I just picked up a Pocketwrench II from Lee Valley Tools. It's a neat pocket tool, especially for less than $6. Here's the description from their website:

"This is the next best thing to a real wrench! Made from hardened chrome vanadium steel, 1/8" thick, 4" long, and 1" wide – perfect for a pocket or tool pouch.

It will tighten or remove nuts from 3/16" to 11/16" or 5mm to 17mm. Excels at preventing nuts from spinning as you tighten a bolt. One end is tapered for use as a pry or a screwdriver. There are also Imperial and metric scales.

One of the best features is the 1/4" hex hole, which allows you to slip the wrench over a standard hex bit (not included), creating a lever for applying extra torque. A wonderfully useful tool."

And IMHO, Lee Valley is a great company. I placed my order on Saturday and received it on Wednesday. They even special ordered a Gransfors Bruks axe for me that they don't usually carry.
 
I've carried one for several years now. they are handy. Picked it up at a Lowes store when they had them on special for $3 or $4. Takes up very litle space and will hold a nut while the bolt os tightened. Works well on the clamps used on lighting instruments in the theatre as well.
