Your cog is slipping.
Meh. This has always served me well enough to not need a fancy-shmancy tool:

Is a stubby 15mm wrench really too heavy to bring along on a ride?

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
Depends on the bike... with the '55 Raleigh I just use my bare hands but for the Gran Sport I carry a PDW peanut butter wrench in my kit or a 6 inch adjustable.

seriously. Weight isn't really an issue for most wrenches.
Personally, I use a cool little lo-profile ratchet from gear wrench: https://www.gearwrench.com/catalog/xl...m/gearratchet/
The sockets have a pass-thru design that allows for access to long bolts without a deep socket. Pretty lightweight, and a ratchet is more convenient vs wrench imo.

If you want to spend too much money:

Obviously not for the road but I figured what we were after was tool pr0n.
