Keep Auto Emergency Kits In Your Car

By Eric Holm





All vehicles will need auto emergency kits. An emergency can happen when it is least convenient. Sometimes it just cannot be avoided. This is why you will need an emergency kit. They can save you time and help you through a disaster also.



One of these kits can include tools to fix your car or a first aid kit. They can also have blankets, food and water in them. Granola bars and energy bars are a good thing to have in an emergency situation. A first aid kit should have bandages, gauze and scissors. It will also need to have adhesive tape, hot and cold packs, pain relievers and antibiotic ointment.



Emergency flare, flashlights with extra batteries, paper and pens are good things to include in your kit. The necessary equipment to change a tire is also important. Vehicle jacks, spare tire, lug wrench and a tire pressure gauge is needed. A tire pump or a can of air may also be important. You may be able to inflate a tire to get it to the nearest service station for repair. You may also want to include the can of air that has a sealant in it that can repair small holes.



Flat tires are not the only thing that is going to strand you. Emergency kits can also have the tools that will allow you to perform basic repairs also. Screwdrivers are important along with vise grips, pliers, an adjustable wrench, a multipurpose tool and a pocketknife. There are other things that can come in handy also. Fluids that your vehicle uses may be included also. Oil, windshield washer fluid and antifreeze are common things that are used. In the winter, it is necessary to have an ice scraper and a snow brush. Paper towels or rags along with duct tape are good things to have available to you also.



Because we live in an economy that is fast-paced, a lot of people travel. Some people may have a long drive to work or maybe you just want to take a drive. Either way it is good to be prepared. Emergency kits may eliminate some of the time that you will be stranded. It is important that you are prepared for this situation. You also need to know how to use the things in your kit.
