L.SCOTT When it comes to tools one may better hare too many than too few. Tools are easily- misslaced r lost . and it is of 1 vital lmpor Unce to see to it that the tool kit fa well supplied before starting on the tour. It does little good to know the trouble if you do not have the right tools with which to make the repair. " v ; ; It is surprising how, few motor ists check over the tool kit ; be fore starting on their, trip. A pump, a jack, a pair of pliers and a screw driver are the only tools carried in the average tool ybox. The set of tools that come with the car usually contain 'every wrench , needed for minor' adjust ments. The car manufacturer has studied the needs for various- tools with which he has equipped tbn car, and you may' be sure that there is a special use for each and every wrench. The , missing 'tools should be replaced when th trip is planned. - During bur, recent rambles over the country "we encountered manv disciples of the "Will-you-leud-me" club. On one occasion we met a fellow from a nearby state who was .' starting on a tour oi the west. His car had stopped for some reason unknown to him and he asked our assistance. We soon traced the trouble to the gas line land asked hfm for a wrench with wbich to remove toe coupling, tie said he had no wrenches but be thought he had a paid of pliers some place in' the" cart '.Thesb he brought lorth after diligently searching under both front and back seats. And what a fine pair of pliers they' were to call them pliers would be an insult to the plier family. They were of the 8id6 cutting variety with the jaws both broken, handy perhaps for repairing fences atjone time, but of no value to an automobile. -W aoon remedied the trouble with equipment from our own tool box and advised our 'Jess fortunate friend to drop into a Western Aato , store and provide himself ; Another unfortunate we mpt was utalleeT in the middle of a stream thai passed over the road. He Immediately informed us. aftr asking our aid, that his trouble Vi in the Ignition system: Tools? ua va j"1 vm- " at bad tools for every purpose ex- dlrolged bis secret how he came by such a choice variety of tools tM.Vti'titnttiAffJti-Uw Avniul a mn. - t' rycle ahop and bad given them ' t him. and from the layout be- V ? w-ueiLda'l doubt hi? word, tecl t"x ws3 a perfect pic- ture of the, way a well equipped tool box shouldn't look. Then too. was the fellow that hailed us with "Say, old man. J wonder if you have such athinc as a i-." He was the proud pos- seasor of a used a car purchased the day before lie started on the trip. He was in need of a file with which to remove the glaze from the interruptor points and had hailed every car that passed his way with no results. We made the necessary adjustments for him and he was soon on his way. So it is not always a matter of too few tools when trouble arises, nor is it the case, of too many tools. The whole trouble seems t? lje Jn the selection of.the.pro. er kind of tools for each individual car. Aside , from ithee special tools there are many little acces-f sories to the tool box that are both Important and necessary. : A tow rope, extra light bulbs, tire repair outfit, jack and pump, ignition wrenches', socket'wrench set. iron wire tape many are the additions that prove a life saver when the car gives trouble.
