If it wasn't for my high tech tool they never would have gotten into that trailer. :2thumbs:

A claw hammer can also be handy for pounding in tent stakes.

With a little imagination, its potential is limitless! :shocked:

Did you ever add the blow torch on your list??? Never know when you will need one
:yikes:

Blow torch is staying off the list.

Learned to weld way back when... know just enough to confidently leave it to professionals.

The hammer came in handy on the road trip though. The lock on the trailer coupler got so jammed with road grime, had to give it a few good whacks before it would open up.

The only tools i carry is the kit that came with the Spyder and a tire repair kit.
The three times when i broke down on the side of the road, The only tool that would fix it so i could get going was my trailer and a 80 mile trip to the shop.

:agree: There's nothing more dangerous than a person who THINKS they know what they're doing. :yikes:

Everybody has their own style of ryding and what they bring along. Just got back from a long road trip and glad I had my tools along.

- Cheater wrench and vice grips to tighten down the D-rings on the trailer chains. Finger tight just didn't do the job.
- Zip-ties and snips to secure the wire harness to the trailer hitch. (The trailer got unhitched more than I would have thought.)
- Ratchet screwdriver kit was used to keep tightening the screw holding down the mirror. (Kept coming loose on the dirt roads.) Also used it on Hubbies bike. One of the mounting brackets had come loose and thats why his bag fell off. His mirrors also rattled loose. It took all different sizes and types of heads, but I had them all.
- Vice-grips, flat screwdriver and safety wire used to help a bicyclist fix his bike.
- BEST phone number came in very handy.
- And the hammer to convince the locks to open.

Don't think I'll need the entire tool list for shorter trips, but on a long one, where only you and your tools are going to get you back on the road, glad I had too many than not the right one.
