Topeak Mini 6. It has all the allen keys I'd need, plus a Phillips (which has been needed when my cleats came loose). It's probably too small to get much torque, but enough to get home I figure. The only other tools I'd ever see myself needing on the road might be a chain tool or spoke wrenches. If buying a new one, I'd look at the Lezyne Stainless ones.

on mine you can open the opposite side bits to use as an extended arm to get a lot more/plenty of leverage.

Lezyne stainless steel.

Last thing you need is a mini tool that's too rusted to get open.

Nope, just about to leave for a trip across the US. Should be fun.

I really like mine. I have even used it a couple of times... :-)
