I've got the XS which is even smaller, and has the distinction of being the only wrench I carry with me on MTB/hiking trips, basically an EDC item in the pouch of my backpack:

The mini has still got the pushbutton and dual locking tabs, the XS is more compact, much lighter, and is slightly more complicated to use, but can be used one-handed.
It's fixed a number of problems with skis, bikes, and tents that you might not expect of its size, it will do properly maintained axle nuts and other large fasteners (it prefers 12mm and less, where most wrenches suck, but can do up to 18mm or 3/4"). I carry the 10" pliers wrench in my work tool bag for working on hydraulics, pneumatics, and it's definitely one of my favorite tools, unlike the accursed worm-gear Crescent wrenches...
- ls15 4y agoNice EDC item. I sometimes use the mini one-handed too, but that requires all fingers and must look awkward.
