Omega Mountaineering has mated the ever-present nut tool and a carabiner. Save weight, save space and it's just flat cool. The cleaning tool is stamped from 4130 CrMo so you won't bend it while you crank on that stuck nut and it has all the needed hooks and holes to retrieve cams that have decided to take a walk on you. Add a lite aluminum carabiner gate and a large opening for easy clipping and unclipping and you have the coolest cleaning tools on the market today.

This tools strengths are also it's weakness, it's light, small and very handy. I've been using it for a couple years and have found that has two major drawbacks.
1. It's thin and painful to bang on with your hand if you need a bit of extra force.
2. It's sometimes a bit too short.
I've replaced it with the Metolius version which is longer and has a rounded end for convient banging.
However, even with these two short comings, the tool works really well and the 'biner in the handle makes it very convient. If your rack is mostly cams and you don't need the extra beef, then this tool might be just the thing.
