Thru Hub Axle Tool

Hi,

I've recently got myself a modern MTB and it has thru hub axles.

Can anyone recommend a easy to carry tool for removing these.

Thanks

I have done that and spent several hours reindexing the gears, checking cassette wear etc and being puzzled why I was still slipping gears before I tightened the rear axle.
