Thanks for the great review. If I can allow myself some constructive criticism: All essential shots from the tools in and out of action are out of focus. Either you have the Manual or Autofocus of your camera set to the wrong area (e.g. road in the background opposed to the stem) or distance, or you are closer to your lens than the closest focus limit of it allows (in this case, just either position the camera farther back and try to zoom a little bit in, do not hold the product you want to show as close to the lens, or (most expensive but best results) - get a dedicated lens for macro shots. Maybe your current lens/camera setup already has a macro setting. The thing with autofocus is that it often focuses on skin tones and not (as in your case relevant) the individual tools, so it makes sense to manually set a defined area where the focus should primarily be. Greetings from Bavaria! And I think I will get the Nano 9
Great timing with your camera comment. We've been using a GoPro which has a fix focus which is why most of our closeups end up blurry if we don't remember to keep a minimum distance. That's going to change soon though, just ordered a Fuji X-M5 so there should be a big jump in quality once we switch over.
I prefer the Topeak PT30 as well, that's the tool I leave in my saddlebag. The Nano lineup is definitely for those with smaller bags or looking for something lighter.

smaller, less torque or purchase/leverage.. looks fiddly. probably fpr weight weenies. Also pricier because of the miniaturization
