What tools do you keep in the trunk?

5 pound sledge with a 12" handle, small ratchet & socket set, leatherman mul***ool, duct tape, tommy tape (for fixing what duct tape won't), spare headlight bulb, vehicle cell phone charger, 550 cord, big maglite, tire plug kit, air compressor, scissor jack, 4-way, lighter, and water for me. Just in case.

I fill the fluids before I leave...if it leaks bad enough to where I need to fill it at every stop, I should have fixed it before I left home.

 

The Ford tool..... A B.F.H.

 

I have one of those....

 

I think the MOST ironic part of that whole multi-tool is the fact that it has a little ring on it so you can hang it from your keychain. If THAT don't yank the tumbler out NOTHIN' will. Lol

 

A wrench for adjusting the cal-trac bars. A low pressure tire gauge. 2 - 9/16 wrench's for adjusting the clutch. A couple screw drivers. And a hand full of fuses.

 

i mostly run small blocks so i can get parts easily, cary a spare fuel pump for sure, gas line, fittings, clamps wrenches, sockets screwdrivers and allen wrenches in metric and usa, wire, terminals, couple bolts and nuts, some loc***e , rags or paper towels, good alum floor jack rated to lift car
aint got no AAA card so sometimes i use a lot of the tools and many times forget that that I cary them
most parts that i can get at wally world i dont always carry, but sometimes i come home with them, after taking a unproven car to CA that was a 2K mile test run one way, but fun even took the wife with
also cary a spare air bag and couplers and spare hose, never need it so far but it like a good luck charm!!!
and portable air pump and tire plugs
a couple qt of engine oil and trans fluid

 

Let me guess, you lost yor ID?

 

Hand tools, jack stands and a good jack. A fully charged jump box too.

 

Screwdriver. Pliers. Lug wrench (which probably doesn't fit the lug nuts on the vehicle is it's in). Cell phone. Credit card.

1 pack of Zig Zags, 2 rubber bands, a condom, bubble gum, toothpics and a roll of ductape, and one single unicorn teer... Never left me stranded yet !

 

Jack and lug wrench, just like the factory built it.

I don't NEED tools, I own a Ford.

Only thing you need if you break down along the highway....

 

I carry the same bag of tools that I carry to the U Pull It yard. If it gets whatever part I want off there, then it will get me through most repairs.
My bag has 4-5 straight and phillps screwdrivers in ***orted sizes. Alo has channel lock pliers, lineman's pliers, diagonal cutters, razor knife, little roll of iron tie wire, 3/8" deep sockets, couple extensions, universal, 1/4" deep well socket set, and a claw hammer for persuasion. If it's a long trip I carry a aluminum small floor jack to get things off the ground.
The tools all fit in a zip tool bag with pockets inside and out that's about 14" long, and 8" wide. Easy to toss in the trunk or backseat.

coat hanger (for other people locked out)
