I got this one about a year ago. It's super light and comes with a frame mount, and can be used for both schrader and presta. It's the best portable I've used so far, but like other posters have mentioned can be hard to get your tires to a high enough psi.
A year isn't long enough to say much about durability, but there are 600+ reviews on amazon you can take a peek at if you're interested.
All in all, it depends on what you're looking to get out of it. Need something to help you in a pinch that doesn't need to be refilled or anything? This is it. If you need something to keep you going on a century, look elsewhere.
I've been carrying this one. Also not sponsored.
I also rode on a set of Tannus airless tires for a year. Solves the problem entirely, but you give up a bit of comfort.
Pocket Rocket, and no i'm not kidding... that's what they call it.
It works well, gets the tires up to 100 psi without too much work.
That's a foldable lock. I have a very similar setup but my pump is silver.
Edit:that's the one with the bottle cage mount I use:

I got this really cheap one on Amazon for $10. The spanners on it are crap, but other than that it's served me well and taken care of one flat so far.
I got a decent pump (on sale) and also carry some paper towel and a spare tube. Since my rear wheel isn't quick release, I also have a small adjustable wrench. I ended up making my own little bag to fit it all.
I didn't want to spend a ton starting out, so I think it was a decent place to start. I'll probably upgrade parts over time when they break/wear out.
I use a Topeak Pocket Rocket. I've used it for a year now and it's saved me at least 20 co2 cartridges in that time. It comes with a bracket to hold it along the water bottle mount which works really well, but you might be able to fit it in a larger saddle bag.
I checked it with a gauge and I was able to fill up a 25c tire to 120psi in about a minute. It doesn't have a hose, but at $15 it's the cheapest pump that will fill a road tire and not break when you need it.
Thank you. I'm not a spandex wearing type of bicycler (and the world thanks me for saving them a trip to /r/eyebleach), so weight isn't important to me. With my circumference, the difference in weight isn't important, I just have to be able to carry it on the bike (or the bag). That seems like a better price than I would have thought, though. Huh.
In my case, I need it specifically for punctures on the trail. I agree a good pump at home is wise. Not sure why, But I guess I never thought to compare the good tire to the flat for close-enough pressure. Sadly, I've gone through two tubes in a very short time. Still got a couple of CO2 canisters left, but I'd like to leave those to emergency-emergencies. I don't mind stopping for 10-15 minutes to pump up a tire after patching it.
EDIT: Thank you!
Get yourself a solid bike multi-tool such as this one, and a portable tire pump. Those will take care of 99% of things that'll happen on your average commute.
It wouldn't hurt to have some spare tubes, but the last time I tried changing a tire on my bike, it snowballed into an $80 repair for a new chain and derailleur, so I've vowed not to do that again.
The spam filter removed your post because it thinks your Amazon url's are affiliate links. If you shorten them like below, Reddit won't filter them out.
You can also remove the human readable part and just make them /dp/CODEVALUE and they will work.
I bought an inexpensive Topeak Pocket Rocket. It comes with a plastic thingie that lets you attach it underneath your bottle cage, so you don't take up all of your lugs.
Don't forget a pocket tire pump for after you field repair your tube!
