I am just curious what essential tools do you guys always carry in your car? What size wrench, etc...
I used to carry a small tool box but it's occupying space so I want to carry less but just the most important tools.

I usually carry a slip joint pliers, a few screwdrivers. I intend to get some kind of a set that has some jumper cables, a 10/12/14 socket and ratchet, and a few other things though....

Assorted screw drivers, 10/12/14 socket and ratchet. Torchlight, jumpercables. Thats all really.

small adjustable wrench and jumper cables. the 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm, are also a good idea. on top of that get AAA, the you don't need tools.

cellphone.

I used to carry jumper cables, but I let my brother borrow them like 3 years ago and havent bothered to get them back.

^^ CELLPHONE ^^ i get rid of all that extra supplies i dont need. Took my spare tire out, dont know why i would need to carry wrenches around i dont plan on taking my car apart when im not at home.. i probably need to get jumper cables tho

i carry a full socket set,6-18mm,2 ratchets,the socket set has screwdriver bits in it,jumper cables,quart of oil, anitfreeze, gloves, flashlight,flares,screwdrivers...you could say im prepared for the worst,with 280k on my car i have to be

You're going to need more than that with the ford you have. Its best to just strap a rolling toolbox to the back...


3/8" ratchet set (6mm-19 + 6" extension), multi-head screwdriver, LED flashlight. They all fit in the OEM tool bag in the frunk.

Who has a ford?

Ummm supposedly you, unless you were lying...

That was my brothers car,i stated that earlier in the thread...

Ah, so you posted a car that isn't yours in the post a pic of YOUR non 6gc thread...


Fibby McFibber-face!



Then tell your brother to strap a rolling toolbox to his Ford. He's going to need it!

besides the factory tool set (ie. jack and tire iron) the only other thing i carry is a pair of jumper cables and a little zippered tool set with a few ratchets, sockets, allen keys, and screwdrivers tucked away inside the compartment where the stock jack is located.

im not the only one in that thread who posted in that thread that dont actually own the car..and that car is bulletproof,most cars are if maintained properly..

A screwdriver, some razors, and an 11mm ratcheting wrench in the green car... my tool box is in a different car right now.


Essentials I would say probably
3/4" ratchet
a few different size extensions
sockets 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 18, 19mm
wrenches of the same size assortment
screw driver w/ changeable heads
a pry bar
a small and large adjustable wrench

screw drivers (Flathead/Phillips)
jumper cables
emergency supply kit I got a while back
pliers

Used to have 10 and 12mm socket wrenches in the car too until I lost them somehow

10mm sockets disappear into thin air. Whenever I need one I can't find one. I own about a dozen in different sizes (6pt, 12pt, deep socket, etc.) and all are missing somewhere...

I'm surprised most of you guys carry that many supplies. My supply extends to my cell phone and the OEM stuff under the trunk carpet.

I did just realize that I have two 12mm socket wrenches stuck in my hatch. Does that count?

I forgot to mention that there was a crappy socket wrench in my engine bay for quite a while without me even knowing lol (previous owner) I guess that counts, right?

At least you got a free wrench out of the deal. All I had under the hood (frunk) was a couple acorn shells and 17 cents.
