   Basic 3/8 socket set in metric and standard
   Basic SAE and metric wrenches
   Small extension
   #2 Phillips screwdriver
   Slotted screwdriver
   Small prybar
   Pocket OHM meter
   Jumper wire
   Wire strippers
   Seat bypass connector
   Vice grips
   Pliers
   Assorted fuses
   
   We have mostly Toro equipment in our fleet

   Thanks for the reply. Good items I was thinking about some of those as well. I will not have a designated cart and have a relatively small property so keeping it basic. I do have a nice small jack I acquired from a junkyard that works well for flat tires on triplexes. Also adding a hammer, how could I forget that.

   Good list!
   Tire plugs are a must (especially for rocky courses like mine), good call Andy.
   I would add a laser thermometer (I usually just toss mine in as I leave the shop). They're really handy to check for bearing and motor failures in the field.

   Also consider a small punch to punch out broken bolts or pins. Now that you've got your hammer....
