My everyday carry is a multi tool, flash light, a knife, a basic Kobalt mechanics set I got on clearance for $35 that fits in the storage under the back seat that gives me sockets, screwdrivers, torx and allen keys and some other basic tools, an extension cord, ratchet straps and 12v/120v husky inflator. When I travel I have a "go bag" that has a cordless impact, flood light, a beefier inflator, a jack and some other minor miscellaneous stuff I can't remember at the moment.

Element E50 Fire Extinguisher Stick 40050, 50 second discharge NO MAINTENANCE https://a.co/d/az6mhGN

Seemed like a good alternative to normal extinguishers but 1 star reviews say otherwise:

I have a basic tool kit from Harbor Freight, a hitch receiver tool, some ratchet straps, a jumper pack and a breaker bar with some larger sockets and extensions.

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.

I've been working on Electronics and doing Ham & CB and an occasional stereo for 50 years and I have never seen a fuse that looks like that! I've seen resostors, and capacitors that are double-ganged, but never a fuse. This is the equivalent of hooking two circuits to a single circuit breaker in your home wiring. Obviously it was done to same money and space in the fuse panel.

In 12 years with my old truck, the only tools used roadside were the tire plug kit, air pump, Leatherman, OBD reader, multi-meter, and jumper cables.

For the new truck, I kept the Viair pump and jumper cables, but upgraded to a Nealy plug kit. I added a NOCO GB40 jump box.

I am bolstering my hand tools for odd situations. There are loads of times where I got into something unexpected with friends/family and was disappointed with their tools. My plan was to repurpose my 30-ish year old Craftsman set, but the case was about a half inch too large. So, I got creative with some organizing foam this past week. Had room left over to add a few things and still have some unused space.

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

I bought a Ares 70022 1/2 inch drive non-marring 21mm deep socket for my F-150 truck. No need for an extension with this socket and at $12 not a big expense to buy and keep inside the truck. My previous truck had larger lugs and so I carried a 22mm socket of the same type.

So digging up this old thread because I found myself stuck on the side of the road in nowhere NM with a flat tire.

Already ordered a tire repair kit but wanted to see what type of air compressors you all carried? I was looking at some 120v models since I have the 7.2kw PPOB. Would prefer something more than just a tire inflator, so I could use compressed air to use in the garage, blow out the truck or fill kids toys.
