Incredible Pump40HV: Compact dimensions, clever details
Pack size drove every decision in the design of the Incredible Pump40HV. At 12.4 cm long, it fits a jersey pocket, a frame storage bag or the chest pocket of an EVOC Hydro Pro without protest, yet still delivers a 40 cc stroke volume. The optional hose is the detail worth highlighting: it screws onto the valve but is engineered to release neatly on disconnection, eliminating the maddening habit shared by most screw-on systems of pulling the valve core out with it.
The Incredible Pump40HV fits just about anywhere.
The pump also doubles as a storage housing for additional Daysaver tools and can be mounted to a bottle cage or tool mount using an optional bracket. Ergonomics, though, leave room for improvement. The pump cap has quite a square-edged shape and, when inflating tires to higher pressures, particularly on road bikes, it digs into your palm, making it rather uncomfortable and harder to use.
IncredibleX: L-shaped design for better access
One thing up front: the IncredibleX is being replaced by the Incredible8. The two models are essentially identical, differing only in the bits they include. While the IncredibleX comes with two-piece bits, the Incredible8 uses one-piece versions. The two-piece bits will remain available separately and continue to offer maximum flexibility. For most riders, however, the lower price is likely to be the bigger draw: the Incredible8 costs €20 less than the previous model. When unfolded, the IncredibleX stands apart from conventional folding multitools with its distinctive L-shaped design. The layout improves access to bolts that traditional tools struggle to reach. Leverage is excellent, which becomes particularly noticeable when loosening pedals with the 8 mm hex key. The bits and bit holders are also designed for easy handling and can be swapped effortlessly, even while wearing gloves.
The L-shaped design ensures excellent leverage and makes it easy to reach awkwardly positioned bolts.
Storage flexibility is the system’s standout quality. The tool mounts inside the handlebar via adjustable end plugs that expand mechanically rather than relying on friction alone, making removal cleaner than most, or sits inside the pump body, and in either configuration it remains rattle-free. A OneUp steerer mount works just as well. The drawback surfaced during testing: one of the bits broke. The modular pin-and-magnet connection is sensitive to incorrect installation, and bits that are not fully seated in the holder can fail under load.
Conclusions about the Daysaver multitool
The IncredibleX and Incredible Pump40HV make a compelling case for riders who prioritise clean, integrated carry. Modular compatibility, thorough spare parts support and build quality that justifies the asking price are the headline credentials; the L-shaped layout adds genuine access advantages that a straight tool cannot match. The price is the honest obstacle. Those willing to absorb it get a system engineered with care and calibrated for daily trail use.
Tops
- Clean workmanship and premium material quality
- Versatile integration options including handlebars, pumps and various tool mounts
- Excellent leverage thanks to the L-shaped design
- Extremely compact despite its generous 40 cc pump volume
- Smart screw-on hose design protects the valve core
Flops
- On the expensive side
- Pump cap ergonomics could be improved for high-pressure inflation
- Modular bits require precise installation and may break if fitted incorrectly
