So I was there yesterday and realized no matter how much I prep, there's always that one damn tool I forget. Curious if anyone has a favorite tools to bring list. I will list mine:

-a phillips and a flathead
-wire cutters, vise grips and needle nose pliers
-a hose pick and small 6" prybar
-4lb sledge
-basic metric socket set and wratchet
-metric ratchet wrenches
-a pocket knife and pocket screwdriver

It also depends on why you're there, these tools were for small stuff. I was grabbing random interior parts for my girlfriend's explorer. What would you guys add to the essentials list?
