If I needed a hack saw, I would just throw in a real blade, I could grind one end into a knife. As I say my basic rule it that if it doesn't torque something on my bike I don't carry it. I can't think of anything I use needle noses for on my bike. My only leatherman is the one with the scissors instead of the pliers. But I don't carry it either.
My bike multi -tool handles just about all the bike related things I need to do but off the bike it is nice to have a little more at hand.

Today I was happy to have brought the Surge as I used the scissors, knife, pliers, cable cutters, awl, file, and the metal hacksaw blade to cut off small bolts... it also has a very good pair of scissors.
