My Topeak 18+ comes with a chain tool built in. It also has a T25, so in case things go south, I can remove a rotor and limp it home. I also like to carry a spare cable. I have not had to use it for a derailleur, but the cable used for the remote on my dropper post broke one day, and I was glad to have that spare cable with me.
