What do you carry in your toolbox?

[Jim Oaks]

I had to take all my tools out of my tool box because I got snow in my box working outside in our last snow storm. Wiping them all down it made me think about what I carried and why.

There are a few obvious things I carry such as a spindle nut socket, breaker bar, (2) screwdrivers to place on each side of the clip and 15mm socket to remove the spindle nuts when replacing an axle.

I carry more stuff than just that and have assisted people on the trail with things like my Jump Pack and even an extra relay.

I was just wondering what you guys carry in your tool kits on the trail?

I haven't really done much wheeling that is a long way from home. Usually I am only 20-30 minutes from home. My cousin who I always go wheeling with, he is the one that always has actual tools, so I never carry much.
