If you are in a pack of Zs.....and you are the parts guy...yes to this list. I used to carry water pump, alternator, hoses, belts, and even gaskets. I found that I never used them including the fluids I took along

I do carry a volt/ohm meter as well as a couple screw drivers (flat and philips), metric allen and torx set. I also carry a metric socket set and flex metric ratchet set.




The tools are a bit overdone but I may use them on someone elses car that has had poor maintenance or poor trip preparation. I also carry a good flashlight or even two flashlights. Yes....a credit card with high limit and good cell phone with Jeff's number.

I concur with Daryll
