Those multi blade knives are useful, I was using mine a lot at home to open cans.
But multi bits are lame for allen keys IMO. Individual allen keys are indispensible. You need the L bend to get in tight spots, like under the seat. And besides that, those bits do NOT stay still. My most used wrench by far is the 3 arm 4/ 5/ 6 mm. This is great for really torquing quill stem bolts escpecially. On modern bikes, you don't often need else.
I never leave home without 10 tools in my pockets. My IGH bikes need them.
