SKS Multitools Tom & Mia: Practical tools for travelling - made in Germany

Tom & Mia - two new multitools from the Sauerland region

SKS Germany has been known as a pump specialist for decades. The legendary racing compressor is still considered an icon today, and many current floorstanding and mini pumps also bear the "Made in Germany" label.

In the tool segment, on the other hand, SKS has so far been rather narrowly positioned - which makes the step of launching the new multitools all the more exciting. Tom and Mia, two compact companions for everyday use. Both models are made in Sauerland and are intended to expand this tool category.

The flat tom

The Tom model is aimed at riders who are looking for a robust, versatile tool for touring and commuting. It is available in the different sizes 8, 11, 14 (old model) and 22 at prices between 19.99 and 35.99 euros with the number of tools staggered accordingly >> available here.

The SKS Tom 8 combines the most important hexagon socket and Torx sizes with screwdrivers, and the 22 is even equipped with a chain riveter. The tools are made of hardened steel, while the aluminium plates on the sides ensure stability and a pleasant feel. Despite the variety of functions, the Tom remains compact enough to easily disappear into a jersey pocket or saddle bag.

The slim Mia

The Mia tool takes a different approach: it is smaller, lighter and deliberately minimalist. Here too, there is an 8 and a 12 version, the latter with a chain riveter. The cost is between 29.99 and 44.99 euros. The tool concentrates on the essential bits for quick adjustments on the go - ideal for road bikes, gravel or bikepacking when every gram counts.

The slim design makes handling easier and the precise workmanship shows that SKS takes its quality standards seriously in the tool sector too. Both tools benefit from being manufactured in Germany, which enables short distances, high material control and clean processing.

This is our impression

With Tom and Mia, SKS is expanding its portfolio in a meaningful way. The tools are not a revolution, but they show that SKS can also play a part in the tool segment - functional, solid and with the typical "Made in Germany" claim.

The Mia models appeal to sporty riders who prioritise low weight and efficiency. The Tom series offers more functions for touring riders. This concept works because each target group can choose the right tool for them.
