The smallish toolkit that lives in my Land-Rover is set up like this.
It's got a set of combination wrenches, a 3/8 ratchet, an extension, a
universal, and a socket rail. I took a couple of the sockets that
I'll never use off the rail, and replaced them with a spark plug
socket, and a 3/8 BS socket (fits the hub bolts, which need tightening
from time to time.)
