Poll: What to Pack In Your Toolkit?

[desmoquattro]

OK, so I bought me one of these Klim waist packs today. I'd like to include a few tools in it, and I want to crowdsource my choices! Which 3 tools would you include?

I realize that it's probably bike-specific...but the answer is interesting nonetheless. Assume you're packing for your bikes. And if you don't see your choice up there, speak up!

I try to carry a buncha stuff with me under the seat, but if I had to go totally minimalist and try to keep it to three primary tools, it'd be:

Adjustable wrench
Screwdriver --one that takes a coupla different bits, so that I could have both philips and flathead.  Like this -- http://www.harborfreight.com/7-in-1-screwdriver-set-94955.html
Allen wrench set
I'd wrap ducttape around the handles of one of the tools to use in case of an emergency.
blade fuses--two or three of each size.  They take up no space at all.
Zipties

If you allowed me four tools, I'd take vise grips.  Or just bring a leatherman along.

Modern tool kit:

1) iPhone
2) credit card

Fits in one pocket.

If I was road tripping it'd be quite different. Depending on where.

Tire plug
Multi tool
3 key Allen wrenches
Thermal radiator tape
Duct tape
Thermal blanket (got a mylar one it's the size of two condoms)
   *fuses
    *Zip ties (good idea Spidey)
JB WELD steel epoxy. ( you could make a new crank case if you needed to)

All that's a little bigger than a muffin and that's the size of my 848 boot storage.

Nothing.  Honestly, I've tried having a toolkit along and whatever I bring is always the thing I don't need.  And your toolkit is the optimists' toolkit.  The pessimists' tookit is an airline-sized bottle of Grey Goose Vodka and a revolver.

'belle is totally right, as always!!

Having a little bit of wire and some electrical tape has saved me on a few occasions. 

After reading 'belle's post I may have to include the booze in my kit.  I can think back to a few times where the wire wasn't enough and the booze may have helped.

I used to carry a loaded tool kit -- just about everything except a torque wrench -- under the seat.. and one day I realized I hadn't even opened it in 2 years and the last time I broke down, I called someone and got the bike towed.

I tossed it.

Let's be realistic here.  The only things a self-respecting Ducati owner should carry in his/her toolkit are a 'bux card, hair gel and rubbers.  Lots and lots of rubbers.  

[ducatiz]

what's rubbers?

I like how "boobies" and "adjustable crescent wrench" are tied.

Vise grips can be used as brake/clutch/shift levers.
