Oh! I have never heard them referred to as "Dykes" before.
You mean like diagonal cutters or end cutters?
Either way, that's really interesting.
On topic however, I agree with ColoradoJeepXJ. Sort of. All of my tools are stored in the back of my XJ.
Of course, the one in which all of my tools are stored doesn't actually
run at the moment, but I don't even have a shed. Just a long driveway.
The contents are similar in essence to XJtrailrider. Although I traded some of the more complex spares for my EMT gear. I just don't ride as hard as some
, so I shouldn't need it.
You would be shocked at how often you can "get by" with electrical tape, Duct tape, a
good multitool, a
good knife and a multimeter. Fuses and relays should be in every car you won, so why list them here? I also keep one of those multibit screwdrivers and a decent socket set around. Ooh, go to a hiking store and get one of those L.E.D. lights that clip onto your baseball hat!
Save yourself a headache and throw those "Multipurpose" wirestripper/crimper thing in the trash. Get a good wire stripper, and a good crimper. Two seperate tools. Keep them with your sidecutters and crimp connectors/fuses/relays.
Hmm, you will eventually need a set of torx bits. I found out the hard way that most sets don't come with the right bit for the seatbelts. It's a 37 if I recall correctly. If you can, grab gearwrenches. You won't swear quite as much.
I never go anywhere without my deadblow hammer. It's just so fun to have.
Never forget the thumbwrench! Or vice-grips.
