As I have always been known for, if something needs to be fixed I will almost always get asked to do it. Everytime I went home or to my friends houses I was inevitably asked to fix something. So i decided to use up the spare carry case I had and build my “ultimate” go kit with all the basics I would need to fix most things.
The list of things that it needed to have was long and I didn’t have much space so I had to get creative with tools and try find some miniature versions of tools I might need:
-
Tape measure
-
Phillips #2
-
Flathead
-
Stanley knife
-
Led Torch
-
Scissors
-
Side cutters
-
Pliers
-
Metric allen keys
-
Micro precision screw driver set
-
Metric 3/8 socket set
-
Duct tape
-
Electrical tape
-
Multi meter
-
Dremel gas torch
-
Straight knife
-
Pen and pencil
-
Permanent marker
-
Plastic pry tool
-
Wheel security key
-
Spare car bulbs
-
Cable ties
-
Mini wd40
I did a rough layout of all the tools I needed before I found some way of holding them in place.
Foam cutting
The next part was extremely tedious. I found some 5-7cm medium density foam and got a long thin craft knife blade and cut out the shape of each tool. This part was hard to get right and some of the tools are a bit loose, i think I would have liked to have found some denser foam to to hold the tools better but it serves its purpose for now.
Car fitment
It actually took me a long time to realise this case would just fit in the behind the drivers seat glovebox of a 350z. It is almost perfectly made for it and now whenever I go to friends or family houses I will always have the bare essentials I need to fix any issue.
