For my needs, these types of wrench are near useless. They have little bite on any particular nut or bolt, and if any significant force is applied, the tool and/or the nut tends to get damaged. Sure, it's pocketable. It's also only really useful on nuts and bolts that I can already turn by hand.

I'm curious about this and tried my Pocketwrench II on a rusted license plate bolt. While it hasn't rusted completely shut, it's most definitely too hard to turn with a bare hand. The Pocketwrench worked, and the bolt was not stripped nor damaged.

Another reason for me to carry the pocketwrench is to fasten / loosen screws with non-captive nuts. Multitool turns the screw, pocketwrench holds the nut.

I just always remeber to carry a tool box in my car or truck. All the tools I have in it work way better than any multi-tool. If I break down somewhere I can fix the problem or maybe someone who stops will know how.

I always have a toolbox in my car. Multitools, folders, and other pocket tools are the stuff I always have on my person.

A folder is nowhere near as efficient as a kitchen knife to process food, but unlike the kitchen knife it's available at all times (in my pocket).
