You're going to need to have some tire changing tools in this kit at the very least. A good lug wrench and jack are key. Your tool kit should contain these items: socket wrenches, ratcheting tools, a wrench for torque and one that is adjustable, and both a Phillips and a flat head screwdriver as well. Do not waste money by getting cheap tools. Invest in quality tools that will not break as you perform repairs on your vehicle. | |
