Metric.

 

No all metric

 

Sweet that makes it easier then. I have plenty of wrench sets I keep in different areas of my house/barn but I want a set in a pouch so it will be easier to keep the wrenches from rattling around.

 

Is there anything that isn’t metric fasteners now days?

 

American Standard toilets.

 

belt deflection adjustment requires a 7/16 wrench and a 1/8 allen wrench.

 

Not to mention thats one of the only things you are going to fix on the trail anyways.Bring a couple of relays,plugs,belt ,self fusing tape and thats about it.

 

Heres my kit.
A set of wrenches ranging from 10mm to 15mm. Has a locking box they sit into so thats a plus.
A double ended 9/16 one end and 1/2 the other. Because past polaris sleds need that size.
1/8th allen.
7/16 wrench.
Zip ties.
Fuses.
Wire cutter/crimper with butt splices and extra wire.
Flat head and philips screw driver.
A T-40 already comes with the sleds apart pf the spark plug wrench.

Newer sleds I would have a relay spare or two.

These sleds mostly use a 10mm, 13mm, or a 15mm.

 

I would add Torx bits for levers and controls..

 

I always carry a trustworthy flashlight with several cut pieces of duct tape wrapped around it & a good boot lace. A lighter that works.

 

I switched to a good headlamp. It nice to free up your hands when your dealing with a sled repair or getting unstuck etc.

 

tow strap. there's not much your going to do on the trail or out in the woods today. but yes some tools are a good thing.

 

Yep I carry a tow strap. I'm looking into a heavier duty rear bumper too. Not sure what's available yet? I've had friends ruin there rear bumper towing someone. Rick are they still putting poor quality relays in like my 2017?

 

Over the years I/we have rigged up several things to get us out of the woods or even to keep riding the rest of the day. Sure we all have.

 

I know the topic is tools. A little off topic, but I always bring a collapsible snow shovel

 

I just wanna be ready just incase I have to tow somebody for whatever reason.

 

if you want a hook cost is a new belt and new rear bumper lol

Kit includes:
Lightweight Wrench Metric – Open End/Box End
8, 10, 13, 15,

I can tell you are the guy that we are all at some point very glad you are a riding partner. 😁

 

I bring a Skidoo along to tow the Arctic Cats. Only one tool needed ! lol

 

I carry a small folding saw. trees fall down in the trail u can get threw. busted a arm. cut a limb and hose lamp it in place.

 

What's a hose lamp? 🤣

 

after 25 years of sitting unused in my toolkit, I finally found use for my 15mm spanner, lol.

I believe the primary still uses SAE for the weight bolts, 1/8" allen + 3/8" wrench.

 

I have two questions:

1. What spare relays are you all bringing along? Seems like a good idea but I don't know what to buy.
2. I have a very nice snowmobile specific tow strap I like but it's a bit bulky. I'd like to mount it under the hood somewhere but I'm concerned about pipe heat. Anybody ever do anything like this or suggest a spot? I go the idea from watching video of the Baja 1000. The tow strap was zip tied to the dash in a way that it wasn't going anywhere until it was needed. Made a lot of sense to me.

 

Most buy the Panosonic relays. I have not had any issues with my Axys ones.

Polaris offers a kit. It's a little pricey but seems to have everything you need.

 

i carry a bic lighter, a cell phone, and a hand gun. all the tools i need. if i break down and have no cell service i will set the sled on fire to keep warm. when that goes out i will walk out. if it gets to bad save the last bullet for yourself. you laugh i ran out of gas and had coyote flank me most of the way home. i didn't have the gun with me. but i grabbed a solid big branch. and talked to them. about 6 of them. i will take at least three of you out. so you decide which three? i hit trees etc all the way and talked like they were people. there was no doubt they were sizing me up. i could see them in the moon light on both sides of the trail. 50' away. pretty scary. but i'am a fighter so i'am not going down easy. hand gun all the time now. don't leave home with out it.

 

Klim makes a very nice tool kit pack/holder, it fits perfectly in the bottom of the Polaris sport bag I have on the tunnel. I filled the tool pack with the necessities, under the seat I carry a tow strap, small roll of gorilla tape, first aid kit, fire starter and a emergency stash of toilet paper.
