If you were/are a redneck, or if youre just super proficient with simple tools (you know who you are); Its time we have  little fun.  What would be the items you would include in the super dooper redneck tool box.
#1 the obvious, duct tape....for when things that are moving, shouldnt move.

#2 Cable ties, i work on a farm and you can fix ANYTHING with a cable tie, or more than one cable tie attached to another.

#3 WD40, or similar type spray lubricant, cant lubricate anything in the field for a short period of time or unstick stuck things with it.

Det Cord, because once you've mangled it beyond recognition trying to fix it you have to get rid of the evidence that you are a completely retarded inbred hack.

No ones mentioned what were keeping the tools in.

We could go for the classic...

An old oil soaked towel/sheet, grimey with holes in it which you put the tools in then wrap up and tie with a piece of ripped sheet.

Or we could go for the redneck toolchest 1000...

A half of a 10 gal oil drum rusted all over so when you've finished working you can burn shaZam!. ROCK ON!  :2guns:

Plastic 5 gal bucket or cardboard box.

Sledge: I find the best way to deal with JW's is to answer the door in your boxers with a shotgun over your shoulder and a  beer in one hand regardless of what time in the morning it is.

As you know Tel owning anything other than a spudgun in our fair isle is a big issue and as a result we have to resort to other methods........I find that engaging them in positive conversation, then slowly droping you trousers/pants and starting to mast****e furiously without loosing eye contact is also a very effective method of ensuring a hasty departure on their behalf.
