Re: What would you put in your toolbag.?
Great question.
The trick to a good toolbag (and there is a huge difference between a tool BAG, and a tool BOX) is to avoid duplication of use. I have a junkyard toolbag that I've used for over 25 years, and it rarely lets me down: 3/8" to 7/8" sockets- 3/8" drive of course- 12 point. HIGH quality 3/8 drive ratchet with 3 extensions- 2", 6", and a universal joint. 1/4" to 3/4" regular length 12 point combination wrenches. (6) screwdrivers- shorty 2" #2 philips and standards, mid length 6" #2 philips and standards, one 12" standard (for prying and leverage), and one #3 philips. 10" knipex alligator pliers. These things are incredible- try them. 6" diagonal cutters. 1/4" drive ratchet and a mini set of 1/4" sockets from 3/32" to 1/2". with one 3" extension. mini flashlight. 16' tape measure. Don't laugh, you never know when you need this. 6" vise grips 1/2" breaker bar with a 1/2 to 3/8 (and a 3/8 to 1/2") adaptor for the rough ones. two or three 1/2" sockets- 7/8", 15/16" (and lug nut size socket) (varies per vehicle) and a 4" 1/2" drive extension. 12" crescent wrench o-ring (dental pick) tool. electrical tape, duct tape, teflon tape, aircraft gasket maker, and JB weld. 10' or so of #12 ga. wire and a mini wire stripper with a couple of solderless connectors and terminal ends. dead weight ball peen hammer 6" pipe wrench (for the incredibly stubborn and stripped bolts). small metal chisel spark plug socket (13/16) and one extra plug. tire guage. That's it. And I swear I can grab this box and go anywhere knowing if I don't have it I need a tow anyways. Help me out guys, is there anything that can't be pulled/ fixed with this? |
