There
are some basic items that everyone should have in their car. In 2011, it’s rare that you’ll be found
stranded, with the emergence of features that come equipped with every vehicle,
but there are some things you GOTTA have in your vehicle. In today’s blog, we discuss some crucial
items for daily commuters.
Jumper
Cables – These nifty cables are a lifesaver.
I can’ even count how many times it’s saved me from a stranded
situation. If you forget to turn off
your lights, leave your car parked for a long time, or just have an older
battery, jumper cables are awesome. We recommend
the AAA Heavy
Duty 16′ 6 Gauge Booster Cable.
12-Volt
Mini Air Compressor – This small compressor is powered by the vehicle via the
cigarette power jack and includes a built-in dial air pressure gauge. You can use this to top off your tires before
a long trip. This saves money and keeps
your vehicle riding great.
Jack
Stands – these are very important because they add a safety precaution for when
you change your flat tire. Also, you
should only change your flat tire if you’re in a safe location. Get a set of sturdy jacks that feature pawl-and-tooth
design and a one-piece multi-position ductile ratchet bar for extra strength.
First
Aid Kit – Be prepared for anything with a fully equipped first-aid kit. These usually include: bandages, gloves, butterfly closures, an instant cold pack,
tape, antibiotic ointment, cotton tips, burn cream ointment, finger splints,
alcohol prep pads, a first aid guide, sting relief prep pads, gauze pads,
sterile antiseptic prep pads, scissors, and a roll of gauze.
These
items will be helpful, as well as the features readily available for your
vehicle. Feel free to add your own
components.
