They are quite handy for small fasteners. Next day I work, I need to bring the 1/4 ratchet, short extension and 10mm deep socket to fix some things on our sample carts. Had one today that the handle is super loose on, and I had nothing to tighten it up with....Yeah, just today I discovered I don't have any 1/4" drive deep sockets in standard measure. And I have room in the tool chest.

Knowing the tow guy (I am the tow guy) is handy, if you're not too far from home. Critter has been on the hook a few too many times so far..Well I think I've some of y'all beat. I carry a cell phone and work for a guy that owns a few tow trucks and I have a friend that has a couple more. So cell phone 1/2" battery powered impact with appropriate socket for tire removal
When you finally near completely rebuilding the critter you may have lost interest in it and start all over on something else. Ain't that the way it goes?Knowing the tow guy (I am the tow guy) is handy, if you're not too far from home. Critter has been on the hook a few too many times so far..

Coming home from the transmission shop, didn't want to trust how it was running as it acted up a bit when I dropped it off for the rebuild

Hopefully the last time, for a long time.
I don't think any roadside repair tool kit could have helped with these breakdowns. The coolant bypass hose on the big block isn't a complicated repair, but I was on the way to work and even if there had been an auto parts store nearby to get some hose from, I'd have to wait until the engine cooled off enough to work on it, and that would make me hours late for work.
Could have driven the truck with no clutch the rest of the way home, but after my ordeal getting the transmission rebuilt (and it still isn't right) I wasn't going to risk causing it any damage whatsoever. It's still gotta go back for another look. Plus, needed to get it into my garage so I could fix it. No way I wanted to deal with getting it in there without a clutch.
