I'd not worry too much about allen keys in it as a better set would be much more useful and they're cheap on Amazon etc.
Just do as I have and have a small seperate tool box with a anything else you need in.

Breakdowns in the past (other vehicles I have owned) have all been beyond a roadside repair, so I now try to roll into a pub and phone a very nice man, they can have a go at fixing while I have a coffee / beer depending upon severity of fault.
Works for me.

My mate had the same problem, he broke down whilst off roading at Cown quarry. His mate dragged him to the main road and then they called out the recovery service. When they turned up and saw the car covered in mud he refused to help him as he said he had been off roading which invalidated his breakdown cover.
