One of the great things about tools is that with only a few of the most common, you can fix most of the jobs that you will need to do on the spur of the moment. That means by carrying a tool box stocked with a few specific items, you will be able to take care of most problems no matter how unexpected. Carrying the toolbox around with you in your vehicle will ensure these tools are always around, even if you are enjoying a banquet put on by Daniel & Daniel
With your tool box in your car, you can fix common problems at home, at work, at social occasions, even out on the road. We're going to give you an idea of what kinds of tools you can take out of garages in houses and other places and put in your tool box so you're always prepared for any situation, just like a handy Boy Scout. You might even be the hero of the occasion if the stars align and your tools come in handy!
First of all, any good tool box needs to have two screwdrivers, one Phillips and one Robertson. It's also a good idea to have a star head screwdriver, all with standard sized heads. With these three tools by your side, you are ready to take on most jobs around the house, be they installing cabinets, taking a door off the hinges or hanging it, even putting together a piece of deck furniture.

Next, throw a few wrenches in your system. The most useful is the crescent wrench, which can be made to fit almost anything that needs to be tightened or loosened. Not only can they help you fix things, they can also help when you need just a bit more grip on a project. They can help, for instance, tighten up the hose to the faucet on the outside of your friend's home when you are over for a BBQ and things get a little leaky. A set of Allen wrenches can also help you be prepared for most situations, and they don't take up a lot of room either.
Speaking of wrenches, there are plenty of socket wrenches and sets small enough to fit into most toolboxes. These are great if you are out looking for a nice home for sale and you experience car trouble. Just whip out your toolbox and go to work with your socket wrench set and a spare set of spark plugs, and you'll be back on the road in no time.
Finally, don't forget to throw in a good hammer and some WD-40. Now, you are prepared to deal with about 80% of the problems which concern Joe citizen.
