Ya but...
Those multi-tools aren't exactly small either.
When I biked (pedal) I could carry what I needed.
Forgot what your friend wanted - pliers? - but there's
not many sizes to twist on any bike.
Though I don't use them, and I don't like them, a Crescent
wrench is better for cranking nuts than any pair of pliers.
Somebody already wrote about a multi-tool pliers breaking.
I can't imagine breaking a pliers, and I've cranked on a lot of them.
And you need a slip joint in any set of pliers to get a good bite on
more than one size thing.
I'm spitting in the wind here anywhere, because the multi-tool Army is
marching, and I'm just going to get run over. (-:
