Is the tool roll washable , after you get a load of old wheel bearing grease on it? 😁
You mean street cred ? Why the hell whould i wash it ? People might think i am a wannabe :) ahahahah .

But to answer the question i cannot see it being hurt from a round in the washer .

Something i have that I can recommend is a plastic dipped 10mm for battery nut removal. I keep one in my defender incase I need to disconnect the battery

Since i had the tools out for the oil change this seems like the best time to post them . So i tried to build a robust kit that will potentially be able to cover 90% of things i will need to do to my Gren . Any time i wrench on my gren i make it a point to use this kit . In case i need something that is not in the kit /or does not work as i want then i will add it / remove it as time goes on . This is just the tool kit no it does not contain any spares. It will only be carried on trips ( not on a daily basis , since the Gren is my daily driver ) .
The kit it is in a kind of a tool roll . Laid out looks like this :

Each pocket has a theme to it so i know what i expect to find in there in a glimpse .
First pocket has pliers , squeeze things and cutting things (ignore the marker its just in case i need to draw a mustache on someone) :

Second pocket is the persuader along with all the poky bits and we cannot forget the thumb detecting nut f*cker (adjustable wrench) :

Third pocket we have sockets . I tried to find all the types on the Gren and here is what i came up with . External torx , torx , normal( hex 6 point deep and shallow ) . I know the seats are held in with tamper proof torx but I decided not to include them , they can work on normal torx also but the hole in the middle makes them more susceptible to failure so they are not included .

Pocket 4 is everything screw related plus a tire valve stem tool ( one in the car at all times with extra valve stems , if you know you know )
View attachment 7819712
Last pocket is the miscellaneous: allen keys , test light , epoxy paste , random hose clamps and a pair of strippers.

On the reverse side is a full set of combination spanners .

All packed up looks like this :

Hope it gives someone ideas . Show us your tool kit and what you have in it !!!
Nice kit.

As the PB Swiss look relatively new, can I ask where did you source since the old UK importer shut down sometime last year I think. I've been looking for some more of them but amazon and ebay ones are way over priced (and they were expensive in the beginning!)

Tks

yes only quality tools was a good place to buy all sort of tools sad day when they closed not sure why though, or what happened to their stock .
Most of these might look new but i had them for a few years , same as you had difficulty finding them in the uk . So what i did i found the german dealer and ordered from them essentially half the catalogue and asked them to ship everything to me . They couldn’t say no :) anything i am missing here and there i try and get off ebay or any time i travel to eu i visit a few took shops . Let me see if i can find the dealers name i used .

Excellent. Tks Tinki 👍

Perhaps if @emax @bemax etc ever come to UK then a UK group buy (plus tax for their courier service) could materialise!!

CTBS, or (compulsive tool buying syndrome), common among mechanics, L/R owners, and classic car enthusiasts
I knew there was a diagnosis somewhere in there !!! Ahhaha!! But yes this is exactly what i have . Now that i know i can continue buying tools with out guilt . Its not me it’s because of my syndrome ;)
