Which is why I stated "YMMV." But yeah, I know that feeling myself - the one time you decide to leave the tools at home it bites you in the ass.

However, please forgive me for pointing that for the problem you described you didn't need any multi-tool. A 5mm hex key takes up close no room, and since you brought up weight - weighs practically nothing...and costs about 50¢ at a neighborhood hardware store. Plus they come in long lengths too (if it will fit in your bag) for anyone worried about getting enough leverage...





Yes, carry and use whatever makes you happy - I just posted what has been working for me...
