I guess y'all have never seen a BMW toolkit.  I've never looked much at the
ones they put in their "cages" but the one that is in the bikes is pretty 
complete.  It comes in a roll-up and includes wrenches, screwdrivers and hex
wrenches.  

I didn't think that my kit was that extreme, it all fits in a nice small 
plastic kit that I can transfer to the car that will be used for the trip 
and know that I'm prepared.  That may be the deal, this is the kit that I 
put in the car when I go for a trip ... it will be in one of the cars, but 
I don't have one set in each car.  I usually have to count on the little 
bag-o-tools that came with the car for that eventuality ...

The kit has come in handy in situations where one of the tools in the gar-
age decides to move to some unknown location.  I just have to remember to 
put it back in the kit when I'm done.
