Nobody likes thinking about emergencies (and we all hope we’re never in one) but a little planning can go a long way towards staying safe. We’ve rounded up 6 music have items that are inexpensive, useful, and easy to pack in your car.
Our selection of must-have items varies widely in application (first aid kits are quite different from road flares) but there’s one of two broad categories each of our selected items can fit into: items that help prevent accidents and items that help you once you’ve been in an accident.
Let’s take a peek at our top picks.Siivton 6-In-1 Auto Emergency Tool ($15)
This one tool has six useful functions functions, so whether you’re in an accident, you need to get someone’s attention, or you just dropped your phone between the seats, the Siivton 6-in-1 Auto Emergency Tool can lend a helping hand (or save your life).
Let’s start by looking at the most dramatic escape-from-a-burning-car tools on the device. First, there’s seat belt cutter so you can grab the Siivton and cut yourself free if your seat belt is jammed up—be sure to keep the tool tucked near the driver seat for just such an emergency. If damage to your car results in a jammed or malfunctioned window, don’t worry: the tool includes a carbide tip hammer point located on the opposite side of the seat belt cutter that will make short work of tempered glass.
On the same end as the hammer is a flashlight, so you can not only signal to people if you need help, but you can assess your surrounding or try to find something in the dark. The body of the handle also doubles as a red emergency light that flashes in an SOS pattern when activated. The tool even has a strong magnet so you can place it on the hood of your car while the SOS light is shining. Lastly, there’s a loud whistle in case you need to attract attention and the light isn’t enough. (Although, if you’re just looking for a reliable flashlight, feel free to check out this Anker Pocket-Sized Flashlight.)
The Siivon 6-in-1 tool is exactly the kind of budget purchase that, should the kind of emergency it was intended for arise, you’ll be very thankful to have it close at hand.
