Toolset for car

[Karl Owen]

I was wondering what tools do you carry in the car. I realize a cell phone is the best tool, and the frunk cellar (or whatever you wanna call it) has some basics, including the lugnut safety socket. But I take my car on long rides and wonder if I break down in a small town, the local mechanic is not going to have a serpentine belt etc. 

So I put together a basic toolset, but want to ask for suggestions.  Thus far I have 

• spare serpentine belt and the 24mm wrench needed to put it on.
• 19 mm 3/8" socket with extender and ratchet wrench
• large adjustable wrench with smooth-surface jaws (Might replace the 24mm as it opens that wide IIRC)
• medium Knipex Cobra
• diagonal cutter
• hammer
• ratcheting screwdriver with torx and philips bits
• metric ballhead Allen wrenches
• boxcutter, mirror, picker, light, gloves, microfiber towels

Love this idea! I just took ownership of my first Porsche and this feels like my Dad’s wisdom from the days when cars broke a lot. I’d like to build out a similar kit. I don’t have any feedback until I learn a lot more as a newbie. Thanks!
