Can’t say I carry it, but I and my wife have Swiss Army knives which have
number of useful tools. Lives in the bike tool box.

I generally don’t unexpectedly need to use tools so don’t routinely carry
them bar a multi tool/allen key set in the bike saddle bag as that’s about
only time might need unexpected to use tools.
