I only carry an IB-2 multitool by Park in the bike I keep at work. I'm never far enough away my office to worry about anything that it can't handle. Plus I keep a Planet Bike set of tire levels in the bag, so I'm set to go, I think.
At home I recently broke my dedicated chain breaker (it wasn't a particularly good on) on a difficult chain and ended up pulling out my Hexus II which broke it no problem. I'm also a firm believer in being prepared because I rather carry around a good multi-tool and take a few gram weight penalty than ever be stuck wishing I had one.
