Trip tools

[Pap]

OK all,
I tried the search, but didn't find any threads on this.
What tools do you recommend to take with you on a trip?
I'm planning to take a small crescent wrench, needle-nose pliers, Channel lock pliers, Phillips and straight screw driver and duct tape.
What size Allen wrenches should I take?
Anything I'm missing?
Thanks

Set of metric allen wrenches and may I suggest an mini compressor and tire plugs (just in case). Small flashlight too.

Good idea with the flashlight. I can wrap the duct tape around it to save space.

I will look for a small air compressor.

Looks good to me...

Can I suggest one more small item(s)? Some small and larger zip ties. Just a few. They take up no space and you would be surprised what you can use them for. That Honda is probably not going to need a wrench on it but other things might. I've used zip ties on my friend's brake linkage and another as a zipper pull on a jacket.

Slime has a wonderfully small compressor that will inflate anything on your ride. Combine with some good plugs is all you will need for tire inflation and make sure your insurance carrier has road side assistance insurance incase you hit something that can't be fixed on the highway
Just google Slime small Compressors and look at the 40019 compressor it comes with everything you need to hook it up to the bike
I would also like to recommend the Stop and Go Pocket Plugger the one without the CO2 canisters cause if you have the compressor you don't need CO2.
Both these pieces are very compact and don't take up a lot of room and work very well when you need them. Check them out.

The credit cards are a must have item, my buddy hit a piece of steel at a railroad track crossing and took out both tires on his ride, well when all was said and done, bike had to be picked up and hauled to the nearest dealer and two tires installed and balanced the bill was almost 8 hundred bucks. So yes, big plus on the credit cards

+1 to zip ties.
You can never have too many Mag Lites or Zip ties.

And I realize most of us have one for EDC, but a nice sharp folding knife is always good to have.

Zip ties and a sharp knife, good ideas!
Its always the little things you don't think about!
