I think you first need to consider what you are getting this tool for. Some of the multitools I see appear to be geared for people who own no other bike tools at home and are looking for a miniature tool box. The only things I'm likely to want or need to deal with on the road are flats and the occasional loose stem or seat post or adjustment to either. I can do all of that with a tire lever and two allen keys. If I break a chain or have some other major catastrophe, I'm calling in the cavalry (wife with minivan!).
