  • b5 s4 specific tool box

    Been meaning to do this for a while, keep a car specific toolkit in the car for longer roadtrips so that if i had to i could do 90% of the stuff needed on the car.
    I currently lug around my big 277pc craftsman set, but its heavy, a pain, and i use less than 50% of whats in it as its metric and SAE. Trying to cut down on the size, while still retaining full functionality.

    Will consist of sockets, ratchets, ratcheting wrenches, a few deep sockets, couple extensions, allen sockets, screw drivers, etc.

    I should know this because I just had the car apart.
    Socket sizes i need:

    8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19....any others i'm missing?

    Allen is 4,5,6,8....any others?


    Other stuff im forgetting?.....aside from zap straps and a AMA membership

        trip squares and then i'd say torx sockets t20-50
        most are like t30,35,45 but then my stupid tranny crap had a t50 but 45 worked

        17mm flex head ratchet wrenches are a godsend.. well any of those are

          I thought I was paranoid having a multi-tool, switch-blade, zip ties and duct tape in the car..

              The more I read this the more it sounds like I plan on kidnapping someone vs. a roadside car repair. :S

                    An extra coilpack or two wouldn't hurt and maybe a spare tbb depending on what you're using now.

                      Sounds like you are going to have to switch to Avants to carry all that stuff.
