Not exactly basic, but a wonderful thing to have on board and operating
at all times- the Boehler Digifant DigiTool. Gives direct readouts on
various engine parameters while you are driving down the highway.
Available from listmember Darryl Boehler.

Also, carry a basic set of metric sockets, open end and box end wrenches.
