Not that confident on your build then



Sorry couldn’t resist

It's not my build I'd be worried about its the transit pvc I'd be worried about!

A portable gas powered soldering iron and some solder.
Goes, and can be used, anywhere!
Made by RS components.

 

[Richard n Ann]

Mini ¼" socket set with screwdriver bits and a 12v soldering iron have been my most used tools.

Drill

Box of fuses
Spanners
Spare tyre
Hammer
Cable ties
Jack
Rope

Good shout - got that already and checked that it covers our motorhome

 

[Littlewheels]

its not only tools its a box of " bric a brac " connectors, screws, nuts, fuses, clips, tape, etc etc etc that is very effective.

Yes,this is what l call my Man Box if it isn’t in there it doesn’t exist.

Besides the usual regular tools, a cinch clamp tool and fittings for any water leaks that may occur, and they occur when you least want them to.

When I purchased my PVC I purposely bought a very small toolbox, it focuses the mind on what you actually need! Multi tools rule

 

[cyberyacht]

Bodge tape for if it moves and it shouldn't.
WD40 for if it doesn't move and it should.

Plus a hammer for when WD40 isn't man enough

 

[mitzimad]

A very small Philips for refiting the crap fridge lock used at least once a week domestic should supply one with every fridge

 

[bigtwin]

ME

Yes, you own it brother!

Used to carry enough kit to probably remove the gearbox, change a clutch or lift an engine, however after a trip to a weigh bridge I had a rethink and left the bungee cords at home.

I carry everything, 2 socket sets, tools, impact driver, the list goes on, but then I’m a vehicle mechanic and can’t let go.

Probably only need a man drawer…

It takes time to work it out of the system mate.. But, it would be silly to abandon all adictions..

At least you made a start with the bungies

 

[Detnor]

A decent magnet on a length of string, amazing how often I just can't reach things. Been used to clamp a loose awning, hold a bag with a spare key, even retreived a set of van keys dropped down a drain.

 

[haganap]

a fire extinguisher, a great big one!!!!

 

[Duck Truck]

i do carry a lot of tools
but the most useful one is always the one I haven't brought with me

 

[Reallyretired]

Everything everyone else has mentioned but I do carry a set of combination spanners from tiny to huge. Quite large ones are needed if you have a loose gas connection. All in a stacking tool box which is pretty heavy Im afraid.
Also 12v soldering iron which I have never needed so far.

Ducktape fixes most things

 

[denisejoe]

I use Wago fixings rather than a choc block now
