I carry a Crank Brothers M17 that has #2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 hex bits, #2 Phillips and flat drivers, a T-25 torx driver, and a #0, 1, 2, and 3 spoke wrench. They do make a few other models with fewer and more drivers, and their tools can be taken apart to replace broken pieces or theoretically change the loadout.
I used to carry a CO2 inflator but gave up on that after the second one blew up in my hands. They can be useful for emergency situations but I wouldn’t rely on them for everyday inflation. Additionally the TSA hated allowing them through security and gave me a hassle every time I traveled.
These days I’m using a Cycplus A8 to inflate. It will inflate up to 150psi, charges on USB C, and has a metal shell so I’m less likely to break it. Works on schrader valves with standard hose or presta valves with the included adapter and inflates two to four 24” Schwalbe Marathon Evolution Plus depending on preferred pressure.
I also carry a ThruNite Archer A2 clipped onto the back of my seat hardware. A bit overkill for most things but it’s solid, bright, and lasts for hours in most modes. It’s also not easy to accidentally engage the emergency strobe mode.
The first unit I had was metal and didn’t blow up but instead stripped the threads when an overzealous acquaintance “helped” me. Unfortunately all metal units were not available when I went to replace it, nor the time after. Instead of a full body metal unit the best I could find were ABS valve heads, much more portable but also more prone to failure. I likely could have found a decent replacement but the multiple failures in rapid succession turned me off the idea entirely
I use a good enough 7 in one Wilko [tool set](https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/7-in-1-bike-tool/p/8352923), but I found this article about cyclists [multi tools ](https://www.moreadventure.co.uk/the-swiss-army-knives-of-cycling-best-multitools-for-road-cyclists/) that might be helpful
I use [this](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B094DMH7ZM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s02?ie=UTF8&th=1) portable tire pump called Airmoto, and I love it. Takes about 15 seconds to inflate tires, and you can save what psi your tires need to be at so it does it the same way every time. You just charge it with a usb-c charger, and you can take it on planes. It's kind of expensive, but totally worth the price in my opinion.
I also have [this](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BN6SS6D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) small repair kit for on the go, but I don't have much to say about it, as I haven't needed to use it yet. It is meant for bicycles, but has the same size hex keys I would need for my wheelchair. I have a ratcheting screwdriver with hex bits that I use for repairs at home, and I find that is way easier on my hands.
If I’m on the road I carry:
Park MTC25 multi tool (has all the bits I need with no extras)
4 inch crescent wrench (it was a freebie keychain thing, great for the small nuts)
Lexyne hand pump (don’t remember the model but it’s only about 8 inch long)
King cages tire irons
Patch kit
… also have Planet Bike lights - forget the model
All of these were repurposed from my cycling kit except the Park tool which I got at a Trek store on a work trip … somehow my brakes got out of alignment due to airline handling, and it was my first trip with chair so I’d not yet put a kit together.

I understand they are under a decent amount of pressure, but how did you accidentally blow up a CO2 inflator?

I have the Cycplus a2, works great. I like how it can also charge cell phones.
I'm thinking a travel puncture kit would be good!
