If I need any more serious repairs, I'm calling for a ride.

I hate most multitools. I find them both clunky and chunky. They generally don’t fit the hand very well and are difficult to get at the right angle for really using them. I currently like Fix-it-Sticks, either the Mountain kit or the Commuter kit. They work better, feel better and are a bit more compact.
