tool box essentials

[RentedMule]

Thought I would start a post about what tools you find necessary to keep in your tool box or tool kit. Always looking for clever ideas

I keep a pair of fencing pliers and heavy gloves in my everyday back and forth to work truck for fencing emergencies.

I carry the Gerber Multi-pliers everywhere I go. And a pair of Vise Grips with the cutter jaws are in every tool box.

 

[Smoothy]

I always have some zip ties in all my boxes and a pile on the dash of my truck. I've temp patched fence to hold a drive shaft together.

In all my tractor tool boxes I carry fence plires channel locks adjustable wrench hammer straight and Philips screw driver.

These are really handy all-purpose pliers for larger stuff

I threw in a box knife, thinking I'd never use it much but I actually do. BTW we keep "tool boxes" in each Polaris that are actually water proof ammo boxes. No leaks, ever, and they're sturdy.

Box knife was added a week ago after having the hardest time with our baler. Had to run into town to get one but does an awesome job cutting net wrap

Never realized so many folks had fencing problems. I have a small took kit with a few combination wrenches in it, a crescent wrench, small hammer, pliers, flat and phillips head screwdriver and a box cutter. Probably got a few odd screws, bolts and nails in it as well.

Well I tote a multi tool on my hip and a pocket knife and 1/4 " 5/16" and 3/8- 7/16 combo" wrench's every day along with a bic lighter.

I keep a few tools on everything I own, best one is my cellphone though. I can call my wife and tell her what to bring me.

A set of wrenches. A socket set. Flat and Phillips screw drivers of diffrent sizes and lengths. Channel locks big and little. My little set is probably your normal size set. A small 14" pipe wrench. Wd40 and PB blaster. Rags. Big zip ties. Then there's an assortment of junk tools that have no other home. I have used them all more than once. Don't need a knife cause I carry a pocket knife always. It's amazing to me how many men have stopped doing that.

I probably don't open mine once a week but would rather leave my pants at home than be without my pocket knife.
