For your consideration are 2 Muti tools one for a bike and one that will most like fit in your Bug Out Bag or they could both be carried in a pouch on your bike and the the 3rd item is a flash light.
The first item in the group is the Alien by Topeak Tools, it has 26 tools altogether. While some of them you may only be need occasionally, when cycling far from resources, or just commuting home on a miserable rainy evening, the abundance of tools available in this single mechanism will make the the difference between needing a rescue or being able to make it back home in one piece. This tool works for many different bikes, some of them many decades old, having the box wrenches (8, 9 & 10 mm)ca be helpful in adjusting Mafac brakes, tighten fender bolts, or make derailleur and shifter clamp tweaks. Two of the box wrenches also feature 15 and 14 gauge spoke wrenches. There is a serrated knife and bottle opener which can come in handy while camping, as well as a chain breaker. There is even a pedal wrench which can be deployed by attaching it to the supplied 8mm Allen key. I’ve never had to use this, but it’s nice to know it’s there.The multi-tool comes in two parts which are separated when you depress the Alien logo button, which allows the two sections to be pulled apart. One of the most useful features of this multi-tool is that the box wrenches, knife, chain breaker, and screwdriver can be locked into place so that they don’t move around as you are trying to use them. The plastic body also has two integrated tire irons. I’ve never used these because I always carry separate tire irons, but in case you find yourself without your favorite tire irons, these are always there. The weight of the tool is about 275 grams. It can been carried and only used lightly. Comes with a heavy duty nylon carry case but could not get the picture to load. $22.00 shipped USPS
The second item up for your consideration is a vintage, used but not abused, rare Gerber Multi-Lite tool. It measures 3 3/8 inches X 1 inch X 7/8 inches and weights in at 4 oz. Has a working light, scissors, sheephook serrated knife, corkscrew, bottle/can opener, knife, small screwdriver kit, toothpick. Overall condition is very good. $35.00 shipped USPS.
The third item up for your consideration is a Preon 2, It is 5” long and roughly 1/2” across at its widest point. With batteries installed it weighs 1.8 oz. It’s uses 2xAAA battries. The Preon 2 is a clicky and has has three basic modes: a moonlight low at 2 lumens, a medium of 22 lumens, and a high of 160 lumens, accessed in that order. It runs at moonlight for 23 hours, 6 hours at medium, and .8 hours at high. $25.00 shipped USPS.
