- March 26, 2012, 07:45:47 AMBeing I don't like pillaging my nice ratchet and wrench sets from the garage to create a handlebar tool bag, I was wondering if you guys could rattle off what you have found to work best for you in your tool bags for the 1500 Drifter. (i.e. - sizes for sockets, wrenches, Allen, Torx bits; types of pliers commonly used, any special tools, ratchet extension? universal joint? deep sockets?) I haven't decided on the tool bag yet and was hoping to see what kind of "tool volume" everyone is carrying with them before I go buying something is twice the size of what I actually would need. I mean, I don't want to go buy another metric socket set if the whole thing is put together with 10mm's.
Much thanks,
Lee
