1/2 inch chisel
Duct tape, wrap some round the hammer handle
Tie wire
If you make the screwdriver a hex bit type you can take an assortment of
bits (torx etc depending on the car) Facom make a handy little folding one,
includes 6 bits
Latex gloves
Cable ties
Multitool. Leatherman Wave is useful
Hope that's not increased your burden too much.
