As the title asks, Whats in your toolbox/spares box?
So far in my small collection are:
  • A spare set of a allen keys
  • Some lube
  • Spare batteries
  • Cloth/rag
  • Multi tool
  • Lighter
  • Electrical tape
  • Thread tape
Any suggestions as to what else may come in handy ?

Simply because of the sheer ammount of tools and parts I have I split it all into three seperate kits. The one I leave at home for maintaining everything, the one I take to the field and a seperate kit for Creed, Ion, Ego 8 and Halo parts. In my home kit I've got:

Chronograph < - - - Best thing to have if you're going to be in paintball for any decent length of time. Makes teching so much eaiser.
Allen Key Set
Various Screwdrivers
Stanley Knife
Super Glue
Epoxy Glue
Fabric Glue < - - - For loose goggle foam.
Micro-Fiber Cloths
Lube
Loc-Tite
Macroline & Banjo's
Screw Removal Kit < - - - Because nothing ruins your day like a sheared screw.
Needle Nose Pliers

And in my field kit it's:

Allen Keys
Electrical Tape < - - - Always handy. Battery door falls off? Tape. Loader loose in the feedneck? Tape. The screw that attracts the trigger magnet on your Ion falls out? Stick an Allen Key in there and Tape.
9v & AA Batteries
Screwdrivers
Lube
Small Spares Kit for my Marker
Cat Crap Anti Fog < - - - Always good if you go with friends to a rental day. Keep their googles fogging.
Microfiber Cloth
Adjustable Wrench
Stanley Knife

I admit that most of it is far from essential but It's nice to know it's there if needed :)

Spares box for your marker and the tools to change the spares I think is essential, don't want to get to a day, play for 20 mins and then have to replace something and not have the means to do it. Although I'm sure most people are good enough to give you a hand :)

as my team mates would probably tell you i used to have everything from batterys to spare asas, I even had a delrin bolt for a cocker i hadnt owned for 5 years! I do tend to find that the more spares and tools you have the more goes missing and now shooting a demon and a luxe i only carry a dye multitool a metric set of folding allen keys, lube and AA batterys

I'm surprised no one has said a Toothbrush yet....

Seriously, one of the best things in my tool kit for cleaning bits out of those areas which are hard to get into.

Kitchen roll.
Spray bottle with water is always a good one for cleaning you lense properly and quickly in between points.
Bin bag for dirty stuff.

These are more practical things than 'tools' per say, but they're in my box :)

Definitely, a toothbrush is a godsend for cleaning. I take a fairly extensive load of spares and tools with me - usually this lot (which has seals/parts for all the guns and air systems I own) plus a larger adjustable spanner and some decent lengths of macro. It all stays in the car though, the only thing I carry to the staging area is a small pouch containing just the hex keys needed to strip the marker and a tiny pot of DOW33, that way I don't have to worry about any of it going walkies.
