Coincidentally, just this morning I ditched my multitool. First commute ever without one.

I've been commuting for 12 years now, about 35,000 miles, summer and winter, and I have yet to use a multitool on the road. The only thing I've ever used is spare tubes and a pump, and depending on the bike/tire, tire levers.

I use the multitool occasionally at home when I need a second hex key. I think out of all my multitools, the only thing I've used is maybe 3 different sizes of allen keys.

The only real tool I need on the road is a 15mm wrench when I'm riding the IGH bike (for changing the rear tire), and for that I bought a stubby wrench from Lowes.

Seriously, what's going to happen on the road that can't wait until you get home? Anything that's not related to not maintaining the bike properly in the first place?
