Non-Porsche tool kit for travel?

[David 23]

I need a tool kit for my canyon carver. I don't need a $500 Porsche kit, I just need a range of metric tools in a case or roll that would function when needed. Most of the inexpensive auto kits on Amazon are half SAE. Anyone have a link to an inexpensive all metric kit that has combo wrenches, sockets, a wrench etc. that is compact?

Check out Tekton tools. I'm continually impressed with them at their price point. Mostly made in Taiwan, some are made in USA.

Kinda the equivalent of 1990s made in USA Craftsman.

My car came without its tool kit.

I bought an inexpensive tool roll on Amazon and filled it with Harbor Freight tools (metric combo box wrench set, multi-blade screwdriver, pliers, spark plug wrench w/ extensions, some sockets and a ratchet, etc). Emergency use only, right?

I bought a “bucket boss” tool roll (amazon) and filled it with some box-end wrenches, a HF driver and sockets, a screw driver set (from HF) and then a couple things that are kinda P-car specific, like the fan-tool holder. I also grabbed a breaker bar, and put a lug-nut sized socket in the mix. My wife made a little bag to hold the whole mess inside out of a pair of extra-huge Levi’s from Salvation Army so that the *stuff* that I want to have in there as ICE stays in one place.

My car (several owners deep I believe) “lost” it’s spare tire and the tool kit the car came with. So: rather than breaking off the time, energy and such to get a correct tool roll, I spent less than 100 with this set up. I replaced the metric wrench set in this kit with a HF one.



I could take a picture of the current set up if you’d like, but I think that you get the idea....

I got a Stahlwille Christmas calendar wrench set, a Klein adjustable length screw driver and zipper bag and threw in a old set of Craftsman 3/8 sockets, extension & ratchet. I added the lug & fan wrench with the fan tool. Beyond some basics like electrical wire, zip ties, tape and the other odds and spare fuses, etc that you might expect to need. They easily tuck in front of the spare tire without moving or rattling.

Just buy the sizes you need (HINT: DIN) and a tool roll separately.

Hazet & Stahwille give you that Germanic schadenfreude

or Ko-ken has top quality tools for decent prices

or Tecton has decent quality tools that seem to be from Taiwan

Seems the key is to put together a targeted set like Robey5 did and make sure you have the tools (and supplies) needed to accomplish basic roadside repairs that are unique to the 911 (and therefore unique to the 911's tool kit) -- specifically, make sure you have a proper Lug Wrench (and jack), the 911-specific fan wrench tool (and a spare fan belt), a wrench/socket that can fit the fan nut and (perhaps) a spark plug wrench that would work well with the 911's plugs -- add in a few strategically chosen screwdrivers/metric sockets/wrenches, etc. and you'd be able to tackle foreseeable problems.

1/4 & 3/8 socket set. Made sure I had a spark plug socket.
Set of combination wrenches. Made sure I had one to fit fan pulley.
Set of screwdrivers.
Allen key set.
Multimeter.
Box of electrical connectors and a crimper.
Channel lock pliers.
Slip joint pliers.
lineman pliers
Box cutter
Zip ties
Lug wrench
Tire slime
Jack
Bag to put it in

For parts
Fan belt
Spark plug
Points
Pieces of wire.
Lug nut
A few fan shims
