Jonathan’s One-Case Toolkit is legendary. His tool classes regularly sell out at Overland Expo. This free online workshop aired September 12 launches a series dissecting the contents of the One-Case Tool Kit, beginning with what he calls “the most important tool you can have:” ratchet and socket sets.

From the workshop chat, some of the products and tips mentioned by viewers:

Park Tool hammer is *not* deadblow.  https://www.parktool.com/product/shop-hammer-hmr-4?category=General%20Shop%20Tools#tabbed-section

Here's the soft/hard face dead blow I mostly reach for these days.  I like this one.  (I also have a Snap-on ball peen deadblow that gets used everywhere.)

With that Britool set no longer available, have you found a good alternative. What would you buy if you were putting the set together today?

For ODB-II…. I have a Gap IIDTool for the Land Rover and in addition to letting you know codes, you can (re) program all the ECUs and modify the suspension. Super helpful for any Land Rover owner. [h/t Troy Angrignon]

I like the ScanGuage, but it doesn’t decode, so you need a manual also. I use it as supplemental gauges; nice bonus that it reads ODBII codes. [h/t David Robinson]

NOCO brand (similar to Microstart)
