Please add to my list. I'm trying to whittle down what I should carry with me.

I'll start out with suggesting 3/4 ratchet with 3/4 to 1/2 , 1/2 to 3/8, and 3/8 to 1/4 adapters. As you can always go smaller, but not necessarily bigger. Of course, phillips screwdriver, small regular prying screwdriver, and 10 mm wrench (battery and most things). Jumper cables. Tire plug kit. Needle nose pliers.

Sockets (six sided is best): 10mm (suggest 3/8 drive, but 1/4 is OK)

Great idea! I also keep 2- or 4-gauge jumper cables, and a 1/2" drive breaker bar to loosen the lug nuts if needed. The jumper cables encircle the spare, and I think the breaker bar is in that same compartment wrapped in a towel.

If they are torqued as speced 76lb-ft, you would not need a breaker bar.

I would have thought the same thing, Salim, but I always have to get it out to loosen things. I always tighten them to spec. On my daughter's RX, I think corrosion plays a part. On mine, who knows? Maybe I'm just weak enough I need the additional leverage! Seriously, though, I have fought so many corroded lug nuts over the past several decades, I like to cover my bases just in case.

Pb blaster, anti-seize , brake cleaner are definitely helpful with the fasteners
