whole kit and caboodle
All of it
The whole kit and caboodle means everything—the entire collection or group, with nothing left out.
Kit suggests a set of tools or supplies; caboodle (rarely used alone) reinforces totality.
The phrase is emphatic and slightly folksy: They packed up the whole kit and caboodle and moved to Montana.
Sometimes shortened to the whole caboodle.
