Hi everyone,
Back end of this year im heading over the pond to do a road trip around California, working my way over to Colorado, just me and the girlfriend. We're hiring an RV from cruise america and im trying to put a toolkit together to take with me. I normally just take my trusty leatherman wave with me, but with it being a more hands on holiday im looking for a more complete kit. I've done this once before and did have a few problems with the mains electrics in the RV as well as a few other little bits that needed some attention, so its something i certainly want to take. I dont need anything major obviously as it comes with breakdown cover, but if its something i can sort and be on our way, i'd rather do that than throw away 1 to 2 days of my holiday waiting for breakdown or a replacement RV. This is what i have so far, bearing in mind it will be a lot of driving and a lot of camping, which is why i've chucked my sheath knife in as i will be making a fire each night. Remember im also flying with this, so i need it to be as light as possible, im flying with BA so have a good luggage allowance, but i still want to keep it to a minimum.
Wera tool check plus - Im thinking of taking all of the duplicate bits out of this that i already have in the screwdriver set, just to save some more weight. I took the screwdriver handle out of it as i can use the one in the screwdriver pouch. Im taking the screwdriver set because i know if i only take the driver and bits in the tool check plus set, i will come across screws recessed into deep holes than it wont fit into.
Wera screwdriver set
Tyre pressure gauge
Mini magnetic LED worklight
Leatherman wave
Knipex cobra 150mm
Knipex pliers wrench 150mm
TOPS BOB sheath knife
All in a small Veto pro pack.
Im thinking of adding a small pair of snips, then i think i can cover the basics. That lot comes in at just over 2kg which im happy with. Any input on what i should be adding or taking out?
