Best tools to carry

[qbeam]

Got a questions for all of you. I managed to lose my tool kit that comes with my M8(forgot to zip up my seat and it flew out). So my question is what are you caring for tools that come in handy on the trail?

I bought my sled without one, And Made one myself, never left me stranded so far. Its just a tool bag that I used with a skiing tuning kit I kinda stuffed everything in, Looks like this: (not mine)

But I put the following items in there
Spark plug removal tool (generally find these any tool or dealer shop, the thing next to the tire pressure gauge in the pic)
Spark plug gapper
Cresent
9/16ths and 1/2 wrench and Socket
4 way screwdriver with a t-20 torx head (damn arctic cat)
2 Plugs
Zip Ties
Small Radiator Hose clamp
Flashlight

Cant really think of anything else, But hopefully that helps.

Make one out of a SCREW Driver Flat head.. Just take out your cutting wheel and make a small notch in it..

+1,000 on bailing wire/mechanics wire!
That stuff will save you butt or your buddies
more than anything!! Just remember your pliers!
Also, a good leatherman is worth it's weight in gold on the side of a Mtn.
