Squid, I really like that tool, that thing is perfect.
If you know where the tire/tube was punctured, I've been known to fix the flat without removing the wheel. It's not as hard as you think.
That wrench is very short, which means if fits anywhere, and that's cool.
BUT, what about leverage to tighten the rear axle, which needs to be pretty darn tight?
See how the handle faces the opposite direction of the flats on the wrench head? And, see how the handle angles AWAY from the wrench head?
After you hand tighten the axle nuts (and don't kill yourself here) flip the bike back over onto it's wheels. Place the wrench on the axle nut (notice it stays in place because of it's weird design) and step on it.
It's a perfect no-slip platform for your shoe and easy to get the nuts tight that way. The angle handle keeps the wrench out and away from the drive side chain stay too. Rubber coated so it wont scratch rims.
