7 Car Tools You Should Always Have In The Car

Imagine yourself driving on a lonely highway, and your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Even though you have the expertise to deal with a car breakdown, you don't have the tools to fix it.
It is a difficult situation you don't want yourself in, right? In that case, you should always travel with a few tools that can help you in emergencies. Here's a list of seven car tools of absolute importance for every car ride.
Lifehammer
This tool might look small, but you'll be surprised how it can help you during an emergency. We highly recommend having a life hammer in your vehicle to help you cut the seatbelt or break the car's glass. This cheap tool can be your ultimate saviour in a situation where you're trapped and need help.

Tow strap
Another essential tool to store in your car is the tow strap. Your vehicle might break down in the middle of nowhere, and you might not have any workshop in the vicinity. In such a situation, a tow strap is beneficial. The tow strap makes it easier to tow your car.
Duct Tape and Scissors
You might be wondering how tape and a pair of scissors can be helpful in an emergency. Duct tape and scissors are the perfect temporary fix to those loose or hanging cables. It can also hold your broken bumpers temporarily until you get to the workshop.
Tyre Inflator
Most of us carry spare tyres, but do you ever consider giving it a regular pressure check? Likely, you might not be able to use the spare wheel because of low pressure. A tyre inflator stored in the back of your trunk comes in handy for such situations.

Wheel Clamps
On a road trip, you might not always find the perfect locations to park your vehicle. Most vehicles have gear lever locks and security alarms. If you wish to enhance the safety of your car, you can also use wheel clamps.
Jumper Cables
Jumper cables are one tool that every car owner must include in their emergency vehicle kit. Since most of us are not very regular with the maintenance of our car battery, the battery likely requires replacement. Anytime you're stuck with dying batteries, the jumper cables will rush to your rescue to save the day!
WD-40
WD-40 is a magic product that can help you lubricate anything and everything. If you need to fix your vehicle and that rusty screw won't come off, all you need is a WD-40. WD-40 can help you dissolve the grease and grime build-up.
