And, don't forget, things like electrical tape, maybe duct tape, wire,
zip ties, rubber gloves, paper towel etc.

You need to assemble a kit based on what you need to fix 90-95% of
failures of that car on the road. (or start with what you have and add
to it over time to raise the % of failures you could handle. A set of
combo wrenches, and a set of HF vice grip copies and a 4way
screwdriver is a good start.
I had a set in a cusomt made roll I put together for 110-123. It
would handle 95% probably of thengs that might need repair on that
car. 1 1/6 deep flute deep socket for injection, 1 1/8 socket for
turning crank. 3/8 drive sockets, combo wrenches, box wrenches,
screwdriver/sparkplug wrench from MB toolkit, machinists scribe/hook,
allen wrenches, 8mm stubby allen socket (OM621/615 oil filter), drip
tube for IP timing, 12" Channellock, etc. Unfortunately #1 daughter
let it get rusty in the trunk and the roll rotted away. Most of it is
now in a oversize 50 cal can.
I have a kit of some form in every vehicle, plus my Truvalu shallow
toolbox I carry (almost) everywhere that will handle 90% of whatever I
encounter.

I've been thinking about a HF standard tool kit that I should get for my
three MB's, let me know what you come up with.
