Just double checking myself here. I purchased a Mini-Mate camper for my Spyder last year. I want a mini toolbox that is left in the Mini-Mate (for changing tires, possible bearing replacements, specific pliers and sockets, etc.) with the basics for the trailer, even regarding wire snips and crimps and a few fasteners, zip ties, etc.

In my opinion, you need a few tools beside the Spyder kit when pulling a trailer. That trailer is more apt to need a bit of work vs the Spyder. If the Spyder breaks down, there’s AAA. The trailer might need a bit here and there depending on the mileage and also for camping.

I am 3D printing everything, so it’s perfectly organized and fits into a custom blow molded box. I figured I’d also throw some Spyder tools in there just in case. I’ve taken my Spyder apart and stripped her down to nothing, done all the maintenance and repairs along with installing all the accessories, so I know pretty much everything I might ever need to carry. I realize it is only 2 little bits, but again I am trying to keep this compact enough.

I can’t think of any, but are there any 3mm hex or T15’s on the Spyders? I know there are 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm hex’s. I know there are T25, T27, and T30's, but can’t think of any T20 or T15’s. I do have a mini bit set if I needed one on the fly that could fit into my magnetic screwdriver or 1/4 drive socket, but I’ll be honest, that darn tool is last resort. I hate the magnet bit inserts.

Any T20, T15, or 3mm Hex’s on the Spyder?

Cannot answer for sure, as I no longer have my 2020 Ryker,
but these were my glove box tool kit.
Metric Allen L wrenches were 3-8 mm

Very rare for me to utilize a tool for my ride but I did find use for what I carried to assist others.

See post 3, for example:

Typical tools for other bikes in post 11. With tubeless tires, a tire pump, and Dynaplug kit, I do not carry wheel removal tools. Exception for Ryker was a large axle nut socket, only for long trips.

T20, T25 & T30 are the only ones that I have needed on mine so far.

I have found over many years that I have made more repairs to other peoples rides than my own. I have a couple of multi tools for torx and metric. They pretty much cover it. My kit is complete enough that , last year I even was able to assist a campground owner in a repair of his zero turn mower.

Yes, there are T-15 and 3 MM Allens. Whether there are any on your vehicle, I don't know that.

T-15 is a fairly common size for self-tapping screws. You can buy whole packs of 15ea or 20ea in T-15 for screw guns and drivers.

The Allens go all the way down and further. The smaller ones are not common on much except holding electrinic circuit boards or computer components.

They are so cheap and so small, why not carry them?
