First point -

Good tools are like gold. Don't take them to the airfield, things develop wings
at airfields. People borrow stuff, and generally remember to return them. My
record is a leatherman that came back after 16 months. (It has my name engraved
on it - and the user eventually noticed it was not his)

I have a cheap set of sockets and combination wrenches, alan keys, screwdrivers.
It helps to have two of the more common sizes. One thing that may cause you
some difficulty, depending on location, is that most glass toys are made in
Europe with metric fasteners.

Most useful thing in the tool box is probably a digital multimeter. It is
amazing how often the electrical bits are doing something puzzling...

Don't forget the hand cleaner, and cleaning kit for the glider.
