Throw together your own!
How deep do you want to go with trailside repairs? CV shafts? Clutches etc?

Not needing too much.
Bondhus metric allen keys.
DBE or combination wrenchs in 8/10/12/14/17/19mm.
Same with sockets.

Personally I keep a set of snappy semi deep metric sockets in 3/8's on the honda with a few ratchets.
I don't carry wrenches. I have decided to go with Knipex parallel jaw wrenches, which replaces wrenches for field use.

Trying to find a fairly complete set where everything has a spot. Don’t like multiple kits or things separated because it’s too easy for us to loose or find especially at night. But everything I can find has the added bulk and weight of SAE.
I’m not too worried about the Sxs’s but s*** happens and I’ve always had nothing or everything, that’s a pita. We do go up with big groups of various rigs and sometimes run across others in need of help. Was just hoping to find a general purpose set in a solid case. I may have to do that but guess kinda seeing what others have found

What are you using to store tools in?
Been using HF set here. It’s pretty decent but half SAE.

I picked up a HF set and then pulled out what I didn't need, then put it in a FAT50 ammo can under the seat along with everything I couldn't fit in the rear door storage, so far no moisture has gotten in there(I don't drive through water deeper than 10" though)

I think that’s who makes Snap On lower line Bluepoint. Good stuff
They have us made and Taiwan stuff. The US made is as good as snap on for less money and a lifetime warranty. Even the foreign stuff is lifetime warranty and better than most. I bought the cheap version to take on rides so I'm not so sad if its lost or stolen. You dont want to be stranded with complete POS tools.

Get the knipex channel locks and flat version.

Here's all the shyt I put in a little SKB box. C7c4babc6ab03c3506c700fd71e12085B34c6be370e8d99200c126b86e0331baDc654619905283fbdf36142503dc7c3c

A tip on the williams. If the part number is 5 numbers, it is China made. If it has a mix of letters and numbers, it is usa made. The sockets and wrenches are made on the same line as Snap-On, just less finishing processes like chrome etc.
