What else?
Hey fellas, putting together a took kit (see pic) for a long road trip, what else do you suggest I put in there. Off the top of my head I am thinking spare spark plugs. I am also going to get a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter for the smaller allen and torx sockets.
Appreciate your thoughts and inputs.

I make my own to.
The only metric you need is a 10mm.
I use a screwdriver with assorted bits.
Only 3 torx and 6 allens. I use a shaving kit bag with 2 zippers.
the new new style pliers that grip like a wrench. Flat tire kit, but you have spokes.
Extra bulbs, and throw away die electric grease packs.
!/4 inch drive ratchet and 3/8 adapter.
A lot in the small package.

What is the 10mm used for? I thought about using 1/4" primarily and having an adapter for 3/8, but I think I am more comfortable with it the opposite way.
I do have an extra bulb, but I need to get some grease.
Are the 3 torx and 6 allen the most common ones or the only ones that you will ever need? I am not sure what I would need so thats why I planned on bringing all of them.
I guess I should mention to, that in addition to a long road trip, I wont be coming back home for about 3 years, so I would like to take what I would use while I am gone for routine stuff.

I usually have a piece of tubing for siphoning, draining if I need. Tywraps, tape, small adjustable wrench or pipe wrench.

It's said that ANYTHING can be fixed with WD-40 and duct tape. If it should move, and it doesn't, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move, and it DOES, use the duct tape...
