Someone wrote once that a spoke wrench is the cheapest and quickest way to put your bike out of commission that there is. Learn to use it before you need it!
I don't carry all those "multi-weights" because they are heavy and often poorly suited to the job. Take an inventory of exactly what size hexes, etc. that you need and only carry them. Often the multi-tools are too fat to work well in tight spots and you can't expect to get much leverage on say a 6mm hex with a 2" throw. Try tightening up a crank with a Topeak Alien.
