I got a really long flat head screw driver that is fairly thick, I use it all the time on hose clamps. I plug wrench is nice to have, mine is all weird looking so I can find it easy in the tool box. Some other important tools are extra hardware for pieces that your loose or break, especially with a scupper you can loose parts and never see them again. I havent heard wd40 yet. Oh and vise grips, I use those alot.

the problem with getting a telescoping magnet like was mentioned before is that 99% of everything in the engine compartment is made of stainless steel or aluminum. neither work with magnets. I guess I would help if you dropped a socket or something, but dont eat anything buttery before you work and you should be alright.

YES!!!! i have 2 of these...one in the garage, one in the beach toolbox.....2 bucks at harbor freght
I just bought this exact same one at Griots Garage for $20. :bs2:
the new ones suck. the ratchets that I have are like 20 - 30 years old and work like swiss watches.
i think all the new stuff is made of pot metal in china:frown:

Yes thats fine on stand ups but couches pay the bills around here so I can buy,build and ride stand ups,if you drop tools in a couch you better have a telescoping magnet or a large tool account.

Maybe for tools... bolts, washers, ect should be SS, ie not magnetic.
Hope you have thin hands.
I got a cheap set from Walmart. Thinner than my Craftsman and shorter in length. Typically these arent good qualities but in a confined space, they are nice.
