Whats in your toolbox?

[branch]

Hey guys, I was just going through my toolbox today and started to think of all the times I have needed somthing and not had it in the box. But I also carry stuff that I have never used, so the question is what do you carry in your toolbox to keep you rolling?

Just to see if I can put together a comprehensive tool kit to take to every job safe in the knowledge I've got it coverd! Also what type of box do you use and any reason for that choice.

Cheers guys this will either be an interesting thred or a waste of time either way thanks for your thoughts!

Like the chocolate for those jobs when you just run out of energy right at the end!!

If I'm going to be honest loads of tools that I never use while out on the job!

 

But, you never know:laugh1:

 

 

Handy stuff is a 1/2 inch socket set going from 8mm-24mm(fits bolts on chipper blades) same size in spanners, screwdrivers various sizes handy to remove garden gates for better access etc, nice big crow bar plaenty of nuts and bolts, a big shifting spanner and pipe wrench, some mole grips, cable ties,duct tape and the all important tuning screwdriver.

 

I also have loads of other crap but since it all stays in the truck all the time its not a hassle to have it there.

 

I also have a separate tool box that contains plenty of chainsaw parts and spare chains,files etc.
