I always find a big hammer comes in handy for most jobs!

A very big hammer...... a good quality jack......axle stands... I also use a hardened steel bar for extra leverage (5 ft long).

A kettle, some coffee, a mug, some sugar, tobacco and papers, a lighter, a packet of plasters (bumper pack) for skinned knuckles.

And my kids always place a swear box close by, they reckon I keep them in choccie bars for a year.
