I acknowledge that people have different tool needs. For me the blade is of more use than the pliers.
Loving that Park tool and Crank Bro M5. Going to buy them on the first here.
This is the Gerber I've been using forever:

All the tools can be accessed without opening the pliers, and the knife can be deployed one-handed. The major drawback is the weight, but it's very sturdy. I've had it on my belt and in use almost daily for 10+ years, and it hasn't loosened up at all. Quite durable.
