I'm making up a toolkit to carry in the car. My list so far:



10,12,14mm combination wrenches

flat & philips screwdrivers

regular pliers (smallish tip, but not needle nose)

pocketknife

booster cables (more important in winter)

tow rope (i'm paranoid)

spark plug wrench

can of ATF

can of oil

electrical tape

duct tape

rag



This should all easily fit in my storage bin behind the driver's seat which isn't used for anything else anyway.



Anything I missed?

 

Condoms...

 

Spare engine? Toilet paper?

 

i keep a quart of oil, a rag and a pair of rubber gloves in there. i dont believe in carrying tools with me

how bout a bottle of premix, incase the oiling system somehow fails...?

 

Okay, okay, I get it . . . yes I'm paranoid . . .

 

Hey I always like to carry tools in my truck, (not the REPU, yet) cause if something busts on my truck or if we are caravaning and something busts on someone else's car we can fix it Pronto..

 

I used to carry my whole toolbox (not that big but still) in the trunk of my Passat. Mostly to keep them from getting mixed up with my Dad's stuff. I never needed them on the road. But then that thing had a trunk the size of Texas.

 

Get some telescoping magnets, the kind that look like a pen, but extend to like two feet. They are like 2.99 at Harbor freight. Also a dentist tool kit works good, like the scrapers and stuff they use to clean your teeth. Again, 2.99 at Harbor Freight. The magnets kick *** though.
