My favorite combo wrench has been the Roadie Tools Clamp-Stik Wrench, machined from solid stainless steel. Its also relatively affordable at $22.

That looks real easy to carry around. But how well does it work with like a S4?

Its really hard to improve on something like the C-wrench ...
I have a couple of these and really like them. They are quite inexpensive at the local hardware stores ($10 or so for a six inch).
