TOP 10 ESSENTIALS IN THE OVERLANDER’S 

TOOL KIT 

by Jonathan Hanson, Overland Tech & Travel & co-owner, Overland Expo 

It’s popular among a certain segment of the overlanding community to complain 

about how complex modern vehicles are, with their computer-controlled engines, 

transmissions, and even suspensions, and plethora of electronic gadgets. These 

guys (it’s virtually all men, and mostly 40-ish plus) will regale you with stories of how 

they used to set the points gap in their Jeep’s distributor with a matchbook cover, how 

they once rebuilt the carburetor on their Series III Land Rover on the side of the road 

in Tanzania, or how they once replaced the clogged fuel filter on their Land Cruiser 

in the middle of nowhere in Mexico, with the engine running because the battery had 

died and they wouldn’t have been able to restart. (In case you’re scoffing, that last one 

is mine and it’s absolutely true.) 

So, they ask, could you do that on your new 

Wrangler or Tacoma or Frontier? 

No, you couldn’t—but that’s beside the point. 

You’ll never have to. 

Modern ignition systems require virtually 

zero maintenance, with a matchbook cover 

or otherwise. Fuel injection systems are 

astoundingly reliable, and the central computer 

has several backup systems. You’ll sell that 

truck before it needs a new fuel filter. The 

simple fact is, modern vehicles are far more 

reliable and maintenance-free than those 

legendary easy-to-work-on vehicles of yore. 

So—why this introduction to an article about 

tools? Because there are still lots of things 

that can and do go wrong on modern vehicles. 

No one has yet invented a fan or serpentine 

belt guaranteed never to break or go out of 

adjustment, a radiator hose that will never split, a 

shock absorber that will never fail, a bolt that will 

never loosen. Especially when subjected to the extra 

stress of long off-highway routes, washboard roads, 

dirt and mud, even the most reliable four-wheeldrive 

vehicle is going to require some tinkering now 

and then—not to mention essential maintenance. 

Thus a carefully curated tool kit should be 

considered mandatory equipment if you venture 

beyond the reach of AAA. 

I’ve had people protest, “But I don’t know the 

first thing about how to use tools.” Three things: 

First, it’s easy to learn basic maintenance and tool 

use through such avenues as, ahem, the Overland 

Expo; second, you might be surprised at what you’d 

accomplish if the alternative was a long walk; 

and third, even if you’re mechanically hopeless, 

someone might stop to help you, and if so it would 

be polite to have your own tools to contribute. 


42 


10/2/18 9:33 AM

So what do you need, and what is good to have? 

First, a word on quality. Some time ago I read an 

article on backcountry tool kits by a well-known 

Australian overlander, who wrote, “Your tools don’t 

have to be good, just good enough.” With all due 

respect, nonsense. Think about it. If you get out the 

tools, something has already gone wrong. Why risk 

compounding the 

situation by using 

cheap tools that 

might break and 

leave you in a real 

fix? You’ll never 

know if that “good enough” tool is good enough 

until it fails somewhere inconvenient. 

There are still lots of things that can and do go 

wrong on modern vehicles . . . especially when 

subjected to the extra stress of long off-highway 

routes, washboard roads, dirt and mud . . . 

With that said, there are components of your kit 

that should absolutely be of the highest quality, and 

others on which you can economize a bit. So what 

comprises a versatile and functional automotive tool 

kit? (Note that I won’t include electrical tools in this 

list, as I consider that an entirely separate subject.) 

1. Ratchet and socket set 

This is the vital one, what you will break out 

for many 

maintenance jobs 

and repairs on 

things attached to 

the vehicle with 

bolts and nuts— 

i.e. important things. It’s also the set most prone 

to failure if not made properly. I’ve broken more 

cheap sockets and ratchets than any other kind of 

tool. So do yourself a favor and skip the 200-piece, 

$19.95 sets from the freight importers. Sure, they

10/2/18 9:34 AM


might have a “lifetime guarantee,” but that 

won’t do you much good if something breaks 

in the bush. Trust me: Spend ’til it hurts on 

this one thing. 

So which brands? If you have unlimited funds 

by all means go for Snap-on or Mac (or, as 

I’ve done, look for them them used on eBay). 

Both brands are superb. Otherwise, look at 

Facom (“fahcomb”), Proxxon, Snap-on’s 

“bargain” brand Williams, or Bahco (at right). 

Alternatively, the sets from DeWalt and 

GearWrench look very good. Craftsman used 

to be a top recommendation, but I’m just 

not sure of them any more. Finally, if you’re 

really on a budget, the Lowe’s and Home 

Depot’s “house brands” Husky and Kobalt 

are not bad. But see my exhortation above. 

Automotive ratchet and socket sets come 

in three common sizes: 1/4-inch, 3/8thsinch, 

and 1/2 inch. The numbers refer to the 

diameter of the square anvil on the ratchet on 

which the sockets fit. The bigger the ratchet, 

the bigger sockets it will take and the heavier 

work can be done with it. A 1/4-inch set will 

span a range of sockets from about 4mm up 

to 13mm (or inch equivalents); a 3/8ths set 

from 10mm up to 19mm or so, and a 1/2- 

inch set from about 13mm all the way up 

to 32 or 34mm. You can carry all three, but 

an alternative is to carry just a 1/4 and 1/2 

set, which will span every fastener on your 

vehicle. 

Look for a kit that features a 72- or 80-tooth 

ratchet. The finer teeth mean you don’t have 

to turn the handle as far in tight places to 

engage the next tooth. (You can determine the 

tooth count by simply rotating the ratchet 360 

degrees and counting the clicks.) I also like 

a push-button release for the sockets. And I 

much prefer a lever for the directional control 

rather than a palm wheel, although that’s 

personal preference. 

The Facom SPD200 1/2-inch kit includes 

sockets from 10mm to 32mm. Add a breaker 

bar to this and you’ll be able to tackle major 

repairs. 

This Bahco S87+7 set includes both 1/4 and 

1/2-inch ratchets, and sockets from 4mm 

all the way to 34mm, plus deep sockets and 

combination wrenches. 

A very complete Proxxon 23280 1/4- 

inch ratchet and socket set, including a 

comprehensive selection of bits. 



10/2/18 9:34 AM

A word on handle material: Some ratchets come 

with a rubber-covered handle, others with plain 

polished steel. The rubber offers a nice grip and 

won’t scratch paint if you slip while using it; 

however, it also collects grime and is difficult to 

clean in the field. Another personal choice, but I 

prefer the plain steel. 

If your 1/4-inch or 3/8ths-inch socket set does not 

include deep sockets, buy a separate selection from 

about 8mm up to 14mm. I’ve rarely encountered 

bolts or nuts larger than that that required a deep 

socket. 

Years ago Snap-on invented a feature they called 

Flank Drive, by slightly rounding the corners on 

the inside of sockets so they bear on the flat of the 

nut or bolt rather than the angle, thus reducing the 

chance of rounding off. Once the patent expired, 

everyone copied it, so you can expect to find this 

feature on any good socket. Note, too, that sockets 

come in either six or 12 point. A 12-point socket 

is faster to place over a fastener as you don’t have 

to twist it as far; however, six-point sockets are 

slightly stronger, so I use those in the field and 

accept the trade-off. 

For your 1/2-inch socket set you’ll want a breaker 

bar—an extra long handle, usually without a 

ratchet mechanism, used for freeing (or tightening) 

large fasteners such as those on suspension parts, 

transmissions, etc. An 18-inch-long bar is sufficient 

for almost any fastener. I splurged for my kit and 

bought an 18-inch Snap-on SX80A flex-head 

ratchet. It has a fine 80-tooth mechanism yet is 

strong enough to handle any job I can tackle. It was 

worth every penny of its $180. 

2. Wrenches 

Wrenches are the companion tools to sockets—they 

both apply to nuts or bolts, and very frequently 

you’ll be using them in tandem. Unlike ratchets 

and sockets, however, I don’t ever recall breaking a 

wrench that wasn’t pot metal, so you can economize 

here—although keep in mind that the better the 

wrench, the tighter the tolerances will be and the 

better fit over the fastener. 

Snap-on’s superb SX80A flex-head ratchet, 

Swiss-watch smooth yet immensely strong. 

Your socket set should include deep 

sockets from about 8mm to 14mm. 

Combination wrenches, with a box and 

an open end, are the most versatile for 

field use. 


45 


10/2/18 9:34 AM


You can save money and weight by buying 

wrenches with a different size opening 

on each end. However, I much prefer 

combination wrenches that have one open 

end and one box end, both the same size. 

Sometimes a fastener will be easier to 

remove with an open end, other times a 

box end, so it’s worth the weight and cost 

to have both available. Along those lines, 

ratcheting wrenches can be convenient 

in certain situations; however, the heads 

are much fatter than a non-ratcheting 

wrench and frequently will not fit between 

a fastener and a nearby obstruction. Stick 

with the non-ratcheting kind for a field kit. 

And look for the “Flank Drive” rounded 

teeth on the box end. 

Your wrench set should include sizes from 

6mm or 7mm up to at least 19mm (or 1/4 

to 3/4 inch). It’s not a bad idea to go up 

to 24mm. Beyond that wrenches start to 

get very heavy and expensive, so unless 

you know of a particular fastener on your 

vehicle that takes a certain size and can’t 

be undone with a socket, you can skip the 

huge ones. 

3. Pliers 

Life would be much more elegant if all 

fasteners could be removed with a socket or 

wrench, but sometimes the crude approach 

is necessary. I keep a half dozen pliers in 

my tool roll. Most used are the slip-joint 

type in small and large size. The standard 

blue-handled Channel-Locks are excellent; 

even better are the versions from Knipex. 

The German company uses harder steel so 

their pliers are thinner and better able to fit 

into tight spaces. Needle-nosed pliers are 

useful for a zillion jobs; interestingly my 

favorite model is the NP-6 from the bicycle 

tool company Park Tools. They have a 

spring opener which makes them easier to 

use one-handed. I also keep a pair of Vise- 

Grip pliers for those times when a really 

crude approach is necessary. Finally, not 

GEARING UP 

Flank Drive wrench on left, standard drive 

on right. Most high-quality wrenches and 

sockets will incorporate some close copy of 

Flank Drive. 

The Channel-Lock pliers, 

right, are excellent. The Knipex 

pliers, left, are even better. 



10/2/18 9:34 AM

quite pliers, but I keep a few hemostats in the same 

pouch or tray. Very handy. 

4. Screwdrivers 

While absolutely vital for a tool kit, screwdrivers 

are another area where handing over the Amex 

card to a Snap-on rep is not really necessary. Buy a 

comprehensive set of name-brand screwdrivers and 

you’ll be fine. Get the fattest handles you can find. 

As with ratchets, rubber handles provide a better 

grip but are harder to keep clean—your choice. 

Some screwdrivers come with a hex fitting under 

the handle so you can apply a wrench for more 

torque; if so you can be pretty sure the maker has 

faith in the quality of the tip. Make sure you get a 

couple of stubbies—they’re awkward to use but 

sometimes nothing else will fit. I also have one 

ratcheting screwdriver with replaceable tips stored 

in the handle; this is nice for jobs that require 

removing and replacing lots of screws. And to avoid 

using the big standard screwdriver for tasks it was 

not designed for, I have a short Enderes pry bar. 

5. Hex bits and Torx 

There are lots of odd fittings on vehicles these days 

(not to mention other equipment you’ll have along). 

Hex bits and Torx are especially common. Include 

a good-sized selection of these, either to fit your 

replaceable-bit screwdriver or, better, your ratchet. 

6. Torque wrench 

If you have to do any major repairs on the vehicle, 

with the help of a factory manual, you’ll run into 

fasteners that need to be tightened to a specific 

torque rating. Such repairs might be beyond your 

skills; however, even wheel nuts should properly 

be tightened to factory specs. The spring torque 

wrenches with a needle and scale are notoriously 

unreliable and hard to read; better is a wrench that 

clicks when the right reading is reached. If you 

have the funds, the electronic wrenches are superbly 

accurate and alert you with a beep when you’ve 

reached the correct setting. 

7. Hammer 

There are essentially two kinds: those you use 

when you don’t want to damage something, and 

Standard and phillips-head screwdrivers. 

Ratcheting model with bits in handle on right. 

Torx and hex bits are essential for many 

modern fasteners. 

A click-adjustable (or digital) torque 

wrench is superior to a beam-type torque 

wrench. 


47 


10/2/18 9:34 AM


those you use when you do want to damage 

something—or at least reshape it. I used to 

carry a no-bounce hammer for the former 

and a small sledge for the latter; now I carry 

a single model, a Park Tool 21-ounce, which 

has a steel face on one side and a plastic face 

on the other. 

8. To cut, file, punch 

You should carry a hack saw with several 

spare blades, and a set of tin snips. Also a 

combination half-round and flat file, plus 

a round file. I have a selection of punches 

from tiny to stout, and a brass drift, which 

is irreplaceable when you need to pound 

something such as a wheel bearing race 

in or out without scoring the surrounding 

steel. A good compact scraper for cleaning 

off gasket residue will make that job much 

easier than doing it with a pocket knife. And 

for lighting your work area under the vehicle 

or after dark, a magnetic LED lamp with a 

swiveling head will make your life much 

easier. 

9. One-use but indispensible 

For some repairs you’ll find parts held in 

place by snap rings or circlips. These are 

fiendishly difficult to remove with anything 

but a proper pair of circlip pliers. And 

circlips can be either internal or external—so 

you might need to either squeeze or spread 

them—and small or large. I have a Snapon 

kit that comprises 12 different snap-ring 

pliers, but that’s a bit overkill for a field kit. 

On the other hand I’ve had bad luck with the 

pliers that use replaceable tips in different 

configurations. Knipex to the rescue: They 

make a set of four pliers that come in a small 

roll. 

Toyota ups the difficulty ante on some of 

their hub and transmission circlips: there 

are no holes to accept circlip pliers. Graham 

Jackson and I recently had to service the 

hubs on our Land Cruiser in the Australian 

Left to right: Brass drift, 

large and small steel punches, 

combination and round files, 

Park Tools 21-ounce combo 

hammer, hacksaw. 

This Knipex circlip plier set 

should handle most internal 

and external snap rings. 



10/2/18 9:34 AM

Outback—approximately 500 miles 

from the nearest tool store—and 

Graham filed the tips of a pair of 

needle-nosed pliers to do the job. 

Adequate, but only just. Knipex to 

the rescue again: They make a plier 

with flat scored tips to grip the ends 

of the ring. I’ll be adding those to 

the kit. 

I have a tool designed to pry off 

radiator and heater hoses that have 

welded themselves on, and it is a 

Godsend for that use; however, its 

sharp point is also good for cleaning 

out grooves in other parts. 

Many vehicles require factory 

special tools to do certain 

procedures. It’s worth talking to a 

mechanic to find out if any are worth 

ordering for your specific model. 

10. OBD-II Scanner 

Lastly, of course, a tool well 

worth considering for any modern 

vehicle is an OBD-II scanner, and 

the appropriate app to diagnose 

your vehicle’s fault codes. I have a 

Bluetooth-enabled wireless Foseal 

that plugs in to the OBD port and 

send signals to my iPhone. It cost 

less than $20. 

Now, when that pesky “Check 

Engine” light comes on, I can 

determine if I have a serious 

problem. 

Or if it’s something I can fix with a 

matchbook cover. 

The author and Graham Jackson 

used nearly every tool in this list 

fixing problems on their vehicles — 

nearly all caused by shoddy work 

by urban mechanics—during a 

recent 2000-mile remote Australian 

outback crossing: leaking radiator, 

loose hub requiring adjustment, 

broken ignition wire, missing 

exhaust-mounting bolts . . .

Simon and Lisa Thomas have ridden their way into a life that most 

of us can only imagine. Since setting out on their journey in 2003 

the duo has amassed an insane 450,000 miles on their ride, through 

80 countries on six continents. Along the way they’ve traversed 27 

deserts, survived a broken neck in the Amazon Jungle, cheated death 

and are still travelling today. It’s easy to say that Lisa and Simon 

helped define what we now call “Adventure Riding.” As explorers, 

writers, photographers and public speakers this pair inspire adventure.

ARE YOU 

READY TO 

Change 

Your World? 

The Change Your World Fund 

was established to honor the 

memory of Alistair Farland, 

who believed in the power of 

exploration to change things. 

He wanted to inspire his 

generation to explore their 

world and impact their society. 

He believed that “pushing 

yourself out of your comfort 

zone is one of the keys to life.” 

Just a few months into his 

overland motorcycle journey 

exploring the Americas he 

made dozens of friends and 

inspired many to think beyond 

themselves and make a 

difference. 

In collaboration with Overland 

Expo and the Farland family, 

we have launched the Change 

Your World Fund to support 

Millennials like Alistair whose 

overland journeys and projects 

go beyond themselves and 

seek out life’s opportunities 

and challenges. 

A travel grant fund in 

memory of

GO FARTHER 

STAY LONGER 

BRING MORE 

For those who want to go farther, stay longer and bring 

more, the Dometic CFX series is the answer. Powerful and 

ultra-efficient, the CFX cooling system can refrigerate 

and freeze down to -7° F with an electrical draw similar to 

charging a mobile phone. 

Visit booth C-12 to see the nine CFX models ranging from 

26.5 to 94.6 liters in single and dual zone models, which 

offer two compartments for simultaneous refrigerating 

and freezing.
