You can ride 1,000 uneventful miles only for the puncture fairy to strike with a vengeance. Nobody knows why, but punctures, like buses, tend to turn up in twos and threes. But however unwelcome an interruption your next puncture will be, you can ensure your roadside pit-stop runs smoothly by carrying the correct tools.
Promising to make puncture repair as painless as possible is the Tool Monster Air by Topeak. The multi-tool features a CO2 inflator head that fits both Presta and Schrader valves.
An articulated two-piece design allows improved leverage when using many of the tool’s 19 functions, which includes a 15mm open spanner for installation and removal of pedals. We have a Tool Monster together with a CO2 cartridge to give away. Simply leave us a message at the bottom of this page and we’ll pick a winner next week.
Every cycle insurance policy sold by the ETA includes Cycle Rescue – a service that recovers you and your bike should you suffer a mechanical breakdown or puncture. However, it always pays to know how to fix a flat yourself.
Environmentally friendly cycle insurance
On the face of it, one cycle insurance policy is much like another, but the devil is the detail. How much excess you will be charged is just one of the things that varies wildly between providers. Another is so called ‘new-for-old’ replacement – many insurers use this term, but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, devalue it severely.
For over 30 years we’ve provided straightforward, affordable bicycle insurance. Whether you use your bike to commute, shop, race or amble in the park, ETA Cycle Insurance has you covered.

This would be great

Lovely bit of kit
Eric Ludlow
I’ve lost count of the number of ETA draws I’ve entered – surely the good luck fairy has to visit me this time!
David Gray
CO2 is heavier than air. Would that matter?
Andrew
Punctures, sadly, are an occasional cost of cycling. Tools that help get them fixed fast are fantastic – all the quicker to get back on the bike and moving again.
Pat Hagen
This would make my commute so much easier
Richard
Not winning this would leave me feeling a little deflated …

It’ll huff and it’ll puff and it’ll blow my tyres up!
Peter Chisnall
I’m pumped up about this prize!
Carol W
A small but mighty looking monster with extra puff 🙂
Chris Wrigley
Cool tool
Pamela
I have struggled to get my peddals off – all help appreciated.
Peter Clark
This would be great – I’m two years puncture free now. It can’t be long. Karma is going to bite me soon.

Sounds like a great innovation

Looks like a great tool to take on a ride, but also one that if you are on a ride you would rather not use but could be very glad you have.
Vincent Procter
I hope it comes with a bottle-opener for when I’m camping.
James
Would love to try one please.
Bryn Gwyndaf Jones
This Tool Monster Air & ETA cycle insurance is all I’ll need.
Gordon
What a great bit of kit. I could certainly use that.
Graham Corfield
Tool Monster!! This is a real monster of a tool, who wouldn’t want one of them in their bag?? Me please!!
Mark B
What a great bit of kit!
David Curran
There’s nothing quite so unpleasant as being stuck on a country road on a frosty winters night with a puncture. Any tools that help get your hands back in their gloves, and the wheels speeding you on your way has got to be a massive benefit. So, a great big “yes please”.
Jason
Fingers crossed
Sarah Brooks
This looks extremely handy!
Darron Hawkins
Looks like an essential bit of kit, would love to have one of these instead of carrying round three or four things like I have to now.
Robert Lewis
I know what you mean about punctures! That tool looks like a great thing to have if something goes wrong on a ride.
Tim Earl
Hey, I’m first! This looks like a gas.
Philip Benson
Painless puncture repair – I wouldn’ mind that
Brian
Just what I need especially in winter.
Steve
I’d love a Tool Monster Air – it looks like the only tool I’d ever need to carry in my saddlebag.
Leslie Morley
Neat tool and helpful video. These punctures do strike just when you’ve become complacent!
Jane Collier
Sounds like a great piece of kit for someone who gets frequent punctures when delivering bread to the masses!
Steve
Topeak or not Topeak – definitely Topeak! Tool me up, Scotty!
Philip White
Topeak
TOPtool 🙂
Mike Croker
would help to keep me ‘ridin on air’ 😉
Bill
A top tool from Topeak….Would be a handy addition.
Jim Woodlingfield
This looks a great multi-tool and would be a change from pumping up the tyre miles from home!
Phil
Can I have it
Stephen D
Ingenious design. I’d love one please.
Chris
👹 Monster product – pump me up!
Jonathan Hunt
Topeak make some decent stuff.
Darren C
Handy as a multi-tool, BUT I would never use a CO2 cartridge for environmental reasons – a hand pump is far more efficient, takes years to wear out and is less damaging to precious planet earth.
Richard Newman
I’d like to be ready for the puncture fairy’s next surprise visit.
Mark Bowman
Please enter me for the Tool Monster draw.
Ema
Could this be my first present in 2021? 🙂
Craig
Blow me, what a fabulous tool!!
Steve Davis
I’ve already got some Toepeak tools and the quality and design are really great. This one also looks superb.
Thanks for the opportunity eta.
Gillian
My riding buddies would be dead jealous of me with one of these fancy tools. ❤️
Philip Gregg
What a great tool!
