I have used a multi tool to build up a bike as much as possible. When I tour I like to be self sufficient for the mechanical problems. I don't bring headset or bottom bracket tools but I can do most emergency repairs with a mini tool. But I don't use the mini tool at home too often. But using the mini tool lets me know what works well on the tool and which don't and I can see if there is anything that it is missing that I may need to bring along, i.e. I now bring a torx for my brakes.
