Brompton Tool Kit for 16 inch bikes
Our favourite Brompton and Brompton Electric accessory. Yes really!
The tool kit is just easy to put in the bike and forget about it until you need it (rather than finding you are stranded as you forgot to pack your tools for this ride!)
This long awaited tool kit from Brompton finally hit the streets in November 2012 - so it's 10 years old now!
The kit contains a collection of essential tools for your Brompton - we think it's a must have accessory!
It fits inside the bike frame for easy carrying and stays there so you won't forget it

A cleverly designed rubber coated magnet in the end of the tool kit tube stops it dropping out too easily when the bike is folded (we've had two in our bikes which have travelled worldwide - and so far they have stayed safe and secure)
Every Brompton should have one of these! (In our opinion) - along with a front carrier block
Since we said the above - all Bromptons (since now 2021 - excluding the A Line / B75) come with a a Brompton front carrier block as standard - maybe one day they will also come with a took kit? (until then you need to buy one)
Brompton make the world's most iconic folding bicycles. Originally designed in 1977, it has been continuously refined ever since. However, until recently, there has never been a dedicated tool kit for the bike
That's now changed: The Brompton tool kit fits discretely within the front frame tube such that, when the bike is in use, the toolkit is fully enclosed and safe within the frame
The tool kit includes all the tools necessary for most road-side repairs in a compact, lightweight, sleek looking pack
Perhaps the most innovative features of the kit are the space-saving double-ended driver bits and the unique tyre levers (unique as the incorporate spanners within the tyre lever).
These levers make removing tyres substantially easier - compared to using your hands alone and also incorporate 10 and 12mm spanners

Remember: tyre levers should be used as an aid when removing tyres - but not when fitting, for tyre installation you need technique, not brute force - to avoid damaging the tyre or inner tube - see below for how to fit a tyre with no lever and how to remove a tyre using the levers included in this tool kit
