What tools do you carry?

On a typical wheeling day what tools do you carry and why?

I just picked up a small 19 pc metric socket set at Lowe's (father's day sale ftw) and a small 19 inch tool box for carrying tools with me when I'm out on the trail.

So what do you carry for when

Impact grade socket set (1/2 IN)
Normal Socket set (1/4 IN)
Breaker Bar
Channel Locks
Peanut butter
Vice grips
Gloves(3 different types)
Snips
Different pliers

If all else fails I always have duct tape and lots of 550 Cord.

Would probably carry a lot more if it's more than just a day trip.

Usually carry a pipe to ad to the bar as well, for those rusty nuts and bolts that haven't been wrenched on before.

I carry about 90% of this stuff and a set of pickle forks. I've always had either OBA or Co2 so I also carry an impact and a die grinder/cutoff tool. The die grinder came in real handy on John Bull one afternoon as well as the pickle forks.
Surprisingly, all the tools fit in a fairly small bag. The fluids. zip ties, bungee's, and nut's and bolts as well as other misc. crap are in a plastic tub that is ready whenever I am. I don't carry enough fluids to change everything, but I do carry coolant, oil, gear oil, and tranny fluid.
I usually have a bunch of lunch meat, a loaf of bread, and a bottle of musta*d to keep me alive. <--- Why can't we say mustar_d???

I know this thread is about tools, but I think it's always a good idea to remember a first aid kit, and strap, and extra clothing as you never know what or when "it" can happen.
Finally the most important... sh*t paper Because

and a 3ft. 1/2" breaker bar and a 12" 3/8" breaker bar and some other random tools for a just in case scenario.

What are y'all's strategies for not having your tools act like a giant maraca when you hit bumps?

I had a HD 3-drawer tool box in the back, and the tools just bang around when I go over bumps, especially speed bumps unless I crawl over them at about 2mph. And I do have rubber liners in the drawers.

Mine are in a heavy duty bag that I got from some Makita crap many years ago and is pretty well stuffed so I really don't hear em. My tools are far from organized in the bag, but I can fit a ton of them in there. I also have a flat tool case full of basic sockets and wrenches that I got from Sams Club that stays in the car at all times.
