I have the Topeak Survival gear Box. It's pretty compact and has lots of different tools - including a chain tool. The chain tool has been used at least twice out on the road and performed as expected.

When I worked in a shop in the 70s, the only chain tools we had were the Cyclo Rivoli ones - small and with many sharp angles. They worked, but sometimes you needed some pain tolerance or to put a rag in your hand on tough chain. I wouldn't hesitate to carry something like that on a tour, or the Park Ultralight Chaintool. I definitely wouldn't carry a heavy professional grade chain tool.
Oil is good, grease is better.
