What should I carry for my Honda tool kit? (lemmy.world)

I have a 2017 Honda CRV and I recently had a problem with the skid plate falling down after taking it to an Official Honda Dealership for an oil change. Unfortunately, when it did, I was 70 miles from home, unprepared, and had to ask a client for tools to help me out of my jam.

I'm the type of person that likes to be prepared for any situation that comes up, and I'm trying to remedy that now.

The Current Kit:

I've added metric wrenches, a 1/4" socket set, standard Philips and flat head screwdrivers, a JIS screwdriver set, a metric hex-key wrench set, needle nose pliers, a screw jack with spare tire, digital air pressure gauge as well as a lithium ion battery tire inflator and jump kit.

Is there anything I'm missing?

I live in an upper floor apartment and don't have many people I can contact when I have a problem (I do have AAA, but it's not what it used to be) so it's important for me to be self-reliant while also having most of the tools that I need "on hand" without having to make multiple trips up and down the stairs.

Regular slip joint pliers.

A pack of auto Fuses that match your car.

A good flashlight.

A good phone battery pack.

Already have a flashlight (didn't think to list that) and I have a phone battery pack sitting in a drawer at home so I'll add that, thanks!

Just added a fuse kit to my shopping cart and I'll consider a pair of slip joint pliers; I think I can find a pair of pliers at a thrift shop or garage sale.
