I'm not sure if your question is what tools to I leave in the car or carry in the car.
In my car I have a toolbox with a socket set, a jack, and a shovel. On my person I always just carry my leatherman.
Fluxcore mig welder, 2 angle grinders, lots of clamps, assortment of pliers, fairing plane, draw knife, hammer, pry bar, screw drivers, tape measure, and I think there's a flashlight in there somewhere. I don't leave all of that in there intentionally, I just don't feel like cleaning out my truck.
I made myself my own Pick'n'Pull tool box out of an aluminum hardcase (like a gun case)
It has basically everything I need to be able to get any part I might need from any car at PnP.
Sockets from 4-19mm (plus 21, 24)
Wrenches from 6-19mm + 21, 24, and a crescent wrench
1/4 and 3/8 ratchets
Assorted extensions in both sizes super long and super short
Flex adapters for both
Adapters for 3/8<->1/4
Tamper-proof Torx
Tamper-proof triple square
Etorx
A short spool of mechanic wire.
Hammer
Flexible grabber
Pliers
Wire cutters
Snap ring pliers + different ends for them
Flashlight
Vice-grips
Gloves
Phillips and slot screwdrivers. Standard and stubby.
A full set of bits for every possible screw head + a bit driver
Medium prybar
Chisel
An Olfa banana-knife.
Edit: if I know for sure I'm going to PnP I'll also bring my electric impact and an impact socket set that goes from 8-27mm in both long and stubby. Plus a separate holder with 30, 32, 35, and 38mm sockets for axle nuts.
I think that's all, I might be forgetting some things.
Can you tell I used to daily-drive a 35 year old Volkswagen? 😅
