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?
