I'm looking for a small, light multi tool with pliers and a blade.
And yes, I have an embarrassing number of multi tools that each have pliers and a blade. What I'm looking for is something crazy small and light to carry in my bicycle tool kit. The ONLY items it needs is pliers and a blade - the reason is that I carry other tools that have everything else I need - but lack the pliers and blade that I've needed a couple of times now on recent rides.
This is the right idea:

But still too big and heavy (yeah, I know. The term is "weight weenie"). Take one blade out and shrink it by 1/4 and this would be ideal.
The tool doesn't need to be ultra durable. It DOES need to be of reasonably high quality though. It won't see a lot of use. But it needs to be useful when I need it!
If anybody has a brilliant idea for me, I'd love to hear it!
thanks!
