Pre crash we had a great list of spares and tools you should be carrying with you. So here we go again. I'm particularly interested in which spanner sizes you should carry. Please just post your additions and we'll compile a list at the end. Sockets and spanners in all sizes below:- 7mm 8mm 10mm 13mm 17mm 19mm Flat head screw driver Cross head screw driver Small mole grips Large mole grips Wheel brace/socket and bar Spark plug socket
Is there any need for 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19mm (and so on) spanners/sockets? I can't remember all the sizes off the top of my head.
I have a tool kit which has all of the sockets, spanners and drivers required in a handy little carry case. Add to that a pair of plumbers grips, feeler gauges and standard jack. I never leave home without a box of surgical gloves too, but that's another story... Job done
I would defo carry an 11, 17 and 19mm. Might be my French car days that tell me to but they are useful sizes. Plus an adjustable spanner.
a small and large pair of QUALITY mole grips can sort loads of things fit every size bolt can double up as a emergency nut or can even lock them on to cable end to make a temp nipple to get you home
