I have the Crank Bros. multi-19
I don't know how it compares to the Park Tool you have (couldn't find the "Park Tool 9") but I find it fits nicely in my jersey pocket.

not super thin, but very compact and reliable. 8 bucks.

If you don't feel like you need a chain breaker, they can be very small.

Other similarly small ones include one made by Pro BikeGear (I have this one too and it's really small and works fine) and one by Blackburn.

I'm a big fan of this tiny Lezyne, but I can't find it on their site anymore. Perhaps it's discontinued, but you can still find them around.
3, 4, 5, & 6mm plus Phillips-head.
51grams, if Amazon.com is to be believed.

And it looks like they make one with a cleverly-made chain breaker that weighs 101grams.

Haven't tried it out yet, but it looks cool to me.

I have the Serfas Slimline on both my bikes. Not sure of the weight, but it works great, and is very small.

How do you keep it from abrading your spare tube? Keep the spare in a ziplock baggie? One of the nice things about the folding tools is that potentially sharp edges (like flat screwdriver blade) are kept inward. Of course the latch that keeps the two halves of my alien II together is broken and rather than replace it I just keep my tube in it's original box because my seatbag is rather larger.

My thought is that unless your multi tool features an anvil and a hammer, these things don't weight enough to make a diff in my jersey pocket. All I want is a chain breaker, because having your non-chain tool multi with you and experiencing a chain issue sucks.
