Bixxjs, how big of a kit do you have or use regularly in your work? Are you brand specific or just a wonderful mixed kit?

I am curious if you fit that idea that most of the world works out of a hand carry toolbox.

I sure do but the reserve stocks at home need a 2nd larger one.

The wrenches are Snap-on,Cornwell,Stanley and Britool.
I'm lucky enough to have a very understanding wife who
indulges my passion for wrenches or spanners
as we call them in the United Kingdom!
Most of the wrenches are from complete
sets that I've bought over the years.
The Stanley wrench was from a set I bought really
cheaply as I needed a 9/16 and 5/8 to
butcher.Then my old MAC tools guy sold me
a set of SAE Mac chromes with identical part numbers!

I have so many duplicate sae wrenches that my uncle yelled at me one time. "Everything is metric these days! Get rid of all this extra ****!"

There's an Armstrong and Craftsman in there too.
I work on a lot of old cars so SAE handtools are part of my arsenal.
At work its pretty much all metric but you'd be surprised at how many hydraulic fittings
are SAE,some of my old Whitworth tools are still needed!

I am in Mexico and find some Whit along with some old Brit names like Eagle Brand. I have half of a set of DOE AF in those.
A spattering of others have popped up as singles also. Usually car/bike kit or machine related.

I specialize in the antique and useless for fun including smithy made wrenches when found.
Work is boring Asain metrics, utility **** at best.
