Travel tool roll suggestions
I want to put together a tool kit to keep in my RV-12 for on-the-spot repairs while away from home. I just want a small, light weight tool roll so I can get most common things addressed in a manner that will get me home. I haven't traveled cross country by plane before, and in my cars... well, I got out of the habit of carrying tools, to be honest, since none of ours have broken down in the past 20 years and we keep them maintained. I hope that the tools in the plane only get pulled out during the annual to make sure they're there and clean.
Here's what I'm thinking so far:
Maybe the safety wire pliers can replace the needle nose pliers.
What's the collective wisdom say? Additions/deletions, what and why?

Here's what I'm thinking so far:
- Multi-bit screwdriver
- Safety wire pliers and a few feet of safety wire
- Needle nose pliers
- Tire & tube patch kit
- Self-fusing silicone tape
- "Gorilla Tape To-Go" (1" x 30' roll)
- A few Allen wrenches
- Crescent wrench
- 3/8 drive handle & extension
- Spark plug socket
- 3/8, 7/16, 1/2 and 9/16 sockets (AN3 - AN6 bolts)
Maybe the safety wire pliers can replace the needle nose pliers.
