I have a unknown brand bike multotool in my rando bike toolkit. It has a chain tool, allens, a couple box-ends, spoke wrench. I've used most of it over the years, and while not as user friendly as shop tools it got the job done. Supplanted with tire levers, patch kit, 4oz sealant, tubeless plug tool with in-built presta tool. Finally a tiny non bike multitool with blade and needle nose pliers. The latter for extracting sharp bits embedded in a tire. I've used this kit to fix stuff in very remote situations. Patience and persistence are also critical tools.

OTOH, my fixed gear commuter kit consists of tire levers, tube, allen and CO2. Walkable shoes take care of the rest.
