1. small selection of ratchet spanners
   
2. can of carb cleaner
   
3. phillips and flathead screwdriver

Yeah a medium size ball pain ,a large ball pain, a lump hammer, and a sledge hammer only added the sledge hammer as i needed to get some stub axles out the other day and they were a pain.

 

saves walking backward and forward from the shed
