So Whats in your tool box??.

AXLE

you'll regret chucking anything out i'm thinking LOL

How long is a piece of string :-). Thats not an easy question as I always have found you never seem to have the right one even though you add more each trip. Somewhere on this site there is a couple of good lists of what to carry, I suppose it depends on how old your car is and how well it is maintained before you can leave a lot at home. I now carry a large Canvas wrap of Multi Spanners a selection of sockets of useful sizes, a couple of adjustable, hex keys, box of drivers, a selection of electrical connectors/crimp and wire, test light, tyre changing equip, sundry electrical tapes and pull ties, spare belts and filters, small amount of fluid & oil as my car does not consume them yet. Fencing plyers and multi grips.
I will stop there as I am now worried of how much I have listed and still have to go ..mmmmmmmm Cheers Tony

Axle. situation normal mate.....don't panic, you must have needed, sometime in the past, the 1m stilsons, and the nuts off the bolts went to a good cause, other people borrowed the extra spanners and sockets and didn't return, the grease and oil needs replenishing, and the pliers obviously haven't been required for a while. No problem mate, situation normal as I see it LOL Get organised mate :-)) C Ya.

Funny story for you on tools young Axle, I have a mate who once worked for a rather large Japanese company that produces big yellow earth moving equipment.

We'll call him Fred.
Fred had an XD Falcon ute at the time, 200ci six. He drove it everywhere he went at valve bounce in top gear.

The thing was loaded to the gunwhales with tools, filters, oil every manner of bit for keeping large Japanese earth moving machines on the go.

One afternoon he was valve bouncing his way along somwhere west of Cobar when a rather large bull camel wandered onto the road in front and stopped for a leak.

Fred climbed onto the brake peddle and wiped all the speed he could before the inevitable collision of Falcon and Camel. To this day he won't say how fast he was going or what speed he and the camel met.

Sufficient to say the Falcon ute broke in half just behind the cab. Fred and the front half continuing down the road in a shower of sparks but still under some form of control, the back half cart wheeling along spewing tools and yellow parts everywhere!

Once the dust had settled and Fred climbed out of the front half he was none too pleased with the leaking bull camel.

He set out in search of all his tools including something to clout the camel, such was his displeasure!

The camel it was reported wandered off into the bushes without so much as a limp!

Fred's advice is keep those 1 metre Stilson's close. You never know for what purpose they will come in handy!
