I agree with Tom that I err on the side of too many tools. I disagree with Tom that my extensive list is entirely wasted. With proper understanding and process it is possible to solve most electrical problems with a fairly basic Volt/Ohm meter. However, I find that my clamp-on meter and proximity meters speed things up. I could just use a basic wire stripper and crimper plier to install crimp-on terminals but I feel more secure with a crimper that punches into the terminal.
It is really hard to separate must-haves from helpful-to-haves from "darn I just like that". A tool left at home is as useful as the runway behind you. Now, if I can just figure what will fail on my next trip I will fix it before I leave and all my tools will remain in the garage.
