I’ve got a tiny mini leatherman. Whilst a lot of the tools are duplicated, it does have some pliers (that are pretty sturdy) which you tend not to get on a multi tool

Voile straps would be my nomination
They just work lovely, so many uses strapping things down (or up) and I’ve not manage to break any of the ones I have.
