Wrenches, ratchets, and other essential tools for off roading repairs

[Emanuel]

Thought it might be useful to get some advice regarding essential tools for field repairs in the desert.

Any recommendations for wrench (combination, adjustable, socket wrenches) and ratchet (1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, and 1/2 inch drive sets) sets that are good quality and not too expensive? I drive a 2013 Pajero and plan to get wrenches and ratchets in metric but I guess there is an argument to also get some in imperial?

Also planning to buy some Philips and flathead screwdrivers, and pliers.

Good topic @Emanuel

To save some space i mostly use adjustable wrenches, apart from a few popular sizes which i have as single pieces:

10 - 12 - 13 - 17 - 19

Socket wrenches: i only have a small socket set that goes up to 13, Anything larger than that i use the adjustable spanners.

At home i have various tools and bigger socket sets (1/2") but never used in the during offroading or field repairs.

I can recommend the YATO brand which they sell in Speedex. Good stuff and not expensive at all. They have many ready-made kits.
