Same here man, I have a tool bag with 8,10,12, 14,17 MM sockets. Lots of screwdrivers, hammer, clamps, coupler, tape, etc. If I forget it in my garage before I leave the house in my se-r I feel naked.

That's like a 10mm, 12mm, 14mm and 17mm, and a phillips screwdriver. You can pretty well remove the entire engine with just that

It's hard to think of a job that can't be done with these tools, maybe axles, ball joints........not much else!

Same here.
A 10mm wrench, a vicegrip and a 4 way screwdriver that can double as a 8mm socket.

Trackday means I bring nearly every hand tool I have. Daily driving I don't bring anything. My car is reliable.
