Riders who want one reliable tool for everyday adjustments, at home or on the road.
The Park Tool AWS-9.2 combines five of the most used bike tools into one folding body: 4, 5 and 6 mm hex wrenches, a T25 Torx compatible driver and a flat blade screwdriver. That covers seatposts, handlebars, stems, brake levers, rotors and derailleur limit screws on most bikes.
The bits are industrial tool steel, hardened and tempered, with chamfered tips so they seat cleanly in bolt heads. The composite handle is light, grippy, and Park Tool says it is 40% stronger than a steel handle. It can be locked in several positions for more leverage.
At 114 g and 95 mm long it is small enough for a saddle bag, but solid enough to use in the shed instead of loose keys.

Maybe not for
Covers 4, 5 and 6 mm hex and T25. Check your bike: some parts use 2.5 or 3 mm keys.
Seat the tool fully
Push the bit all the way into the bolt head before turning. Most rounded bolts come from a tool that was only half in. On carbon parts, finish with a torque wrench.
The blue tools in almost every bike workshop.
Park Tool has made bicycle specific tools in Minnesota since the 1960s, starting with a repair stand built in a local bike shop.
