multi-tool?

Hi folks,

I'm a few months into cycling and am slowly building up my tools/equipment arsenal that I carry with me when I am biking. So far i have a spare inner tube, mini-pump with built in gauge, tire levers and bike lock. From the videos/articles I've read it sounds like a good multi-tool is in order, specifically with a 'chain breaker', I assume so that if the chain snaps I can break off the broken link and reattach the chain and limp home?

Any recommendations for a good tool to get? A search of Amazon for "bicycle multitool with chain tool" shows lots of options, not sure if there is a good recommendation out there. I will also need to watch some videos on how to do this if it happens to me.

Finally, any recs on additional tools or parts that are most haves. I'm gradually increasing the distances I am riding and don't want to get caught out there.

Thanks!

Nathan
