I use the Park Tool MTB-3 I also carry a small adjustable wrench (fits the odd size nuts on British bikes). There are lots of choices out there. My suggestion is to buy a quality brand tool, the cheapest ones are worthless.

As a Christian I can't recommend any portable gods, but I use Crank Brothers. Good quality. I also have a Park tool mini.

I am using this one for over a year and am very happy with it. I use it on every ride since my bike is a splitter rather than a real folder.

Other things to consider:
1. Do you need tire levers? (I am using these ones after trying few other models) http://www.performancebike.com/bikes..._1035363_-1___

2. Do you need a chain breaker tool (I used to carry one, not anymore since I never had chain problems).

3. Do you need a 15mm wrench to remove the rear wheel (I carry this one http://www.craftsman.com/shc/s/p_101...2_00944117000P , you may have quick release)

As for gods, one alternative for carrying a portable god is to use an omni present one.

I am using an almost identical Craftsman 15mm stubby wrench, except mine has a ratchet built into the "box" end. Easy to carry and provides enough lever action to loosen the rear wheel bolts.

I don't worry about the "Gods", but I will gladly assist if they are having trouble with their bike.
