I've read several times over Tim's "blog" about the refit of Glissando and I remember a passage in which he writes that his sawzall's blade snapped and that he was, of course, out of blades.
This week-end, when packing my tools to go to the boat, I had this passage in mind and I packed several blades for my sawzall.
Sure enough, the blade snapped after a while. I was pretty happy that I had packed additional blades. I fetched the replacement blades and I noticed that I forgot the Allen wrench...

That is always a pain!
My old sawsall also uses an Allen for blade changes, it also has a rubber sleeve over the forward section of the housing, so after I lost the allen wrench for it one day, I picked up two, and tucked one in the sleeve so it's easy to get when needed, the other one got stuffed as deep in as I could get it so it's a pain to dig out, but always there in case the 'regular' one gets misplaced.
