‘Cada que’ without the accent is incorrect for the meaning ‘how often’; the correct form is ‘¿Cada cuánto?’
Tengo que revisar mi kit cada cuánto?
The natural order places the interrogative phrase at the beginning; moving it to the end sounds awkward.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, the word ‘kit’ is widely accepted, especially in technical or outdoor contexts. However, in more formal writing you might hear ‘equipo’ or ‘conjunto de herramientas’. Also, remember that the interrogative ‘cuánto’ carries an accent; writing ‘cuanto’ changes the meaning to ‘as much as’ and is a common mistake.
