That would have been good enough for us back in the day.

Good way to teach the youngest about the value of being mechanically inclined.

For the first 10 years of my driving career i always had: 1 gallon of water, 1 roll of duct tape, 1 package of zip ties, wire cutters/crimpers with butt connectors, 2 spare towels, 2 screw drivers, and a pair of pliers, a 10mm 12mm 14mm box end wrench with me in the car at all times.
