An epoxy that bonds in water (for patching a radiator) and a couple popsicle sticks and a tiny piece of cardboard to mix it, a couple files, a can of Ballistol, blue oil resistant thread locker, a stick tube of copper anti-seize, a test light, wire strippers, a pair of long reach pliers, mini bolt cutters, small hacksaw, alligator clamps for the multimeter, upgrade the hex wrenches to ones with ball ends, locking pliers, hook and pick set, an extendable magnet and mirror, get a long pry bar probably 3 ft long and tuck it somewhere. For hose clamps, get the long roll and the individual clamps because you can make hose clamps from a few inches long to a few feet long. A roll of stainless wire you can bend is another alternative that when tied around something and then twisted can secure things, even keep bolts from coming loose or an exhaust that is about to fall off and even be used to make hose clamps. Just things to consider.
If you could share a closeup picture or similar at the sockets you are carrying specific for the Defender it would be fantastic 🙏 I always bring too much, and it would be great to he able to narrow it down to the absolutely essential like Gag did for you in Japan 🙂
I’d recommend a “Lestherman” I carry one on my belt or in my backpack; being a multi tool they are a compromise but it’s surprising how often they get the job done.
Like the compact size toolbag. Stuff I carry on top: soldering iron, torque wrench, strap wrench for oil filter or catch can and a pair of riveting pliers.
What i always have in my cars (and i don’t know the English words for it right, sorry for that): a seal that stays elastic. A kneading seal. Over here in Europe it is Bostik and it can fix lose things, stops some parts rattling, keep things in place, and of course can seal where a tape can’t fit perfectly. And in contrast to things like silicone its easy removable without any marks. Worth checking it out.
I would add a torque wrench. I don’t trust myself and prefer to rely on a torque wrench to tighten my wheel nuts properly. It also helps a lot to detect a wheel nut that starts to get loose. That’s the difference between loosing a wheel nut on the trail or not. A video about your spare parts would be a good following episode.
Just watched this again, really excellent small kit with the most important items. I think you need to add a file, mini hack saw and side cutters to give stubborn items a bit of motivation, shorten a bolt or something etc., cheers!
one of my absolute favourite bits of kit, is a set of 'wobble socket' extension bars - so so useful for getting the socket/ratchet into places you wouldn't normally be able to!
KNIPEX Pliers Wrenches! I have several sizes in all of my tool kits. I carry a small one on motor cycle trips or additional a bigger one in the camper. In my opinion, way more universal than adjustable wrenches and they always grab snug.
Amazing kit Leigh. Never imagined you could get away with only one spanner! I carry too much stuff. I love the 3/8 set. I think I told you that. Japan opened my eyes for that. We in Europe are brought up with 1/2 sockets. But I'm willing to down shift. Love the King Tony stuff as well.
Get a different wheel brace or carry a length of pipe that will fit over the bottom section, those sliding type one’s have a habit of breaking especially if someone has used a ratchet gun on your wheel nuts. Love your videos.
Never found those extending levers much good , you would struggle to shift a big nut with it . It’s the angle on the bar , means you won’t be able to get your big hammer on it . Swap it for a straight bar with half inch drive , also a 10 and 13mm ratchet spanner to go with the 17 👍
Do you get called the gas man with your nice Bunsen burner? lol just kidding I have one too for soldering copper. Nice tool layout you have less then you did in South Korea. Glad you are safe and healthy.
I thought I'd give the copies a go as we had to leave our lithium batteries behind for the flight. So far I'm really impressed and they are a 1/3 of the price 😊
@@leighdearle5965 been telling people for years they are just as good if not better. The 6amp is amazing but heavy. I keep my makita impact in my defender from my plastering days.
This is awesome, i just picked up my 2010 defender 130 puma 2.4 yesterday! its pretty much stock standard and am leanring a lot from you in prep for adventures! one question now if you would be so kind is what are the socket sizes specifically needed? you mentioned Gak helped you select them! thanks in advance.
Great Video and very helpful. Could I ask you to provide some advice or a list of spare parts that would be essential for a prolonged period of time where servicing and self repair would be a factor. So I'm guessing service kits, oil brake pads etc but do you have a list you could share ?
That could just as easily of been my tool tote lol, so now you have gone through it is there anything you feel that is not there but maybe, my only advice is to get some nitril talcless and proper mechanics gloves, plus a couple of vice grips good for pinching off brake lines if you rip a brake line off yes it happens don't ask and a larger set for removing rounded off nuts and bolts lower shock mounts bolts ground down over rocky terrain or as a temporary battery post grip if the battery connector cracks yep my Series 3 did that in the middle of know where, lastly a set of drill easiouts for removing cross hatch, torqx and hex head fixings also small cargo and large ratchet straps have used these to hold axles in place a bed topper and an exhaust oh and the engine when a mount broke, this is a bag that has grown in the 45yrs of touring and offroad adventure's I have a smaller one for my motorcycle.
Is the Jacob's Chuck on that chuck adapter removable? If it's modular then you could probably replace it with one that can be hand-tightened, allowing you to do without the key. EDIT: Your 3/8" driver handle, you might want to be on the lookout for similar ones that build the screwdriver handle onto a socket extension. This allows the ratchet to slot into the handle end, allowing it to be used as any old long socket extension in addition to being a driver handle. I've got them in 1/4" and 3/8" drive and they're incredibly handy when a fastener is _just stuck enough_ to be a pain, but not so bound as to require being ratcheted-off the whole way.
I have been in formal meetings in WA then someone pulls out a mosquitoes net, puts it over their head to protect them from the pesky flies and nobody says a thing. Totally acceptable.
Don’t use those stainless cable ties on electrical cables…they’ll cut straight through (for your viewers). I’d love to see what you have changed by the end of your tripping around Aus…also, a spare parts vid.
Who “BOLTS” climbing routs in 2022? Seriously, bro? WTH? Better not come do that in the US or in Europe! That hasn’t been cool since the early ‘80’s. Real climbers realized that if you can’t do it with non-permanent protection you need to train harder; and NOT destroy the world’s routes with your destructive methods! Stop it. Seriously. Just STOP IT, bro! 🤢🤮
i would add an impact gun for your wheel nuts be easy to take off ..and a chainsaw like a ryobi one rechargeable battery cut branches out of way or for fire wood mate

I was about to ask for the same. I am the same as you carry to much stuff that I don’t use! Thing is as soon as I take it out I’ll need it lol 😂
Same!!
A set of Vise grip
I remember your visit Kingtony it was a very impressive factory

Next video; DEFENDER SPARES ;-) I know you have pared it down since you first started. What are now your essential spares to carry along?? Cheers!
Love the extendable type lever. Never seen that before. Cool vid guys.

Very concise tool kit Leigh. You are very disciplined! I'd need a Unimog just to carry all my crap around!! Love the net BTW!
Metal putty. Saved my arse a few times. Especially with cracked radiators.
Great to see the videos again. Glad you both are doing well. Cheers from Guam.
Great video good to see what essential tools are taken on overland adventures.
Just watched this again, really excellent small kit with the most important items. I think you need to add a file, mini hack saw and side cutters to give stubborn items a bit of motivation, shorten a bolt or something etc., cheers!
Oh, and a pair of vice-grips and some jb-weld!
I am amazed at how much that bag can hold
Lovin you guys! Nice to see you on home turf😎👍
I have that same ratchet tool. Got it at my local hardware shop in Taiwan. Very handy!
What's the brand? Couldn't understand in video
Thanks guys thats awesome, I always carry too many tools I dont need
That was a really concise and informative video as always. Thanks mate!
Seems you've made it a lot further than me with a lot less gear. May have to review my kit and drop the wight a bit. Cheers buddy. Happy trails.
one of my absolute favourite bits of kit, is a set of 'wobble socket' extension bars - so so useful for getting the socket/ratchet into places you wouldn't normally be able to!
Great video as usual. Now that Maud is back together, I’ve been thinking about putting together a kit too.
KNIPEX Pliers Wrenches! I have several sizes in all of my tool kits. I carry a small one on motor cycle trips or additional a bigger one in the camper. In my opinion, way more universal than adjustable wrenches and they always grab snug.

Great kit thanks for sharing
Maybe an assortment of heat shink tubing for the electrics. Preferably the dual wall shrink with the glue coating inside?
Never found those extending levers much good , you would struggle to shift a big nut with it . It’s the angle on the bar , means you won’t be able to get your big hammer on it . Swap it for a straight bar with half inch drive , also a 10 and 13mm ratchet spanner to go with the 17 👍
Great video, but what size are the socket, thanks
Do you get called the gas man with your nice Bunsen burner? lol just kidding I have one too for soldering copper. Nice tool layout you have less then you did in South Korea. Glad you are safe and healthy.
great video - can you share which sizes of sockets you carry.. i need to reduce my kit.
As a fellow builder I noticed you have a copy makita battery. Funny how the last better than original ones. Love the videos
I thought I'd give the copies a go as we had to leave our lithium batteries behind for the flight.
So far I'm really impressed and they are a 1/3 of the price 😊
@@leighdearle5965 been telling people for years they are just as good if not better. The 6amp is amazing but heavy. I keep my makita impact in my defender from my plastering days.

yea i would like to know too. i own a defender station wagon TD4 from 2012 and about to do a little journey through europe :D
Gotta love WA - 10,000,000 flies can't be wrong!!
thank you for share your detail video
No tyre repair kit? Great video!
Can you give a list of the sockets that you narrowed down your kit to?
Cool la présentation 🤩

👋 Hola. Tienen planes de venir a sudamericana? Saludos 🖖 desde Perú 🇵🇪
Good job
I thought that the fly was the official state bird of Australia.
Nah... official state bird of Western Australia 😂😂
Hello, is DEEN the manufacturer of the 9.5sq driver?
Yes that's right.
Do you have a tyre plug kit? Maybe not something to keep in your tool bag.
Yes we do have a tyre repair kit. It's in with the spare parts 😉
Any jack and axle stand in the truck?
Yes we've got a bottle jack and a 5 ton exhaust jack.
I carry lil bt more. But of its enough for you. Cheers 🍺&🍷
Cool

I think he keeps them for hot things like exhaust. At least I do! ;-)
I'm pretty sure no toolkit is complete without a 10mm spanner :)
Haha that's true although I've got 2 10mm sockets 😉
Magnetic flexible stick
Ok, where is the item. From Two Dog's hardware.
Now a Land Rover Series 3.
You would only need two spanners. 5/16.
To take the car to bits.
Where's the by lingo. On the bottom of the video. Guys?
Mid week videos are not subtitled and never have been. Steph just doesn't have time and my French sucks.
@@leighdearle5965 OK, Enjoy the day guys. See ya on the next video.
you forgot a tire repair kit.
Same shit in canada
