My backpack comes in at 16 lbs with 2.5L of water, tools, snacks and emergency stuff for the trail.
On long rides I couldn't take it anymore, so the search began to purge weight.
I managed to cut out 4 pounds, 2.5 came from tools.
I discovered the Leatherman Crunch, replacing several tools in my kit.
Highlights: Regular pliers, adjustable pliers (vice-grip), cutters, 3 flat screwdrivers, #1 Phillips, serrated knife, and a 1/4 hex bit drive (you can drive hex and torx bits, along with sockets with the right adapter)
The motion pro titanium combination wrenches were also on my list but always too expensive for a couple of grams.
FYI Fortnine has the 10mm at 50% right now.
"Honey, what do you want for Christmas this year?" A Leatherman Crunch!
Braaaaaaap!
