Thanks, Speedo. You're probably right about buying the separate tools based on my specific needs (once I figure out what they are!!!
) , but you may want to include duct tape to your list as well.
Just as an aside, on another board, a few people also mentioned the following other mini toolkits:
a) Topeak mini 18 or the Topeak Alien II 26
b) Pedro's Intensive Care Unit 16-Function Bicycle Tool
c) Crank Bros. M-19 multi tool
They're all about the same price (along with the first one I thought about, the Bell Multi Tool) except for the Alien II. The funny thing is, if I get the Alien II (which has like every tool in the book except the tire patch stuff), it ships for free from Amazon, so it comes up to the same price as all the other lesser equipped mutlit tools that ship for about $8.
