8 essential tool you must have in your car

Some of us keep absolutely nothing in our car trunks, while others have enough packed to live in their cars for weeks. here are essential tool you must have in your car.

When you're on the road, you're out in the world, and the world can get dangerous when you least expect it--especially if your car breaks down or runs into trouble. So what can you do about it? You're (probably) not a mechanic, after all.

Fortunately, you don't have to be a mechanic to give yourself a much better chance of getting home or to the nearest repair shop with a small kit of essential tools and equipment--and in the event of an accident or other emergency, you'll even increase your odds of survival.

This short list of essential tool encapsulates some of the most functional and likely items you'll need, while requiring minimal mechanical or other knowledge to employ. They're the basics. You could load your car up with dozens of other tools, of course, but you could also do a lot worse than keeping these inexpensive core tools with you at all times.

(Note: The items linked are merely offered as examples; there are many options within each item category, varying in quality, price, and application.)

1.  Basic Toolkit

• Life-hammer
• Socket & screwdriver set
• Duct tape
• Jumper cables
• Knife
• Tire inflator/sealer
• Tire pressure gauge
• Flashlight
•  A Jack and Jack Stands

The selection of tools above is actually pretty solid. You've got wrenches, hammer, screwdrivers, the tools you'll need to fix some basic problems that could be handled from the road, but you also have things like zip ties, duct tape, and belts that could help temporarily fix a problem long enough to drive to the nearest parts store or mechanic. 

2.  Flashlight

Try changing a tire at night without a flash light. Or working on anything else in the engine bay, for that matter. You can't. If you have one that doesn't run on batteries (those shake or crank lights will do), that's even better. 

3.  Water

You can go 12 days without food, but only 3-5 without water. Which one do you think is more important to keep with you? And we're not talking' about that flavored water shit. Just keep it basic, and you'll be good. 

4.  First Aid Kit

These things come in handy for injuries, obviously. Many kits also come with glow sticks, which can prevent you from being blind-sided by car while changing a tire at night. 

5.  On-Board Diagnostics

The service manual and toolkit are infinitely more useful when you have one of these things. Why? Because you can plug it in, and most of the time, it'll tell you exactly what's going on with your car. The ease and quickness of fixing something is infinitely better when you don't have to poke around and find the problem on your own. 

6.  Phone Charger

Nothing's worse than having a dead phone. It's bad enough when you're untethered and drop off the face of the world, but even more dire when you're stranded and have no way to call for help. Keep that charger handy and it's all good. This is a little easier these days, as you can often just keep a USB cord that plugs into the center console. Keeping a mophie-type device would work, as well. 

7.  Spare Tire 

You'd be surprised how many people either buy cars without this in the boot or use one and don't replace a spare.

8.  Jumper Cables

Don't be the guy with a dead car asking strangers for jumper cables. That guy's an idiot. Even if you're lucky enough to never need them yourself, you can be the one there to save the unprepared idiot. 

It's always good to have some basic tools in your car. one day, you will need them.
