What's in your trunk?

I remember a friend asking me what I kept in my, "Oh $hit kit." That friendly box of tools you carry around for those "just in case" moments.

Here's a pic of mine

I have an 8ft bed to fill which I manage to do most days.

Today was:
The spreader
80 pounds of grass seed
20 pounds of fertilizer
2 steel rakes
3 spade shovels
1 pair of gloves

BTW Keystone is horrible, at least get Busch!

Too much stuff! (that's what I get for going between MD and VA too often...)

Tool box...full socket set (SAE, metric, 6 point, 12 point, some deep), 20 something screwdrivers, combination wrenches, breaker bar, ratchets + socket extensions, torque wrench, nut drivers. Various fluids...power service (which just seems to be for filling filters nowadays), motor oil, WD-40 or PB blaster, grease. Some odds and ends...fire extinguisher, roll of paper towels, 100 pack of nitrile gloves, funnel, a couple more things that I can't remember. Most of it is in a couple of plastic crates. At least it's somewhat organized

Oof. Can't wait to be living in one location!
