Crankbrothers Combines Pump + Plug Tool
Crankbrothers' Klic HV pump combines tubeless plugging and inflation in one tool. Smart for trail riders—if you're okay with high-volume tradeoffs.
Crankbrothers built a high-volume hand pump that doubles as a tubeless plug tool. The Klic HV stores a plug fork, four plugs (two thin, two thick), three reusable Plug Mate anchors, and a valve core tool inside the body. The flexible hose tucks away, the magnetic head clicks on fast, and you can pre-load plugs into the fork so you're not fumbling with wrappers mid-ride. It's $50 and comes with a bottle cage mount.
Here's the catch: high-volume pumps trade speed for ease. You'll get a fat tire seated faster than with a standard pump, but topping off pressure takes more strokes. I can't verify how well the magnetic head holds under trail grit, or whether the internal storage stays rattle-free after a season of washboard. If you're running tires under 1.8", this isn't your tool—Crankbrothers makes a standard-volume version. For gravel or MTB riders who hate carrying both a pump and a separate plug kit, this consolidates two problems into one pocket.
