        The screwdriver is pretty handy. The little open wrenches can be useful on occasion as well.

          I've used the tool roll in 2002's MANY times, while on the road. In my Motronic cars, not so much. My E30 gets on the hoist a couple times a week, any time something makes a funny sound. I'd drive it around the world, and never need any tools!

          I have used the screwdriver to fasten new license plates and such, however.

              Blew my alternator belt. Used my shoelaces as a belt and the bmw tool kit. It got me home safe on my 17 mile trip. :)

                        I made a thread about it with pics from my cell phone and everything like 2 years ago here on r3v. Good times it was.

                          Just last night... I was pumping gas and when I got back in to go I started her up and all I hear is CLICK and everything goes dead. WTF? Go check the battery and the neg. terminal is loose. I ALWAYS have tools in my car except yesterday. Thankfully the 13mm wrench in the tool kit saved me.

                              my driver's wiper came loose in a ice/snow storm.. I couldn't see shit. thank god for the 13mm wrench!

                              I've used the screwdriver one or two times, but usually it's other people that need tools. I try to fix my car before I leave the house :p
