Great video, Jeff. I started my main road pack with a tool bag similar to that, but eventually retired th as t to my in house tool bag. I have two apachee cases in our newest truck that we travel out of town in that has a 30' tow strap, jumper cables, jump pack and rechargeable air pump, the other has my 1/2" impact n extra battery, tire repair kit and a set of shackles. Got the Quinn all in one socket/ratchet set,all under the back seat. I also had 2 tool rolls, one small and one large that got moved to a storage box in the back under the bed cover. Now I've moved it into a 3 drawer Ridged packout. I really like this set up, drawers on ball bearing slides. So far its been pretty wayer proof, haven't found any water inside so far. Makes organization super easy and with great access.
There's a lot I don't have, but I will be adding them. I didn't see an air compressor. But I have my Noco and air compressor in a separate padded case. Great tips Jeff. Thank you
I too keep a respectably loaded tool bag in my vehicles. If it's something I can fix roadside and avoid paying a wrecker service bill, that's a no brainer. Solid content, thanks for sharing.
That's quite a random assortment of stuff. In our vehicles we have a pretty standard loadout. 3x2x2 tote with extra fluids (oil, brake, power steering, antifreeze, etc). A 108 piece DeWalt socket set that covers a pretty good range of 1/4 and 3/8 drive, plus some allen keys and screwdrivers. a 24" 1/2 drive breaker bar from Pittsburgh, with a Titan ratchet adapter. A Michaelpro lug wrench with a built-in torque wrench. An Autowit Supercap2 jump-starter. Cans of WD-40, PB blaster, silicone lubricant, brake cleaner. A rechargeable magnetic work light from Icon. A small package of Tub-o-towels. A tire repair kit and a small air compressor that works on 12V. A small bag with straps and bungies. One last piece that's in the wife's kit that I don't need in mine, a Glock 19 because you never know who you'll come across if bad things happen on the road.
Jeff, I bet every time someone breaks down near you they thank their lucky stars it happened in your neck of the woods. Holy Moly! Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂
That is a great road pack. I carry a usa craftsmen set with me with pliers screwdrivers, hammer, lights and a knife. I also keep jumper cables and a set of carhartts and gloves in my truck my friend.
Nice road pack Jeff, I'm using a 18" DeWalt rolling tool bag, it stays in my service lorry, it's easy to move around if I need to take it out or bring it home
Building a set for my camper, so compactness and weight are key...i opted for a pass through socket set, gives me all the flexibility of low profile and deep well in one compact set.
Nice road pack. I carry a Home Despot plastic box with various pliers, screwdrivers, hammer, metric and SAE combination wrenches in tool rolls and metric/SAE 1/4" sockets. I have a metric/SAE Great Neck 3/8 socket set in a flat case that I also carry.
That's gotta be one of the most complete and most packed tool bags just for your truck bags I've seen in a while. I just carry a set of jumper cables, jumper-pack and a small proto box I got from my dad years ago. I think it's made for a Proto 1/2" socket set but it's perfect for all the tools I bring. It's 21" red tool box that is not pretty but holds more than what is bare necessities. Lots of old Craftsman tools and a few add-ons from HF, like lights and wrenches. Do have a tow strap and 48" crowbar from when I used to drive over the road also but overall mainly my backup tools that survived that fire a few years ago
I always take a obd scanner with me if I’m traveling very far from home as well as a coil and plug for my f150 or expedition. I remember when my dad carried a fuel pump and a new belt in his 77 Chevy truck. Be prepared! Thanks!
Just when you think you have everything you need, you always end up needing that 1 special tool you forgot! Such is the life of a mobile mechanic lol. Have you thought about maybe looking into or reviewing some of the wheeled modular storage options out there? With all those tools it sure would make it a lot easier to move around. Even some of the cheaper options that go on sale for $99 are pretty good, Craftsman's VersaStack being my favorite cheap box set. I got myself one of the more premium offerings on sale however, Flex's Stack Pack. Holy crap what a difference they make in mobility and organization, I'm a big fan!
I really like keeping the Quinn collapsing breaker bar from Harbor Freight in my SUV with a deepwell socket that fits my trailer's lugnuts. I should really get a 3/8" adaptor so it works with the rest of my travel sockets.
I have a similar bag as a general fix all possible kit. Additional items I keep: fasteners (screws and such) a rag, level, super glue, jb weld, vise grips, Adjustable wrenches, gloves, wire stripers and wire, electrical plug, switch and plates. Just a couple of things. Might want to better utilize the pockets for better organization to help find things faster. Great stuff.
I was installing a starlink on a Mercedes sprinter van that was set up for the Ford dealers mobile repair mechanic. He had that thing loaded up with that k tool international. I was checking it out seem to be pretty good quality.
Hello again, Jeff Thank you for another Great Video 👍 If my name is picked I would like either The Matco Ratchet or the K-tools screwdrivers. Put me In Coach 😊 Again thank you.
I’ve had some luck with using canvas military olive drab bags for tools. Finally upgraded to bi-Mart low profile “ tactical ammo can” 10-5/16x6-5/16x4-1/2H it’s nice behind the driver seat in my pickup. 15$
Hey buddy I was wondering can you tell me where I can go look at Capri tools at a store somewhere I want to buy some but I'd like to check them out physically in my hand and stuff like that so thanks Jesse take care thanks for another great video
In the pst I always had a pretty extensive road pack, but nowadays I find myself slipping bc my tundra is pretty damn reliable (knock on wood). I have an old USA craftsman kit, a few different types of pliers, jump pack, and some of my ironworking tools.
How does that stuff not end up all o Ed the place after turning a corner or hitting a pot hole? Thanks for showing this kit,I asked a while ago, your box looks like mine but my bag is all dirty ripped and well used.
I was self-employed part-time doing a mobile auto repair service for about four years. I first had a '98 and then an '08 Chrysler Town and Country. It was crammed full of tools yet only had a fraction of the tools I own. That was by far the hardest part was storing, packing, and retrieving my tools. I first had a 46" Husky Mobile Workbench in the back of the van, but it weighed way too much. I found it much better to just have a large series of small tool bags and plastic tool boxes on the floor, as well as my socket sets in their cases, tons of wrench sets in wrench rolls, etc. At the end of every job, it looked like a tornado hit the van---tools everywhere. I was never very good about organizing my stuff at the end of a job. It was a constant struggle to keep things where I could find them. I wish I had a box truck with storage on either side and a walking path down the middle. I'm convinced that's the only way to do it. It's impossible to just store everything on the floor of a minivan without everything becoming horribly disorganized, heavy tools falling onto fragile tools and breaking them, etc. And the more obvious solution, just having a large tool chest in the van, like I said I tried that and that was even worse----it was too heavy and took up too much space when considering the amount it was able to store. Also, shortly after putting it in my van, the lock system failed on it, so I had to use cargo bars from floor to ceiling to keep the drawers from swinging open. I always found that I spent the vast majority of my time for each job walking back and forth to the van to get another tool, another, and another. Also, for even the most basic job, I'd have to use just about every tool I owned. I don't know why repair jobs are like that, but they are. You see these videos where it shows needing maybe less than a dozen tools to do the job, but in reality you need nearly a hundred. Despite all of that, I did get a lot of satisfaction out of doing the job because I know I was more honest than anyone out there and never performed unecessary services or overstated what was wrong with the customers' vehicle. I had an excellent reputation. I gave it up because it just didn't work with being the primary caregiver to my son---picking him up from school, etc.

No duct tape , Red Green would be disappointed. Thanks for sharing with us .
There is a roll of duct tape
There's a lot I don't have, but I will be adding them. I didn't see an air compressor. But I have my Noco and air compressor in a separate padded case. Great tips Jeff. Thank you
Great video, Jeff! Thanks for sharing 🍻
Those tool bags make it hard to keep organized 👍😎👍
I too keep a respectably loaded tool bag in my vehicles. If it's something I can fix roadside and avoid paying a wrecker service bill, that's a no brainer.

Congratulations Jeff, that is the first Road Pack Tour on RUclips!!!
Road Pack.....? That's a road Block!!! Holy Sh**!
OMG Jeff, you could have a Road Pack Tour here!
thanks for the gander
You could fill a tool cart with all that. What a great kit
Nice set!
Your very generous Jeff
Building a set for my camper, so compactness and weight are key...i opted for a pass through socket set, gives me all the flexibility of low profile and deep well in one compact set.
I always carry a breaker bar in my TJ Jeep but I live in the desert. 😂Thanks for the info it's been a great help .
I thought my tool bag was stuffed. Can't wait for the mid length socket review, been wanting to get some.

That’s what is nice about having a pickup plenty of room for tools and accessories.
Nice road pack
Jeff, I got some Bifocal Safety Glasses from Walmart for $6.50 each. That are great.

Amazing how many times a set of vicegrips got me out of a pinch
Nice video

Same question!
Nice pack, should cover 95% of cases, unless Murphy strikes in the other 5% 😊
Now that's a road pack. 😊
Yea thats in my truck!! no matter what you have,thier always something you forget,lol!!
Thanks, Jeff! Has Guinness Book of World Records been there yet? I alerted them that this may be the best road pack yet!
Road pack or junk yard pack is very good thing to have
I’m looking forward to the video on mid length sockets. I’m in the market for a chrome 3/8 set, but it seems like there are limited options
Hah! I suspect you could find some better organization to this! But that's a road warrior kit for sure
In the pst I always had a pretty extensive road pack, but nowadays I find myself slipping bc my tundra is pretty damn reliable (knock on wood). I have an old USA craftsman kit, a few different types of pliers, jump pack, and some of my ironworking tools.
nice choices hope you dont need anything in a hury lol great job bud
I didn't think it weighed 40lbs until you took tools out nonstop, I believe it now, haha.
That Matco ratchet is meant to be mine
Safety wire pliers and wire.
I don't really need them but I'm thinking that I pick up that screwdriver set
You got a lot of tools in your emergency tool pack
Most of us older farts have that big Craftsman beater screwdriver. Who hasn't been stabbed by one of those test lights?
Milwaukee pack out with wheels would be your best friend also some knipex pliers and a knife
💪
Jeff, I would welcome anyone of those prizes. What is it with tools? I just love 'em.
Did the last winner not take the match ratchet? Also between my tool bag a a few blow mold socket sets I am able to complete 3 outta 4 service calls
How does that stuff not end up all o Ed the place after turning a corner or hitting a pot hole? Thanks for showing this kit,I asked a while ago, your box looks like mine but my bag is all dirty ripped and well used.
you forgot the kitchen sink. 😂.
Like the tool reviews, but just watching now to see if I win.
Maybe you should do a few travel tool box/bag. That thing looks pretty pregnant
You can do road side work with what you have . Mine is more simple
I ain’t picky, I’ll take all the prizes !!😊
You forgot your engine puller and alignment rack.
Where's beer opener?
What spark plug socket set is that?
nothing like being prepaired
there is no way i could deal with that setup in my truck.

Still love to win that ratchet

Nice road pack
