Don’t forget zip-ties, electrical tape, gorilla tape, bailing wire and electrical wire. My tool kit is in 3 pieces. 2 soft bags and a socket set.
Yknow, jokes aside, I actually keep losing the 13mm while working on Jeeps...
Yeah the fact the mm set goes up to 24 mil. comes in very handy especially for the many lugnuts that that 24 mil has seen! I've had that set since I was 14 and I've hammered them sockets literally and with an Impact wrench for when I didn't have their specific impact sockets!Plus one for the Tekton. Their range of sizes and no skips is unmatched.
I try to piece the Jeep kit together out of individual tools...which can get really expensive buying new since individual tools are often priced about 2x what they add up to as part of a set.
but for full time Cary in my jeep I have a milwaukee socket set,the square end has came in clutch when I did my cats since it's an awkward job

The tekton socket set is awesome to say the least. But after time the plastic box everything is in is horrible, I'm scared to even stand it up vertically cause everything shift outta place but nothing a piece of foam can't fix !
I’m curious, how did a squared edge socket help you with dropping the cats?

Just paint the chrome with black paintIt’s funny, if you look at Milwaukee’s marketing material for the M12 stubby, they have it with a chrome socket in some pics
That’s where having a super long extension comes into play.Me not having a 9/16 wrench,learned my lesson,as well there's spots where I can't can't get a ratchet wrench&socket so I use the socket and a combo wrench,
I was curious about that, it seems like the squared edge would occupy a larger footprint than regular sockets.The square end Makes perfect sense to have imo,Milwaukee made a solid choice on that for sure !

I just found my self using a small extension,it's an awkward job doing the cats,helps not having an intake in the way when I changed my head it was a breeze though
One could dislike the square edge if anything it should be the same size or slightly bigger than a round socket if one were to measure its overall size....width/diameter
If anything I still got my tekton kit that's just sitting there in my garage ,in which the sockets are round !
Edit- to add another plus for the Milwauke sockets is that they don't roll out to Narnia cause they're square,don't get me wrong they can still roll but it takes more more for them to do so compared to a round socket!
The other benefit of the squares is that they can't turn so when you place them in you can make sure you place them with the size facing up which is easier for me to read than the size molded into the case.
