Mine is much older but is closer to the too one.

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.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI have an old MGB, I carry the most common tools that I use for the car,. Just like the Jimny the MG has limited space and I will never be able to carry all the tools for every eventually, however I use one of these tool rolls which disciplines me to just carry the essentials.

I think it is not as important what you brought, it is more important what you did not bring.
Murphy's law dictates that whenever something bresks, you will need whatever tools and spares you left at home.

The Halfords look nice with a lot of different sizes. I would recommend them for home. If you use them to carry there are a lot of tools missing, e.g., hammer etc.

Regarding the canvas This may not so practical if you are in the dirt somewhere.

I carry enough tools to change a wheel and a green flag card. If not then you'll start to get mission creep and before you know it you're not going to be able to fit a take away in the car for all the what if tools.
