One for discussion;
Do people carry them? Or rely on breakdown cover?
My tool choice goes thus: can I
Change a tyre
Swap a drive belt
Add coolant / secure a hose.
Change a terminal
Change bulbs
Check for voltage
Pull a fuse
Illuminate stuff
Secure something.

Re: Emergency Tool kit
All completely sealed, expiry dates vary depending on the item inside the kit from 1995 to around 1997 leading me to believe this kit did in fact come with the car in 1993.
