Mind you have to agree with @DavidG58 its handy to have a @Terry as well, have to say though John @Jaws what the hell do you need fix in your van with all that stuff, it must be falling to bits!

Makita tool kit with all the bits and pieces in a compact carry case.

Small toolbox for other people to use when I need help and this little custom-made bad boy which is very handy for smashing pegs into the ground then removing them later!

Do you make to order ?! Looks like a useful tool.

Unfortunately not Anthea, it was given to me many years ago by a friend who made it when he worked at the shipyards in Sunderland!

Got to agree with @TheCaller when you faced with climbing up a 100' high dockside crane carrying your tools, adjustables are the spanners of choice. Very easy to decry adjustable users when you work in a nice workshop with your tools 6' away.

In my early mechanicing days, it was always said that the only proper use for an adjustable spanner was as a hammer and then only as a tool to beat the person caught using it.

However, I quickly discovered that it was worth spending money on the best adjustable spanner I could afford. When the broken down bit of kit was at the far end of a 40 acre field & you could only get to the top end with the van, you quickly learned to be very selective in the tools you were going to carry all the way across a wet & muddy ploughed field.

A hammer, decent screwdriver, 1/2" open-ended/ring combo (fits 50% of all nuts on M-F kit, or did back then) and an adjustable spanner were always the starting point. Plus a can of what we always knew by a very rude name, but I can't now remember the proper name for. It was a highly effective releasing agent in a can, rather than an arenosol - far, far more effective than WD40.

I have some old mashed and watered down boggies that is better than WD 40 !!

Bloody stuff should be banned across the world.. Hate it with a passion !!
