I am looking for a small socket set, advice please :)

Hello everyone. I am looking for a small, light duty socket set that I can use in a pinch or carry with me. My most used multitool is a Leatherman Wave, with bitkit, extension, Fenix LD01 AAA torch, and Pocketwrench 2....all in the Leatherman sheath. That is my most used and most carried EDDC setup. Now I have recently gotten into RC trucks for fun...not racing. I just enjoy the fun of driving them....and you do have to work on them. I would like a small 1/4 drive socket set to add to my setup to be there should I need to service my HPI Blitz while away from home and at the park running it. The PocketWrench 2 will work in a pinch but it will not get to all places....such as the wheel nuts....which are 7mm in size. Now I do have one of these in my arsenal....http://docallensversatool.com/ and maybe it would work, but still need a small socket set to go with it. I also have a Victorinox Swisstool Spirit, but do not have the socket set for it. What are your ideas here? Thanks for the help. :)
When In doubt, C4

CHeck out the Chapman CM-13. It sounds like it's what you are looking for.

Check out the Topeak Ratchet Lite and the one made by Victorinox.

Home Depot and Lowes carries nice little socket sets, with ratcheting handles.  Great little kits, especially considering the price.

I've been using Wiha and Bondhus tools for 25 years and still have and use their tools that I bought back in my early 20's.  I've had Snap-On drivers fail on me, but never in all that time have I ever had a Wiha tool fail.

How about these?

I know you're looking for a socket set but I've found a 4" adjustable wrench to be very handy. I have this one.
