Ratchet spanner, but Iv lost my 10/11mm one. Magnet Pick stick, bout the size of a pen, but extends to about 2 1/2 foot, very good for picking up drop nuts and bolt, and saves your back!lol and the best tool is passionford.com!

If it's big spanners your after check out my 50mm to give you an idea how big it is the middle one is 32mm and the bottom one is a 10mm. And that's a 3x2 Slab its resting on so just over 2 foot long!!

10 &13mm spanners, seem to fit 90% of things on a sierra.
Can't beat a "stilly" though!
