What tools do you keep in your truck?

[Davexxxx]

A fuse kit is a good idea. Do you have a complete set of spare fuses for the truck? I need to get some of the 3 blade micro fuses like these. I don't need the whole kit but just a couple of each size in a zip lock bag in the glove box.

Well crap. I did buy what I thought was an amply comprehensive fuse kit but it doesn't have anything like that.

They look like this, you can use a test light or volt meter to check them while there plugged in. Center is always power the sides are the load.

Certainly something a fuse company came up with. There's what, 14 different automotive fuses in use these days? Need some of that unified fuse EU legislation to get them in line -- can't believe it took them to get apple to finally adopt USB-C on the iphone.
Anyone care to defend the USB2.0 lightning connector? ???

I have just about everything needed to do anything.
- 1/4", 3/8, 1/2", 3/4" sockets shallow/deep and metric and standard
- milwaukee 1/2" impact, 1/4" impact, 3/8 rachet, Sawzall, grinder, grease gun
- wrenches from 1/4" -1 5/16" and 6mm- 30 something
- tons of screwdrivers, bit sets, and pliers
- various other tools

I service and repair all of our heavy equipment on the jobsites so need just about anything.

This has been awesome, thanks y’all!

Now just need to parse through what I need, what I think I need, and the finger condoms, and I think I should be good. ? haha

I understand the 21mm and breaker bar, I carry the same because factory lug tools suck. Why the 3 inch extension? ?

Dunno if anyone's answered your question yet or not. - Extension is to keep the breaker bar from scuffin' the rims...

I use an impact socket so maybe that is why clearance has never been an issue. ?

Socket set, open end wrenches, tire pressure gauge, utility knife, Philips and flat head screwdrivers, 8 ratchet straps, 2 - 5000 lbs tow straps, husky 120 v tire inflator, work gloves, rope, 12’x24’ tarp rags, couple contractor trash bags, 2 undercover swing cases and soft tonneau cover.

If I need to change a tire I need the breaker bar most of the time. After tightening the lug nuts I can wait until I get home to check the torque. I have to leave my truck at the dealers many times during the year (3 times in April and again tomorrow) to have recalls and service work and other repairs done and do not like leaving stuff in the truck that could get legs.

I was interested in that tool kit till I saw it was more than $350!

THIS

is the only tool that LIVES in my truck. It is fantastic. I use it on EVERYTHING. I used it to break loose the axle nut on my motorcycles which was 106 ft-lbs.

Often, I have a recovery strap, a kinetic rope, and shackles. Had to snatch an old farmer that got his dually stuck in a ditch two Christmases ago.

On road trips I bring along an impact with a variety of sockets, tire inflator, and an assortment of ratchet straps.

Tow rope and hitch. That's it.
