The Alien is a nice tool because it separates in two and you can use the allen wrenches with the open ended wrenches... it is immensely popular with cyclo tourists because of the extra like a knife and bottle opener but is it a $50.00 - $60.00 tool.
I work a good number of remote events and for the most part, I can get most things done with a simple multi tool as long as I am working on newer bikes.
