Which small multi tool would you advise or carry individual tools, chain splitter etc if so which would you carry and which would you recommend.
Thanks
Topeak Hexus... Great quality, all the tools you need and none you don't.
Just got a crank bros 19 .... have it in my backpack , only used the allen keys so far but everything is there if i need it .
yeah i've got a CB19 also - good amount of tools and has an 8mm allen key on it, which i needed. nice little case for it as well.
I recently bought a Lezyne-CRV 19, great wee tool. Had to use it on Tuesday morning to tighten up a loose crank bolt and I could put plenty of force into it without any damage to the tool.

CB17 + Leatherman Skeltool CX
Topeak mini 9 is worth a look. It's got all the usual Allen keys, including 2.5mm which is handy for grips etc. and it's really light weight.
The little topeaks are cool, I've got a Mini 6 somewhere which I got free with my hexus, it's no damn use at all but it's still ace...
topeak alien (or ish), leatherman copy, CT5 chain tool, chain pins, some spare links, some zippies, wire, tape,
Multitools are ok - but a bit fiddly esp for tough stuff/tight access, I'd suggest combining with a 'leatherman style' with pliers and some grunt.
Also check what's on your bike - as fittings evolve.
Yeah, that's actually why I switched from an Alien 2 to a Hexus- the Alien's brilliant but it's got so many tools that are irrelevant to my bike, so why bother? Most modern bikes use very few tools. We did use it to reattach the boot lock on my mate's car though.
