Essential tools for the trunk?

Good list but you should never need a breaker bar for 993 wheel nuts.

True but depends who last fitted them. I once needed a 6ft gas pipe, wedged on an axle stand with a rapid drop from a trolley jack to rease the nuts on my BMW when NTS had been at it.
Now I fit and remove the wheels myself.

Bagged myself one of these Teng kits, I have Teng 1/2", 3/8", 1/4" sets already in my tools collection, love this kit and the compact size, great recommendation

Cute as the little Teng kit is, if I am going on an overseas jaunt my kit is based around the larger (the case is about 1'x5") but somewhat more useful Bahco S330 (originally recommended to me by NXI20). Currently under £30 from Amazon makes it a steal. Add a strip of 3/8" sockets with any additional hex or torx heads that your car might call for and an adjustable spanner and it is most of what you could need. I also carry a longish breaker bar with a socket for the wheels and a 1/2 to 3/8 adaptor too.
If in the GT3 I also carry a torque multiplier as you cannot assume that any emergency tyre supplier will have suitable kit for centre locks, but I am drifting off topic for the thread now...

Great recommendation. I've been looking for something to replace my old tool roll and considered the Teng T1420 as mentioned earlier in the thread, however I wanted something with a little more capability.
Bahco S330 arrived today for less than £30 and the quality and compactness is perfect.
Thanks. :thumb:
