i also have a Topeak Hexus X - https://www.wiggle.co.uk/topeak-hexus-x-multi-tool - amazing piece of kit, particularly the very clever chain breaker that does actually work.
I’ve also just got one, looks like it’s got most of what you need

+1 for the Hexus X - have one for each of my bikes.

Two nearly new winter tyres for the road bike. Half the new price. That’ll do nicely.
I picked mine up for only £58 for the pair including delivery. perhaps there is a worldwide surplus of tyres!

A set of single chainring bolts. I'm too spinny a rider to ever need the 50T ring.
It's obviously not that I'm too unfit to ride at over 20mph. Obviously...
Also looking at getting my 531ST powdercoated, probably in RAL6027.

Bits and pieces:
My Avanti Circa has 'interesting' brakes in that the front basically doesn't work and the back barely does despite setting them up OK and putting decent pads on. They're Avid Shorty 6 cantilever so I've bought a replacement Shimano CX50 to try on the front.
Bought a pair of Tubolito S-Tubo tubes for my son's new race wheels for him to test. Given the price they'd better be really good: it was these or latex ones.
Also some cleaner for the ultrasonic parts cleaner my son got me as a Christmas present.

But of a haul arrived today.
Lomo Gillet for when it gets a bit warmer and I don't want to wear a full jacket. It's nice and thin so I think it will fit in the saddleback. Some overshoes which I hope will help the really cold feet I have been getting and the kickfix attachment so I can fit my Carradice handlebar bag on the road bike. I picked the bag up for a few quid on Facebook market place before Christmas but needed the bits to fit it. If I get on with the mounting / style I'll probably treat myself to the superc one. I just need to retro fit the light bar to the base of it as these did not have the fitting for one.

those are are nice! look thick! I tried some for my cleated MTB shoes (which I use on my road bike) but the front hole doesn't line up with the cleat. I would have to trim it w/ scissors to make it work. any trouble lining up the hole with those?
