These days,

optional insurance towing services are so comprehensive that I find myself wondering if onboard tools are even necessary.
But for minor troubles\u2014like a mirror coming loose and spinning around\u2014having tools on hand really does solve the problem.
I took a look at the dirty onboard tools on my Inazuma 1200. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I realized they’re really just the bare minimum\u2014a setup you can only use when you’re truly in a bind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All of this is pretty much useless.
I want to swap it out for something better. If you actually tried to use these, things wouldn’t come loose\u2014they’d strip, no question about it.
The insert-type screwdrivers, for instance\u2014they don’t even have handles anymore, and even if they did, the shaft diameter is too thin to be practical.

Straight to the trash at light speed ( *\u00b4\u8278\uff40) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I might keep this one, though.

The axle, plug, and 19 mm sockets\u2014what’s the deal with those? You don’t see many general-purpose tools with this size in a socket configuration.
And making this size this compact is incredibly difficult.
*Though it’s only usable in emergencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You probably can’t loosen it without stepping on it, but that’s actually fantastic.
I’m thinking of picking something from KTC or Koken\u2014maybe even a bicycle tool kit could work.

I’ll let you know once I’ve got everything sorted. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
