Over the years I have (like many others) thrown all manner of things that I thought would be useful/necessary into my toolbag. I'm talking pure tools here - not things like tape, glues, tie wraps, spares etc. Pure tools. Is there somewhere a definitive list of what tools are needed for each major task? I want to put together a definitive tool kit which has in it all the correct tools to do a list of 'bush-repair' type tasks. I will take some generic tools too.
So for example - what tools are required for say, front wheel bearing replacement, rear wheel bearing replacement etc etc. I can then make sure I have not only the right equipment, but the right quantity and long/short throw sockets, pullers, any specialist tools (for example my Defender had a particular issue with replacing the fuel filter and a tool was recommended) - or very large sockets etc.
I can then decide which tasks I want to complete road-side, ensure not only that I have the spares but also the matching tools. I can then decide if I want to discard other tools from my toolkit
I plan to travel around the world as a single vehicle and thus cannot share tools and spares across multiple vehicles. My truck is a 100 series auto
Thoughts anyone?
