Show me your tools

[Zviedrs]

Some like it as light as possible, but some prefer going all-in. What tools do you usually take with you when going for a road bike ride (fitness, training), weekday commute, short weekend touring and so on? Feel free to share heavy bike touring gear, but this time I'm more interested in "light rides".

For my road trainings I take this compact fellow, it's Merida tool with CrV 1-3-4-5-6mm, 03 screw, PH1 screwdriver. It fits nicely within the tiny saddle bag with a single spare tube (and perhaps 1-2 tyre levers if the weather is cold) and helps with some emergency drivetrain adjustments, stem, saddle fit etc.

Chain tool and quicklinks after having a chain break on me, and having to wheel the bike home. Patch kit, just one tire lever, brake pads in case they're needed miles from home, hex wrench thingy. Also, a multi-tool on my belt. I have a similar tool kit on my hybrid. I carry these not just for myself but if I should meet a fellow cyclist in need of help.

Having a problem with photo size. Originally it was 700 x 700 approximately. Downsized it to 500 x 500 and still too big. The O.P. photo was huge by comparison. It's a nuisance having to keep downsizing and then checking to see how many KB it is.

Park Tool's I-BEAM 3 MINI fold-up is my multi-tool for commuting, less than 200g.
