I always supplement my bike tools with a small Leatherman knockoff, and there are some tiny scissors in the first aid kit.
The Fixit Sticks tool kit does, indeed, look intriguing. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it is in production yet. It's not listed on the Fixit Sticks website.

On the other hand, a similar tool is available...the Breaker from Full Windsor. Maybe not as compact but it works well and is fits your hand better than most other multitools.
