[Closed] I've lost my favorite tool...

Several years ago MBUK gave away a free triple allen key and it's been with me on almost every ride since, until a couple of weeks ago when I came to put the front wheel in (maxle requiring an allen key) and couldn't find the bloody thing. I've since turned the garage upside down and am now coming to terms with the idea that it is lost forever 😥

I want to find a replacement (so I don't have to carry the individual allen keys), so what to get? I could get something fairly similar (but not the same!) like this:

or I could get a multi-tool. I really like the simplicity of the original as I could easily take it out of a bag and use it with one hand, but I don't know how much I'd miss that. What do you use and why? Any recommendations would be greatly received.

I've still got my MBUK one somewhere, good tool, much nicer to use a tri-spoke than a multitool IMO.

Too bad MBUK didn't put a certain sheep on it...
