Tools On Board


Recommended Posts

I know you can interpret that a lot of different ways.  I don't mean your brain or any other body part, however, as noted in my "What Extra Parts do you Carry in your Mooney" thread, here is the tool thread:

What tools do you carry on board your Mooney for field repair/tinkering if needed?

Duct Tape

WD-40

Multi tip screwdriver

Multi tool (leatherman)

Flashlight(s)

Socket wrench

Hammer?

Tire pressure gauge?

Etc . . . . Please list away

 

In the future there will also be a "survival thread" which of course will be different for climates, as well as a flight bag accessible and flight bag not as accessible thread.  So that's five "bags."  Extra equipment, Tools, flight bags (accessible and not accessible), and survival.   Obviously for efficienty, your leatherman/multi tool would be used for your flight bag, survivial bag, and tool bag.  However, still list any tool individually for the purpose of this list.  You can also combine some of the separate "bags" into just one or two "bags."

Again, today we are concentrating on tools.  

Take care,

If I am just by myself or otherwise light, I carry my full toolbox which has just about everything you can imagine in it.  Gives me 80 or so pounds in the baggage compartment so I can pick up a knot or two from aft CG.

At minimum I always carry spark plug socket, socket wrench, screwdriver with assorted bits, safety wire pliers, channel locks, set of wrenches in a nice roll up bag, jumper cables, volt meter, and a rubber mallet.  This all just sits in a bag in the tool box so I either pull it out and take just it, or drop the whole tool box in.

In my flight kit that sits in the back seat is a leatherman, radio wrench, and one of those digital hanging scales for weighing bags.
