I own a lot of pairs of multitool pliers (2 swisstools, multiple leatherman (juices, squirts. wave, skeletool, mini, micra), gerber, other no names)

The only two that get taken on bike rides is the wave and the skeletool, generally the latter. I find scissors useful but the skeletool doesn't have a set so somethings take the wave

I'll let you have that if you can post a picture of you putting your face into a muddy wheel so you can unscrew the nut on a presta valve with your teeth

Surely one uses their Wolf Tooth Components Master Link Combo Pliers for such tasks.
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

I'm rather taken with the nail file on that MW multitool. Even if we smell like farmyards we still have to try and maintain the image of dapper bikepackers-about-town :-bd.
