In addition to what you mentioned, I’ve also got extensions, swivels, breaker bar, zip ties, ball peen hammer, tire plug kit and OBD II code reader. I’m sure there are a couple other things I’ve forgotten squirreled away in there too.

Plug kit and obd reader in there already. I just want to not have 40lbs of tools.
Thanks for the swivel and breaker bar idea
I’d say my tool bag comes in at close to 40lbs.
I forgot to mention I’ve got jumper cables too. I keep it all locked in one of my cargo drawers. Definitely easy to get carried away and end up carrying too much stuff!- Thread starter

Unfortunately I'm part of the ""have it and not need vs need it and not have it" crowd

this is a tool kit I built for my truck to take on big trips out into wilderness areas, this isn't kept in the truck for daily trips to walmart
100% on the JIS screwdrivers, that was a game-changer for me. Also agree on carrying enough socket extensions.
A few additional recommendations from my own tool kit:
1. A brass drift to use on cone washers
2. A strap wrench
3. a small extractor kit

While I am a true believer in having something than not having something I think it does depend on where you are traveling and what other means do you have.
Are you a DIY guy or pay someone else to fix? If DIY you carry more if pay your way then carry less
Are you "off grid" or far enough out and there is no other way to fix other than what you brought? If so, then you will want quite the "garage" with you.
If only traveling where AAA can help then smaller amount needed.

It's only too much until the first time that you need it. My roll is also 40 lbs, but I don't think that it could possibly hurt my gas mileage.I’d say my tool bag comes in at close to 40lbs.
Beside the stuff mentioned I'm also carrying some grease and WD40 (WD40 also helps on campground to get rid of the squeaking on metal door foodlockers ^^).
Going more heavily wheeling I'm carrying some spare parts like tie rods end (recovery is hard without steering...), a used CV axle, spark plugs, 1 coil, ...
