On a serious note, I'm always amazed what I can fix roadside with a neat little wrench I picked up along the way somewhere. It is a box end wrench with 9/16ths on one end and 1/2 on the other.

When I was younger my "Chevelle kit" included the above wrench, most recently replaced upper and lower radiator hoses, a 50/50 gallon of antifreeze, the most recently replaced fan belts, a 6-way screwdriver, and a dime to call home.

Yes that was before cell phones and credit cards.

My WWII veteran neighbor when I was growing up said with his model T all you needed was a spare tire, extra transmission bands, and a wire cutter. As long as you followed a fence line you could fix anything but the transmission and a tire with a hunk of wire.
