Top 5 Tools to Keep in Your Car

The key is to find some very good quality, practical tools
that won’t take up much real estate.
They’ll save you time and give you peace of mind.

Mogix
digital tire gauge with flashlight – you’re going to want to have this
handy tool within reach of you at all times.
Tuck it into the door storage compartment on the driver’s side, for
example. It has everything you need to
check your tire inflation (both day and night since it also has a flashlight). Its
tread depth gauge lets you know whether you’re still driving on tires fit for
the road. It also has you covered in
case the worst should happen because it features a seatbelt cutter and glass
hammer that could be critical in escaping acrushed vehicle or one that is sinking in water.
·
Kobalt Multi-Drive Wrench – this single wrench
has pretty much everything you need for dozens of sizes of nuts and bolts. It has a massive number of sizes, features
and possibilities. If you need to loosen
it or tighten it, this will do it, all from a small 10 inch auto tool.
·
Duct tape – this may sound silly, but no auto
emergency tool kit should be without it.
It can provide a temporary fix for a shocking number of problems. When you’re seriously in a bind, this can be
enough to get you to a repair shop.
·
Jumper cables – you may not think you’ll ever
suffer from a dead battery, but when it happens, you’ll give yourself a pat on
the back for having decided to throw a set of jumper cables into your trunk.
·
Thermal blanket – these are usually made of wool
or mylar. The mylar option takes up only
a tiny amount of space but is highly effective.
Wrap it all the way around you and the reflectivity of the sheet will
hold your body heat in. Equally, it can
keep hot sunlight out. When you’re
really stuck, it can also serve as an emergency reflector.
