I want to assemble a kit of must have tools and parts and was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on what they would have? Most people, including myself, do not want to carry a whole kit with tools and wrenches that you will never need.

What are your thoughts?

That's a great thing about Automags...very little tools required. My 'mag toolkit consists of an allen wrench set (small, pocket-size type), extra foamies & o-rings, Autolube, small adjustable crescent wrench, pick set. That's about it.

My paintball tool kit is similar with a few more additions;
Teflon tape, several macro swivels, wire cutters, knife, macro line, a flat head and phillips screw driver and a couple of box end wrenches. I have never needed all the tools at the same time but I always have what I need when I need it.

Same as all the posts above:

If your gun functions already and you just need spare "just in case" stuff:

Tools:
1/8" allen key
Small Crescent Wrench
Dental/Automotive Pick

Parts:
foamie
bumper
o-rings (rebuild kit)
shims (level X and/or ULT if needed)
teflon tape

Oil (I prefer FDA synthetic lube)

The swivel macro fittings can go bad from time to time.

A tube of super glue might be a good idea to have if you have to replace a foamie. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I'd want to be able to fix that ASAP.

My kit consists of an X-Valve rebuild kit, a couple of RT bumpers, spare detents, Level 10 Springs, some tank o-rings, a small crescent wrench and the sacred 1/8" Allen key.

Same as above. Super glue, extra foamies, bolt springs, lube, teflon tape, crescent wrench, squeegie, and the almighty allen wrench set. I was blowing macro lines, so I switched to braided. A lot less hassle.
