Both deep and shallow metric 3/8" drive sockets with drivers, extensions and
such; metric open/box combo wrench set, metric allen.hex wrench set, vise
grip pliers, needle nose pliers, wire cutter/crimper/stripper pliers, a few
screwdrivers, a real Crescent (or any good brand) adjustable wrench (8"),
Channel-Lock  pliers (10"), multi-meter, flashlight, and (of course) a
Bentley.


That set of tools will cover probably 95% of roadside-repairable problems.
