Yes, I carry a Fabric 16 multi-tool. I've had several instances where the hex tools came in handy and once, the chain breaker. I've never had a chain go, but another guy on one of our group rides snapped a new chain about a quarter way through the ride. We were able to patch the chain back together and he finished the ride. I use the tool less than 0.1% of the rides I do, but I just like knowing it's there. The Fabric unit is very small and about half the weight of the Topeak unit I was carrying.
