What do you guys think of the Cresent Flip Grip multitool?

I'm not liking how the maximum size is 16mm. It'd be far more useful if it could fit 17mm nuts and bolts. (Are 16mm bolts even a thing? I've found a few 15mm on my Jeep, but never a 16mm in the wild). I've seen youtube videos about how the liner-less blade comes up with the wrench head, and I think I can deal with that.  What I want to know is how useful of a tool is it? For something I'd carry on a motorcycle? It's not going to manage my axle bolts, I know that. (27mm and 22mm), but for general usage I'm kinda iffy on whether It'd be more useful than a carefully chosen selection of motorcycle boxed end wrenches. (They're shorter than regular wrenches, but not as short as a stubby wrench. Thinner, and designed to fit in a motorcycle tool box). I might rather have a plier-based multitool and a selection of wrenches... but man those wrenches are heavy. Thoughts?

Get a Knipex wrench plier (or one of the copies) with a suitable length handle if you need lots of wrenches. Better grip than wrenches, ratcheting action unless nearing the plier max size limit, and of course a very nice plier for holding or parallell pressing stuff. And of course smaller and lot lighter than lots of wrenches. (If space is limited there is a 250mm/ 10" narrow head version too).

(I do think the wrench action of that thing will work, but not so sure you wouldn't be better off with a SAK or multitool for the rest of it?)
