I love tools and DIY projects. So I have always wanted to have a complete set of hand tools and this trip seemed to be a nice occasion to start buying some tools. So I prepared a tool kit comprising of the following:

•9 hex keys with ball point ends (Size 1.5 mm to 10 mm) - Chinese make

•12 double open ended spanners (Size 6x7 upto 30x32) - JK tools

•10 ring spanners, shallow type (Size 6x7 to 24x27) - JK tools

•1 Nose Plier - Nagpal brand

•1 Combination Plier - Taparia

•1 Wirestripper & cutter - JP Jetron

•1 Carpenter's Pincer (8") - JK tools

•1 Adjustable wrench (Size AWP 12" 300mm) - JK tools

•1 Hammer - unknown brand

•1 screw driver set from Taparia

•1 Long screw driver - JK tools

•20 m of thick nylon rope

•1 punch (the punch and hammer was to be used in case there was some emergency and the glasses had to be broken)

•1 LED torch and spare AA cells - Eveready

•1 Car Lamp - car battery powered

•Tubeless tyre puncture repair kit

•Tyre pressure gauge - Accutire

•Tyre pump - car battery operated - Durabuilt

•A pair of scissors

•A cutting knife

•A cigaratte lighter (I do not smoke, but thought it would be a good thing to have in the kit)

•Insulation tape

•Duct/Packing tape

I still have plans to buy more tools down the line.
