I bought a Crank Brothers F15 multitool for my new MTB almost 2 years ago... i liked the slip case design, but in the end, never used it. I then got into gravel bikes, and picked up this slim little number. It's only been used once, by my buddy to tighten a bolt on his bike. I like the longer length of the tools, knowing short ones can be difficult or impossible to use. And this one was a great price for me:

(i'm not sending amazon affiliate links to make money lol )

I like the look of the fix-it-sticks, and the PB Swiss/Victorinox tool looks cool

If i was going on a multi-day ride, with panniers or bike packing bags, i'd throw in a mini shop-style chain tool like my Park CT-5, or even a Park CT 3.2. It seems to me the multitools with chain breakers have some compromises.
