Just Browsing What are your must have tools
- Thread starter Crazyfun
- Start date
Multimeter, cable ties, hammer, assorted screwdrivers, plumbers tap, Gaffa, Magic Tape, mallet, tarp, pliers, cutters, small socket set etc.
Basically filled a tool bag and hence some of the stuff is no longer living in the garage.
First trip out I needed a washer so now a set of assorted screws and washers.
I probably should get some 12v wire, I still need more John Guest clips.
Hose and water fittings as well I should add extra.
I would think someone has a list somewhere

screw driver (philips & flat head), adjustable spanner, hammers, gaffe tape (different coloured ), multimeter, superglue, assortment of screws, matches (for fixing those table leg screws that always drop out) and this tape stuff that you wind on and forms a leakproof seal. Not to forget an assortment of fuses.
The list gets bigger every day!!!

What you said but add gas lighter, side cutters, grip pliers, not sure if you would class battery charger for AAA, AA batteries a tool nor Hand held two way radios but.... Bought a small tool kit from the BGS that has most of these in a nice zippered wallet that sits in my box, has come in very handy!!
Use the slightly more expensive Eneloop rechargeables but they stay charged in storage for months without dropping their charge by anything significant. Actually use them everywhere even at home!
And 18 inche length of water pipe. Can be used as hammer, wheel wrench helper, hand brake assistant.
All the above plus allen keys, torx set...I have a screwdriver set that inlcudes a heap of differn't tips which is very handy my 3 draw tool box could probably strip down my engine annnd air compressor, puncture repair kit and most important the numbers for NRMA,RACQ,RACV etc.................sometimes I need help. Oh and a box of matches in case I really get the s***s
I think I have everything I will ever need until I'm broken down on the side of the road in the middle of no where, and it would be a $2 item that I don't have that I would need.
cordless drill with a head for drop down legs and a head for the screw in pegs.
Keeping a eye on this thread for what I missed getting have most of the above..

looking at a few of the Facebook posts around here lately, I would also add wheel nuts to that list! We have had a few people going around town stealing wheel nuts, that's just crazy!!
Wow heaps of replies awesome! Will pass info onto the mr. He thought I was mad when I joined this forum now he says ask on the forum haha
Forgot about puncture repair kit in my list, screwdriver has multiple heads and towing, pull out of trouble stuff.
No elec winch on tug tho, hand job!
PS: just added Wire Strippers and small soldering iron (12v if I can find one) wish I had them on my last trip when a wire pulled out (don't ask, my fault).:whoo:
