Smallest penknife / multi tool with pliers?

Gerber Vise is teeny tiny

It is and I ordered one. I was going to keep it but the finish was so rough / sharp that I sent it back and got the Nextool – which is much better finished.

These have got me out of a sticky situation once or twice

I always thought that was a clever design @jaminb , but they seemed a bit flimsy to me. Are they well made? Do the tools work nicely?

they are better than cracker quality. bending a bent rim back is about the limit but pulling out split pin for a pad change or undoing a stuck valve are all ok. they will go rusty in the bottom of your camel pak so keep the at the top.  For 3 quid worth a punt – I bought my friends a set each for putting up with me on the trans cambrian way!

I’ve had a Buck Knives Model 350 on my keyring for about 20 years. I’m not sure what I’ll replace it with if / when it conks out, as they’re discontinued and resell for a  fair old whack: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126294738608. It’s perfect for removing properly stuck valve cores / thorns / pad retaining split pins.

Gerber Dime here too, it lives in my riding pack and has been a ride saver a couple of times.

Used to carry a Leatherman Wave which was total overkill and (possibly slightly) illegal.

I had one for a while, I think it was branded “The Bug” and I have half a memory that it was in a range with similar budget keyring tools like a torch or a bottle-opener or a capsule you can keep an emergency tenner in.  It wasn’t terrible but wasn’t particularly good either.  As the recommenderer suggests, it was probably worth three quid.

Have few of these multitools and somehow Gerber stuff has always been disappointing to me. I am sitting on a remote meeting now, have Gerber Splice and a broken Dime in on my desk and this Splice sure is low quality item. Dime is slightly better quality wise but end bolt broke of on a stubborn screw.

I have Leatherman Style PS on my riding pack, it is light but use  probably limited to opening tubeless valve nuts and holder for tweezers. That one has been discontinued too.
