No zip ties?

No zip ties?

if you can't fix it with zip ties, you better call AAA

No zip ties?

not normally around town no, but now that you mentioned it I did just toss a bag of about a dozen in the cubby with the jack and other crap that fits in there

Carry them in EVERY vehicle I'm in:

But, on road trips, I'll toss in a Craftsman 230-piece mechanic's tool set for good measure.

I have a tool kit I move from car to car depending on what I drive. It has a metric and SAE socket set, various open and combination wrenches, pliers, screw drivers and so on.I can do 90% of the repairs on my cars with what's in that box. besides that, each vehicle has a pair of fencing pliers a 6 cell flashlight under the drivers seat. In the rear or trunk I carry a new blanket in the wrapper for emergencies, a pair of jumper cables (4ga or thicker), a 4 way lug wrench with black tape around the shaft on the arm that fits that vehicles lug nuts and usually a high visibility rain coat. In my Escalade but not my Impala I carry a hook that will fit in the class III receiver and a lneght of chain for road recoveries.

Sometimes, depending on where I'm going, I'll carry my stainless steel 45LC revolver in the console. Good stopping power and low enough kick I can hit close to bulls eyes from 50 feet one handed. I'm too close to Illinois to carry it in the car or SUV all the time.

Does anyone still carry tools in your truck for quick repair? or is too old school? Let's see who and what, could be a whole set or something you put (pieced) together by yourself.

The only time I carry anything is when I drive over 5hrs, the items I carry 2 jack stands, small craftman tool set, channel locks, crecent wrench, set of open box wrenches several screw drivers and a cordless drill . Luckly I have never used any of them.

Cool tool for the garage or shop. Don't know about keeping it in my vehicle since it's needing an air source.

I have an inflator gun with digital gauge I use with my air compressor in my garage. It makes inflating easy. Just attach to tire valve and it shows you tire pressure. Squeeze trigger to inflate and when you release trigger it shows the tire pressure again.

Yes you are correct, most people would find this more beneficial in their garages rather than in the truck. On the other hand I do have onboard air compressor in my truck and use this very often while off-roading, Deflating and inflating tires few times a day. Was using inflator gun simulator to the one you have post picture of for a long time, but found this to be a major pain on my butt, many times just drove with low air, it's been eating up my tires fast, Hope the RapidAir inflator will help.

Ironically, that's what I try to do sometimes in my office when I can't get a signal and don't want to walk 10 feet to the door where I can get one. I hold the phone up like I'm Thor trying to pull down a lightning bolt.

To be honest, I do carry an impact and tool set with me. Along with way too much other stuff to help if shit goes awry. Always be prepared for when your wife kicks you out and you suddenly own a mobile home.

You just decide to stop in the woods and rebuild it?

Broken down side of the road in Cape May NJ, lower hose clamp broke sprayed all over the starter and shorted it out and megafuse. Also found the radiator split on the same side.

I didnt have a step with me so I had to remove the bumper to use the support bar as a step.

When I tow my race trailer its got enough tools and parts to tear down and rebuild both an r6 and r1 engine.
