Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

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.
