on it.

I love multi tools as well! I see a Berm Peak signature series tool coming out very soon!😂

[@thefrontrangermtb5308]

You're nuts.....I love it!

[@supaschwamal]

My favourite multi tool was the exact opposite of your behemoths. A tiny one by BBB which I bought at a sports store clearance for half-price. Very compact and clever and if you consider the essentials still quite complete. But if you search for it on the BBB website they sadly seem to not make it anymore. However, I lost it on the trail due to me forgetting to zip up my saddle bag...
