As dozer said, get yourself the big halfords kit. The halfords "pound through" screwdrivers are a good buy as well.
The propshaft socket is great, have a look on ebay for one of those.
Also a 52mm (I think) impact socket for the hub nuts, much easier than using a box spanner and a lot more professional than using a hammer and chisel! Shocked
A long breaker bar to use for wheel nuts is better than having to jump up and down on the tyre spanner supplied with the truck too.

Edit: the way I read it the OP was just asking what tools are good to have. Obviously you don't need to carry all of my suggestions with you everywhere! I only carry the breaker bar fitted with a 27mm socket.


Yes Guy ! was initially looking for advice for what tools would be good to have in your home toolkit but information on what the americans call an everyday carry(on the truck)is also very usefull.......I was looking for example " most common torx size used on defender"and the like.
