A set of open end wrenches with the attached swivel socket end, it takes the place of a seperate socket set in most instances.

A set of screwdrivers like these that P3 sent.

a set of these will help to fill in the gaps in a emergency when you don't have a full tool chest with you.
JUST BECAUSE I'M PARANOID, DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT OUT TO GET ME. |

used with the vise grips used to cut whatever needs cut carried one since I used the one on my Swiss champ to roadside repair a leaking heater core shutoff valve I was able to saw off one nipple and use it to bypass the valve by slipping it into the hose on the other side.

Battery post and cable end cleaning tool, they are small cheap and will save wear and tear on the pocket knife.

A big adjustyble spanner. I used to drive a tracktor on our farm and to get to the sparkies, my spanner was the best.
When it rains, look for rainbows. When its dark, look for one more star in the night sky..... I am that star.

Fireplug wrote: Basically I carry same items as Fireplug. I also carry 3 fire extinguishers. In my life I've had 3 occasions where I needed to use a fire ext to put out vehicle fires. The 1st time I had no extinguisher. That was an expensive repair. #2 I could have used 2. I had the fire 90% out when first fire tanker arrived. They doused an old Caddy and mopped up. Burning tires (4) are hard to put out with one 5 pound extinguisher. #3 I was warming up a work truck a few months ago when a guy from another subcontractor told me the truck was smoking. I jumped out and saw smoke. The ext that WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN TRUCK was NOT. The guy gave me his ext. and I put out 3 spot fires. That was an interesting morning. Yeah I carry tools and emergency related gear. W/my 3 fire ext. I have fairly substantial FAK, reflective orange vest, 1 'road triangle', 2 24"reflective cones (in bed of truck), road flares and always at least 2 flashlights tho quite often 3 or more. I carry the OEM jack+a better jack from my old truck. |
