I am just finishing building out a new Softwash rig.... perhaps the most valuable (repair wise) tool I've added, thanks to a suggestion of a pressure washing friend, is a small VICE that I bolted to the side rail of the bed of my Isuzu NPR flatbed.

If you've ever tried doing field repairs without a vice, perhaps using two crecent wrenches and/or a channel locks for removing fittings etc.,  once you realize how valuable having a good vice mounted, you'll wonder how you ever did without it.

I guess that depends partially on what's on your rig.

Here's a partial list for me:

2 crescents
1 large channel lock
1 pliers
1 set of screwdrivers (various sizes and shapes including hex, star, torx, etc)
1 sockets set (large, SAE and Metric)
1 hammer
teflon tape
duct tape
hose clamps
Fittings to fix hoses
various viton seals and O rings

Other things not necessarily tools:
Push broom
Squeegee
scrub brush (large and small)
Garden Hose sprayer/wand/ballvalve and nozzle or any means to rinse with a garden hose
Rubber boots

safety googles
first aid kit (including eye wash)
respirator (w/ extra filters)
couple of large carbiners

sunscreen
cell phone
cooler (full w lots of water)

maybe more than you were asking for, but... hey you can always ignore me, lol

Silicone spray is crucial for me for unjamming quick connects or stuck chem injector. Heat proof grease works well as a preventitive and keeps things well lubed. Also emory cloth for when quik connects just cant seem to lock when the tip swells (or for whatever other reason). i use the emory to aggresively clean the nozzles until it fits and the quick connect locks.

It will also shine up some shutters in a jam too!
