What do people keep in the car in the way of mini tool kits and what do you stash them in?

I'm thinking along the lines of this, maybe in a tool roll:

Pliers
Allen/hex keys
Torx keys
Master link pliers
Chain tool
Valve core tool
Shock pump
Cable cutters/side cutters
Floor pump

Anything else you think it'd be worth having?

Show us pictures of what you've got.

Looks sharp! It's a deep hole to go down, though. I guess when your kit is so portable like that, it's easy just to sling everything in? I'd be scared to leave too nice a tool kit in the car in an isolated car park in case it got nicked! 😬

I've kinda been thinking maybe a hanger tool would be an idea, but then just a replacement hanger is cheaper. I've got a spare Crombie (Abbey stuff's beautiful, eh?!) that I could chuck in there, but kinda can't see the point. I'm not sure I could see myself bleeding brakes in a car park without a workstand... I like the idea of having the ability to mess around with suspension and volume spacers but I barely have enough time to ride, let alone tune my suspension 😂

Will redo the box at some point to put 3 layers in, move the tools around a bit, some are in the wrong place and should be on the top deck or in the lid and vice versa.
