Stash pack for a 2011 Ford Escape

[Holt]

So Last year the Mrs and I decided to purchase a new 2011 Ford Escape. I'm no auto mechanic but I can fix the little things. This is since this is brand new nothing has broke on it so I haven't had a chance to get my hands dirty. But just in case something happens on the road. What are some tools you would generally want as a stash pack. I have a little compartment in the back this will go in. From my visual overview. All metric, lots of torx. I'm going to start putting this together slowly in a small Klein size zipper bag. No room for big fixes just the small stuff. My thoughts currently are

Metric 1/4 drive set. Shallow or deep.
Also thinking of SAE in case I need it for non vehicle issue. (pending room)
1/4 ratchet.
Torx Bit set
Flash Light, Headlamp style in case I'm changing a tire in the dark by myself.
Seriously considering a 18 breaker for lug nuts.
PH1
PH2
Wera Chiseldriver for double use as a prybar.
Needle nose

Telescoping Magnet
Most important. Beer and wine bottle opener.

Edit:
Also thinking some **** splices with crimpers. (yes/no)
7 inch Water pump pliers

Any else someone can suggest that has a or has worked on a ford escape.

Thanks in advance.

a few short lengths of say 16 guage wire would be good too, especially since your thinking about crimpers. This way your able to splice some wire in to replace damage.

A short roll of tie wire like this(http://www.garvinindustries.com/Hanging-and-Support/Ceiling-T-Bar-Grid/Ceiling-Grid-Tie-Wire/TW340 is also indispensible for side of the road repairs.

if your stuck on the side of the road it will most likely be a flat or something thats not a small or easy fix eps if your not a machanic. saying that a multimeter is a good tool to have with you.

AAA or the local towing company number.

by the time you are undrivable and stranded on the side of the road you will have probably accumulated a triple bank of tools. My 03 has needed a alternator and cats (cats covered by the emissions law and were free) alternator by me PITA other than the usual mobil one oil changeand WAIT... I would however keep a set of plate and taillight bulbs stashed and possibly a coil pack and the necessary tools to change them,proly a craftsman 100 piece or something and a led headlamp

Fuses and a couple of relays might come in handy

+1 most new cars are pretty reliable and I don't think I would worry about it. credit card, cell phone, and maybe some rubber gloves and a flash light on the rare chance you need to put the spare on in a jam to get to a tire store or hotel if its late

jumper cables

they dont have to be the best cables, but being stranded on a sunday morning, small town, middle of nowhere, and you'll be glad you have em.
