Contents of Utility Box

One of the most difficult boxes to pack is the Utility Box, consisting of tools and cleaning supplies.  I cannot take everything I own, so the idea is to take only what I will need. The problem is, I have no idea what I will need, and I have needed quite a few things over the eight trips I have done so far.  But I also need it for others who, when they look at the Defender,  assume that I am well supplied and equipped and so come looking for this or that too.

 

Here are the contents I decided on.  The box weighs 34.2 pounds.

 

  1. Iron mallet
  2. Rubber mallet (in stake bag)
  3. Assortment of open wrenches
  4. Assortment of socket wrenches
  5. Assortment of Allen wrenches

  10. Long tweezers
  11. Heavy duty adjustable pliers
  12. Assortment of C clamps
  13. Saw
  14. Wire
  15. Nylon Ties
  16. Work gloves
  17. Trowel
  18. Scotchgard
  19. WD-40
  20. PB penetrating catalyst
