Having a car emergency kit is a must for every car owners. The question is, what are the most important things you need to have in your emergency kits? Here are some tips.
In packing your own car emergency kit, you should consider the area and climate you are living in. For example, people living in the north should consider including tools appropriate for the weather such as ice scrapers and snow shovels. On the other hand, southerners may consider putting rain ponchos and umbrellas in their kit.
Meanwhile, the following items are a must, regardless of where your location is. For safety essentials, include a first aid kit, fire extinguisher, reflective warning triangles, flashlight and gloves.
You may also want to add jumper cables, foam tire sealant, tow strap and tire gauge as part of your emergency tools. Lastly, make sure you always have your cellphone fully charged, as well as a power bank and extra charging cable in your kit.
