Some others I find essential.. pen & paper, oil, coolant (the already mixed stuff), funnel, rags or paper towels to check fluid levels, a proper jack (I keep a small floor jack in my cars) the dinky one they provide one can be a hassle, a spare tire (a full sized spare is ideal but it can take up space, so I'd stick the full one in the garage and you can use the donut tire to drive home). Glad I'm not the only one that carries an air compressor.
I found that scissor Jack's can be decent Jack stands, but that's about it. Well other than working as a way to lift the vehicle if you find that someone stole your wheels off, thieves and pranksters as they can get into tight spaces. But otherwise they're annoying and difficult to use. And thanks, been on the road long enough and when your vehicle is basically the only garage to know when this stuff came in handy when I needed it. A storage container is also a good thing as it can keep a bunch of this all organized.
@@VintageCars999 Thankfully I have yet to have any wheels stolen! Sorry to hear about that! I also keep a few extra odds and ends in the bag that I didn't mention in the video. I'm fortunate enough to have a couple toolboxes at the house that most of the big stuff can stay in.
All this thinghs will get out of shit but it is worth it .its just a small price for your vehicle reliability because over time because once you are prepared with all this there is a huge chance that you will never brake down on the side of the road
You are an amazing teacher as a Michanic.. more videos please!
God bless you!
Simple cut and dry. Good deal. Thank you!! I've been thinking about making a tool bag and I was thinking of almost everything you showed.
Nice video! Can I suggest keeping a spare key hidden outside your car in case you get locked out!
Yoooo, the IFAK is something I’ve never thought about... super great idea
You have to take care of your self first. A video on whats inside is coming soon so make sure your notifications are on. (its that little bell)
Good list 👍Batter booster/ jumpstarter. Lifesaver if out where another car and cell phone coverage is rare.
I keep an ice scraper too!
That is a good idea for those frosty mornings.
Great video. Short bungee cords are also very useful. Used it to hold muffler up as it was starting to fall off.
I keep many tools in my car too even mechanic don’t have my friends all where u got 😁✌️

The air compressor came after the spare was found flat. Your additions to the list are great ideas. Scissor jacks are notoriously unstable.

I would add some channel locks to your kit. I have have channel locks and vise grips get me out of a lot of jamms where no other tool would do
