Just stick a few packs of multicolor post-its on it and sell it as a pinata.

I'm trying to build up a comprehensive toolbox that I can keep in the back of my Landrover or chuck in the car for long roadtrips. Its a landrover so the list of possible repairs that I want to be able to deal with is quite big and some stuff is fairly heavy duty! Has anybody else done this and been organised enough to have made a list of what you put into it? This is what I've got so far:

The opening of The Circle is Emma Watson in a broken-down Geo Metro. Now I know one of you has that as a fetish. Tomarse posted:I'm trying to build up a comprehensive toolbox that I can keep in the back of my Landrover or chuck in the car for long roadtrips. - Stanley locking adjustable instead of just a generic one - BSW/BSF sockets if you'll be messing with any of the bits requiring them - I see little additional value to the 3/8" drive kit if you have the 1/4" and 1/2" in there. That's a "nice to have" for me. - Batteries for your torch - Breaker bar - Don't buy those circlip pliers with interchangeable heads. Buy a set of cheap one-piece ones - A jack that won't kill you. Well, not easily. - A reasonable length of thick (say 12mm) blue poly rope - Fast setting JB Weld or Araldite or similar - Another, smaller, vehicle to go and get help

I see tools to repair brake lines, and brake lines, but no replacement fluid. Might as well add a quart of oil and either a jug of coolant or something to fill with water.

Thanks for the suggestions!. I've built this so far using my duplicate/spare/older/crappier tools.. Which is why there is a 3/8 set of sockets in there that starts at 11mm... I'm only planning on using this in anger or emergencies, not as an everyday set. QuarkMartial posted:I see tools to repair brake lines, and brake lines, but no replacement fluid.

InitialDave posted:- Jump leads! Cheers, I hadn't listed some stuff as it isn't in the toolbox but already with the car. I've added some more of this to my list. I've got a set of spare 1/2" BSF sockets. have added them. I only ever use a couple of them (9/16 and 3/4 for Saab suspension), but i'll have the whole set just in case. I only need a 1/4 Whitworth spanner for the LR handbrake drum. I do actually have one of the interchangeable circlip pliers sets in this box - but only because I've had it in my main toolbox until recently building a set of proper one piece ones for my proper toolbox, and they are loving annoying to use but do work! Is there a reason for the blue poly rope over a flat tow strap and ratchet straps? (I have both of these in both landies already!) spog posted:Zip ties I've already got a first aid kit in each of my cars, and because I'm a good scout there's some johnnies in them too. I had considered my electrical cable for exhaust hanging too - but a chopped up coathanger is probably more sensible. quote:Likewise: 2 hammers and 3 sets of grips seems a bit excessive. updated:

Baby Driver is a loving amazing movie with an even better soundtrack. Edit: Which I can also say is responsible for introducing me to the fact that the giant interlude in the middle of the live version of Stacked Actors is not just whatever random poo poo came into Dave Grohl's head, but is actually a cover.

Well'p. There's a pre-owned 2014 BRZ with only 31,000 miles on it at a local-ish dealer for $16,500 (USD -- local is $22,000 CAD). Guess I'm going to go look at a new car.

The Locator posted:Indeed. I live alone, and on non-telecommute days I leave the house about 7:30 and don't get home until about 7, sometimes later. I just don't think it would be very cool to get a doggy and leave him/her alone 12 hours straight every day I go to work. Same thing that stops me. I'd love to have a dog, but being stuck in an apartment 14 hours at a stretch four days a week isn't an environment for a pup.
