Road side flare kit (when broke down at night, so others will see you)
Extra batteries for the flash light
Electrical connectors (3-ways, butt connectors, etc.)
Good pair of non-slip gloves
Mechanic gloves
Cell phone charger
Should have added- my truck is a commercial vehicle, so I already have emergency triangles, leather gloves/work gloves, extinguisher, cell phone/charger, flashlight/extra battereis, CB radio, Roadside assistance card (while under warranty).
Are most of the bolts/nuts metric? Or is it SAE sizes? or both??
If you had to get one size ratchet, what drive would you use? I thought the 1/2 in. drive would be good.
I was trying to get by with just the sizes of wrenches I'd really need vice getting a socket set, and wrench set. Basically a small bag with the essentials. Maybe I'm trying to be too simple about it. I know sometimes it's cheaper to simply buy the kits instead of individual sockets.
I thinking about Great Neck, Husky, or Craftsman brands.
Instead of a screwdriver set I thought about a good combo screwdriver with 2 different flat and two phillips sizes.
The truck came with no spare tire and jack so I need to get one and I'm looking for a bottle jack and 4-way lug wrench. What's the best took to take the lugs off the rear dually wheels? I don't think my 4-way will fit. The lugs seem too deep.
Plus I have the timber to stand it on (my dunnage on the flatbed.
Thanks!!
If we can get a good "on board tool kit" designed, it would make a good sticky.
