What's in your toolbox?

He is referring to the hand crank, which is the only original tool still with our 'A'. It is the most important one too. Mine was used almost every day during my senior year in college, as the battery was just a hard rubber case full of water!!!
 
Hand crank, screw driver, feeler guage, oiling can, wreches from 3/8- 11/16 vice grips, pipe cleaners, some bailing wire, condencer, and the most importaint tool (a pair of ladys nilon stockings) For if your water pump seizes up you can make a belt fromthe genny to the crank ( all i needed on my trip to canada). This weeks trip though the white mountains i used my hand crank; the only other tool i used was a screw driver to pick my teath after dinner haha

For flashlights I recommend Pelican brand. I have many including a few headlight versions like the 2670 that ******** my head so I can work in the dark. My favorite normal light is a model 2360. All use normal batteries and are super bright.

I also have a Pelican 7060 which was a $120 flashlight from a few years ago, rarely use it though as the cheaper 2360 is almost as bright and much smaller.

For tools, two quality adjustable wrenches, spare points, spare fuses, headlight bulbs, spare coil and of course a decent multimeter.
