My car used to be bereft of any tools. A mere flat tire or dead battery would have required me to call someone for help, and that feeling sucked. I polled every car-competent person I knew, and from their recommendations, assembled a kit of what everyone should keep in their car. And Prime Day is a spectacular time to buy these essentials.
A trunk organizer
Having one spot to keep everything organized, easy to reach and in sight will be a welcome change. Plus, your stuff won’t roll all over the place.
An electric jump starter
Jumper cables are a must, but if you’re not around other people, or don’t want to have to rely on strangers, a jump starter will ensure you can restart your car yourself. I actually have this model and have used it more than once. It’s easier to use on neighbors' and friends' cars than to try and maneuver my car into place to jump them from my car battery.
A portable tire inflator
I had bought manual tire pressure gauges, but was never sure I was using them right. Switching to a digital gauge gave me more confidence. Marrying it with an inflator, so I always knew that my tires had the right pressure, was a game changer.
A basic car tool kit
These tool kits have most of the tools you’d need to do basic repairs on your car. And having them with you will give you some peace of mind.
First aid kit
Hopefully you don’t need to crack this kit open, but even if it's just for a bandaid, it’s nice to know you have it nearby. And $46 is a very reasonable price to pay for first aid.&
