Which mutli-tool would you recommend that you can carry on a keychain? I'm looking for something that has a decent blade, pliers and screwdriver.

The Leatherman Squirt is a nice keyring option. I have one for just that purpose. I won't really take the place of a quality folding knife (or even a larger tool like the Leatherman Wave), but for it's size it is very durable and convenient especially since I don't carry my Wave on a daily basis.

Those are excellent suggestions. I was already leaning towards Leatherman, and I ended up getting the Leatherman Squirt PS4, which is like the Squirt P4, but with scissors. It's Leatherman's smallest multi-tool that has a knife blade, pliers and scissors, and fits perfectly on a keychain.
