What tools and sockets does everyone carry daily? I'm trying to figure out what are the best things to keep on board without going overboard.

Very little. A few screwdrivers, vise grips, a socket that fits the lug nuts and a breaker bar. The most important tool to have handy around town is a cell phone.
