Automotive Tool Kit to Carry for Emergency Repairs - How to Select the Tools
Learn why you need it and my methodology to develop an Emergency Automotive Tool Kit to carry on your truck. I have years of experience as an Army Mechanic and developing Special Maintenance Tools for Military Vehicles, which I use to select a tool kit for my Plow Truck. You can use my methods to select your individual Tool Kit to meet all of your Off-road, Emergency, or just General Use, needs! The Tool Kit of your own design will be tailored to your own skill level / comfort level. Many repairs require only a few tools, you can do them, IF you have the tools and parts on-hand.
