Some cyclists are fanatical, or merely fetishistic, when it comes to tools. I can honestly say I wasn't, even when I worked as a mechanic: If a tool did the job and didn't ruin the piece of equipment on which it was used, it was good enough for me.
As for tools to carry on rides, I never was impressed with multi-tools, which seem to get even more gadgety every year. I've never seen the need to carry more than the Park Tool MT-1, tire levers and the Victorinox Classic knife.
But, you know, some people have to have an "elepant gun" with them for a walk around the block. I thought about them when I encountered this item in a store in my neighborhood:
A corkscrew for red wine? Hmm...How would a white wine corkscrew be different?
