Anybody have any good suggestions for small tool kits for overland gear?? Or a list of things to compile tools wise specific to working on vehicles? I have a pretty decent gear list for recovery and emergency but I need to get a solid tools kit going and being a new hobby mechanic I need to know what to have!

1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" socket sets on rails, with extra 10mms, 12pt regular and deep depth. Spark plug, Mid length sockets are nice as well. Matching drive size extensions and breaker bars/ratchets/ratcheting adapters, cheater pipes. I prefer wobbly end extensions.

Wrench sets like; combo, dual box end, ratcheting box end combo ( like Gearwrech type ), C & S type obstruction, in 8mm-19mm.

Misc tools like; adjustable wrenches, bit drivers ( Allen, Torx, etc ), hammers, pliers including water pump and vise grips, screwdrivers, and some basic specialty tools like electrical.

Spare parts ( belts, coils, plugs, fuel pump, ignition module, bulbs/fuses/relays, fluids/chemicals, light source, jump box, work clothes, rain gear, flares/reflectors, AAA membership.
