basic tools

[magister]

sorry, tried searching but i could not seem to get the answers i need.

anyway, what basic tools do i need to have in the trunk of my car? at home? i know may tool set na kasama yung auto pero tama na ba yun? i'd like to be able to bring tools that a mechanic would need in case the car breaks down for some reason.

also, i would have wanted to get wrenches (socket/open ended) pero what sizes are most useful/used? sayang naman ang set kung hindi naman magagamit lahat.

thanks in advance!

Socket and wrenches (box and open) FROM 8MM to 14MM, pair of pliers (long and short), wire cutter, one adjustable wrench and screw driver (flat and hex).
Like this craftsman tools.

eto ang importante, sizes 10, 12, 14, 17, mapa open, socket, o box wrench.

a set of screwdrivers, small ones and big ones, philips at flat.

jack, kung kasya, alligator jack ka na, kahit 2 tons lang

spark plug wrench

cutter o blade

yan lang ang naiisip ko. syempre wag kalimutan ang tyre rings

thrown in a roll of duct tape or similar high strength tape like strapping tape. You never know when you need to tape up something.

Jumper cables and tow cable as well.

Early warning devices like those reflective triangles or a couple (collapsible) road cones.

Aside from the suggestion
1. Electric tape
2. Basic fuse for you car
3. bulbs for your car

Check out the basic sizes you use for your vehicle.
Learned in my advie na need ko ng size 22 in order to remove the spare tire.
