In the 60's to 70's, Dad took us kids down to Mexico City multiple times in his 61 International crew cab pickup with a camper installed. One tool box of all the (then) SAE sockets and wrenches, fuel pump, water pump, starter, generator, belts, hoses, points and ignition stuff, roll of electrical wire, battery terminal ends, fuses, bulbs, wheel bearings, u-joints, gasket paper grease, oil brake fluid, flaring tool and method to block off brake lines (in case of rupture), bailing wire, tin snips, extra jack, rope, chain, come-a-long and more. We were in traffic in a small town when his oil pressure dropped to zero. The oil sending unit had burst open. He had an 1/8" plug for the brake repairs that he used to block the hole in the block once he removed the sending unit. Turned out there was a Dina truck dealership in the town (Mexican International Trucks). He laid the part on the counter, the guy glanced at it and went to the back and brought out a new one. The other time he dropped a back tire in a hole and snapped a u-joint when he rocked the truck out of the hole. I helped him change it on the back bumper. He carried a patch kit, tube and tire dismount tools and two extra spares but we never had any flats. Because of poor fuel, he had a backfire that burst open the muffler but he took a big pineapple juice can, split it down the middle and wrapped the muffler with the can and wrapped it with bailing wire...no zip ties there! On my last trip when when I was 14, I got an intestinal infection that almost killed me. I never fully got over it until someone suggested (when I was 35) that I take acidophilus. I was cured by the end of the week. ...so much for American medicine.

Cody, as the former owner of a chain of automotive and tire repair shops, I speak from a bit of experience. Agreed with all that you said, and would simply add that if the puncture is in the sidewall of the tire, i.e not in the tread portion of the tire, your plug is likely not going to work even temporarily. In that case, you'll probably need other options. Thumbs up.

This is great, but there are two things I would add; a flashlight with lithium batteries (even if you already carry a flashlight) and an adjustable wrench. Being able to fix stuff is no good if you can't see what youre doing. An adjustable wrench is cheap and will fit in the tool roll just fine, and is way better than trying to turn bolts with a vice grip.

It also has usb ports i use when i go fishing to charge up the headlamps i forgot to plug in. My mom and sisters seem to drive through construction zones all the time because I end up plugging and inflating their tires 3-4 times a month. I've got 2 now. One in my truck and one in the house.

When I was a kid spare tires were full size and rotated. Then they put in the minspares. Some cars are now coming with a can of fix a flat and an inflator. 20 feet of chain with hooks never let me down flashlight flares

I’d add a small jump starter/powerbank (I just got a new Dewalt one that’s tiny that is awesome) and a Milwaukee M12 Inflator kit or whatever tool brand you’re invested in. 👍

I would throw some bailing wire in the kit as it is heat resistant whereas zip ties are not. If you need to rehang an exhaust or some other hot piece of a truck or where there may be unavoidable friction wire is key. A hacksaw blade with a mini straight handle allows 6" of blade to stick out and then the blade can be reversed and use the other end of the blade. A set of 6 pt/open end wrenches are handy too. A small hammer never hurts either.

I agree and I've carried those things for a long time. I also have a roll of electrical tape and a multi-purpose screwdriver. Klein makes an 11 in 1(I believe it's at least a 12 in 1 now) Milwaukee has one. It covers a few torx, square drive, sometimes allen, phillips& straight tip, a few basic nut driver sizes and a valve stem tool on some. Other companies mfg them as well.

It’s videos like this that have me coming back for more… your list is very good however, I have a few suggestions. I use a tool roll attached to my get home bag and I carry it in whichever vehicle I drive… don’t leave the house without it… personally, I would stress “quality” in your kits… nothing worse than depending on one tool for a job and because you bought cheap quality tools they break first time you really need it miles from your home. Additionally, add quality long jumper cables or a portable jump battery 🔋 to your kit. Finally, I incorporate a spare fuse kit and thick industrial grade 32 gal trash bags in my kit for a thousand different uses from making emergency rain gear, covering broken windows, to ground cover .

Yup plastic trash bags or clear plastic is a great idea for covering broken windows, especially if you park in the city or be unlucky enough to run into Antifa.

Id add the 6 in 1 klein multidriver and a small pair of channel locks, from my experiences as a plumber. Along with the large pair of channel locks you can do most operations.

Grandad had it right. Although not as quick and convenient, bailing wire can handle some heat which gives it a wider range of applications on a vehicle. Although, since they take up no extra space, why not carry both.

Speaking from experience… it’s a good idea to have some wire for when your exhaust hanger breaks in the mountains lol zip ties melt

I found that Klein has one of their multi-bit screwdrivers (which are a good idea themselves) that includes a valve stem core remover bit; which is something you mentioned you'd like to see, Cody. The Klein will contain every bit you could possibly need, and doesn't take up any more room than a normal driver.

Schrader is the name of the bit for core stems. Not trying to correct you. Just informing. My klein has om the flip side of that bit a spiral extractor for broken stems too

Use only metal handles on plug kits! Another tech in the gm shop I worked at was using a plastic handle tool good quality part store brand. Handle split shaft went through his hand 2 surgeries and a year later he’s finally back at work.

Great kit but I would also add a hammer or even better a hatchet/hammer combo and very important a metal bar that fits over your lug wrench because Jackass's love to tighten lugs way too tight and then you are really really screwed.

I carry a plug kit in my truck. One night I got gas and heard a leak. Ended up putting 6 plugs in 1 tire! Got me around until I could get a replacement.
