Looking for a Multitool to bring to my daily rides and my longer bikepacking tours. I am consdering upgrading to tubeless wheels in the next couple of months, therefore I'm including the M20 and V23.
Anybody have any experiences with all these tools, especially the M20 and the V23?
The M19 is highly regarded and Outdoorgearlabs rates the Lezyne V22 as the best multitool (https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/biking/bike-multi-tool/lezyne-super-v-22), though I haven't seen a bunch of reviews online about that one. Seems like the hex wrenches dull easily according to some reviews that I've found. I'm wondering if that's also the case for the V23.

I’ve got a topeak alien which has everything I could possibly need (except crank/cassette off the top of my head) and probably an additional 10+ things I don’t need. But there are a few bolts I can’t get to with it due to the short length of the allen. The brake caliper bolts are recessed and some need a standard length allen to get at. Some of the hand controls have to be loosened and moved out of the way in order to get the tool in to them. Again long tools usually can get in there. Every tool has its drawbacks. I might be inclined to get a separate chain breaker, micro ratchet and only the (75-100mm) long allens and star bits I need.
