Tool kit

[ECrider]

Wow, I think it was a very good bargain! I had to pay in Sabie/South Afrika for a 1974 edition with the famous illustrations 28 Euro! But it is really worth it! Enjoy it! Hans

Result!

and my new multi tool to boot!

It may have been already posted, but one tool set I have used repeatedly on the INEOS is the Wera WER05056490001 Tool-Check PLUS Bit Ratchet, 39 Pieces. I have only had the car 5 days.

Since i had the tools out for the oil change this seems like the best time to post them . So i tried to build a robust kit that will potentially be able to cover 90% of things i will need to do to my Gren . Any time i wrench on my gren i make it a point to use this kit . In case i need something that is not in the kit /or does not work as i want then i will add it / remove it as time goes on . This is just the tool kit no it does not contain any spares. It will only be carried on trips ( not on a daily basis , since the Gren is my daily driver ) .
The kit it is in a kind of a tool roll . Laid out looks like this :

Each pocket has a theme to it so i know what i expect to find in there in a glimpse .
First pocket has pliers , squeeze things and cutting things (ignore the marker its just in case i need to draw a mustache on someone) :

Second pocket is the persuader along with all the poky bits and we cannot forget the thumb detecting nut f*cker (adjustable wrench) :

Third pocket we have sockets . I tried to find all the types on the Gren and here is what i came up with . External torx , torx , normal( hex 6 point deep and shallow ) . I know the seats are held in with tamper proof torx but I decided not to include them , they can work on normal torx also but the hole in the middle makes them more susceptible to failure so they are not included .

Pocket 4 is everything screw related plus a tire valve stem tool ( one in the car at all times with extra valve stems , if you know you know )

Last pocket is the miscellaneous: allen keys , test light , epoxy paste , random hose clamps and a pair of strippers.

On the reverse side is a full set of combination spanners .

All packed up looks like this :

Hope it gives someone ideas . Show us your tool kit and what you have in it !!!

Bumping an old thread. I just read all 25 pages and with the exception of sniping, lots of good info.

@Tinki can you update us on what you’ve added and subtracted since you posted this? I really need to put together a kit and this thread certainly is a great resource.

Agreed on that @Krabby Specifically I need to know what I don’t need in my kit, as I’ve probably got too much.

I’ve never really got to the bottom of exactly what size sockets and spanner’s I need and then there is the thought in my head, what if I need to help someone else ? I’ll take this just in case

Many of us are of that mind set. If you also have a caravan you pack a rivet gun, screws , hinges , locks, clasps, jackstands, plumbing fittings and plenty more besides the drill, impact gun , angle grinder, chainsaw...
Unless you are seriously DIY you won't need to flex a giant spanner and socket set.

I like to have a go at most things. I begrudge paying someone to do things I can do myself. Some say it’s being tight but I say resourceful.I definitely want to be able to do a bush fix of the Grenadier whilst out in the field.
I stopped to help and loan these guys some tools in Mauritania. They were so grateful and I enjoyed the banter. Also I’m a great believer in “what goes around comes around “
