New car broke down, Fixed the problem, put together a tool kit Options

[JStroud]

Decided to drive the new 74 to Auburn today, didn't make it home died on interstate 80 just passed Sierra college blvd. Smart guy that I am didn't bring any tools or even a flashlight, so I'm standing here waiting for AAA to tow it home.
Hope everyone else is having a better day

Some fine emory paper and zip ties should be added in.
for wrenches, you can leave most of those at home. You only need the 10, 12, 13, 15 and 17 in normal sizes and also a stubby set of wrenches.

Ditch the allen wrenches, and use allen sockets instead. You will thank me for that if you ever need to use them roadside.

For your sockets, you don't need the 1/4 inch drive set. Stick with the 3/8s inch.

You need a pair of vise-grips!

I'd add a second set of batteries for the flashlight (lights tend to be dead when you need them), and get an LED head light instead of a hand held flash light.

Finally, an old Haynes manual, with color copies of the electric schematic for your car inserted into that section.
