Your description is quite similar to what I have seen. The tubular device is sometimes referred to as a "plug-n-lug" as it is intended to perform those two functions. The older cars had two screwdrivers, one straight and one #2 phillips---these could have either black or transparent amber handles, and were usually marked "Made in Sweden" Reversible screwdrivers were first used some time in the late 70s or early 80s. The usual Bahco adjustable wrench has a tire iron tip to the handle end. There are other rarer variants. There were two open end wrenches, 7/16 X 1/2 and 1/2 X 9/16. These were usually marked "Western Germany", without a brand name. These were sometimes plated (thin coat, nickel looking) but usually not. There were also a few made in Austria by Stubai. These were always blued steel. There was never, to my knowledge, a pair of pliers included in the factory tool kit. If you can find them, a pair from a Saab 96 kit (marked "Eskilstuna Sweden") make an excellent addition.
