I can live without removing the balls frankly. I’ve had to move dozens of games or had them delivered to me with balls still inside and as far as I can tell it’s never resulted in damage. It’s a big pain in the ass to drill you just want to haul this game out. If front door key is missing I’ll just grin and bare it unless it’s HUO or something, and it usually
Ain’t.

The bare minimum here is you need the 5/16 Allen key so you can fold the head down and a socket set 5/8 for the leg bold. Bring one. You can never count on the seller to have any of this stuff.

Bring a pair of pliers or adjustable rent. You never know if this game will have the wrong size leg bolts.

You just want to get this game out.

So bare minimum here for a maverick-

5/16 backbox Allen key

Adjustable wrench

Strap or plastic wrap to secure head

Piece of cardboard to put between glass and head when you fold over and secure.
