I've never snapped a chain, not on the road or on my mtb. But I always carry a spoke key...
I don't think I've snapped a chain (not that I can remember anyway) but I have ripped the rear mech off a couple of times, and also bent a rear mech hanger badly enough it needed a singlespeed bodge to get me home. I think there is a spoke key on the multi-tools I use but I wouldn't really know what to do with it as I've never tried to true up a wheel. I've got a wheel in the garage that needs sorted though, so might give it a go.
That's my "bitsa" bike changed to 2x10, with a 38:24 up front and an 11-36 cassette. Will give it a try later and see how it works in practice. 24:36 is probably lower than I need as a low gear so I suspect I might still be trying a few combinations out - both cassette's as I've a few 10-speed options to try - and also chainrings.
