See what tools you need to carry(for example virtually all of my bolts can be undone with 3 allen keys)
I use a multi tool, a small adjustable spanner and tyre lever (plastic) for commuting, and add a chainset remover and chain remover when touring. (with spare cables etc)
So far been ok, but I agree with Mike and Toolfreak. When working on the bike at home, I use proper tools from my big toolchest.
