I needed to cut down a few sets of carbon handlebars and thought it would be easier to do it at home with the right tools. I bought a Park tool Saw guide and this tungsten saw blade and went to work. The first bars were a try it and see, and to my surprise I had no issues. The other bars went fine after that. Just make sure you use tape to mask where you want to cut. I used red electrical tape because it;s easier to see when the bars are in the saw guide.

I've owned this set for about seven years and, other than a few small scratches from occasionally dropping the separate pieces, it still looks and performs like new. None of the bits have rounded off and the ratchet mechanism is still smooth, seems most multitools do not use tool quality steel but thankfully Silca does for this set. I don't really use it for setting torque since I bought a PRO torque wrench (another excellent investment) but for quick adjustment this is still my go-to.
For cycling repairs you canb either torque things or go with your gut - the problem is that going with your gut can end with cracked carbon or something that is too loose. The kit includes a bunch of bits, and a T handle ratchet that can be assembled in many ways. The torque tube is used to tighten things to a specific torque, and there is an alternate tube that is used for loosening. When you loosen you do not want to use the torque tube - if you go past its limits, you will ruin the torque tube. The package is compact so you can carry it, and there are plenty of bits to get the job done
