I didn't want to clutter up the thread below, I searched and didn't find anything, and I wasn't sure where to put this, so here it is...
What tools are in your tool bag or your new tool roll if you just bought one like I did after reading the thread below?
Tool Rolls for the trail
I've always been one of those that loads up my toolbox from my bench before each trip with everything I can possibly think I might need, which usually ends up with a very heavy, disorganized tool box and a milk crate to carry fluids/ bigger tools. Then unload it when get back home. I keep the "bare essentials" in my truck- pliers, screwdrivers, light, tie wire, duct tape, etc. but I'd like to have a more complete set so I'm not doing the load/unload and forgetting something.
I'm pretty sure I have duplicates or more of most everything to build a nice "kit" to leave in my truck and then only have to grab the odd tools.
First part-
So what is a basic set of tools to have, don't get into a brand pissing match, save that for another thread
Sockets- standard and metric, deep and regular? all sizes or just the most common?
Wrenches- standard and metric- all sizes up to what size?
Pliers- needle nose, channel lock, vise grips ??
Screwdriver-multi, long, ??
Second part-
What are some of the "not so common" tools you bring along that have come in handy? Maybe something that is multi-purpose?
