Wut?
The only thing I can think of for 8mm are the nuts on the steering cable ends.

costco has that tool kit every once in a while for like $35I usually grab this:
I know I could throw out about half the contents, but the plastic case makes it easy to grab at once as opposed to picking out individual tools I might need from my big tool box. The ratchets are actually decent quality, much better than the sh%t craftsman sells lately. And the whole kit is cheap enough (google says $50 picked up at Fry's, $90 at Drugstore.com but use bing.com cash back for a better deal).
This is for my local lake trips, for anything further we pack lots more electrical stuff as well as replacement parts.

Not a maintenance item you need to take care of on the beach, though.
Who needs a 701? Ride a 650!
