Why is this a good deal? 💰

A high-quality set of jumper cables alone will run you around $25 on average. If you were to add up the cost of every item in this kit, it would be well beyond $50.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Anyone who has a car needs a set of jumper cables. At some point, your battery will die (especially with frigid weather here) and a set of cables can help get you back on the road so you can buy a replacement battery.

Of course, if you're doing any sort of work on the side of the road, you want to be visible, so the safety vest is a great addition. The reflectors help other vehicles see you if you have car troubles at night. If you have to change a tire, the gloves will help protect your knuckles from the asphalt. There's also a first aid kit to take care of any small injuries you might get while repairing your car (or otherwise).

Another big reason to buy? This kit includes the ultimate car safety tool: a knife for your seatbelt and a safety hammer for shattering the car window, in case you need to create another way out of your vehicle. It's something everyone should keep on hand and within reach.

What reviewers say 💬

Over 1,600 happy customers give this roadside emergency kit five stars.

Pros 👍

"This kit has multiple tools and safety products. Much different and better than ones you find in department stores," said one five-star reviewer. "Haven't had to use it yet, but feel safe knowing I have these items available in my car if needed in an emergency. It has a nice carry bag and it fits nicely in the compartment in the back of my car."

Added another five-star customer: "The kit has lots of vital equipment that can be used to help you get out [of] a potential trouble in the event of mechanical troubles. Nice to have a first aid kit in it."

Another happy customer purchased this kit after buying an older vehicle. "I wanted something relatively cheap and took a gamble on purchasing this kit. It had a few reviews and seemed like it would fit the bill. I was very surprised on how much stuff they stuffed in here! It really has everything I would need to do a jump, change a fuse, tire or just make sure other cars can see it."

Cons 👎

Not everyone thought this kit was perfect. "Some of the items are useful. The pressure gauge is accurate, but feels like a 50-cent toy. The little first aid kit and space blanket are good to have," cautioned a four-star reviewer. They added: "Toss out the plastic tool case and wrap the tools you're going to keep in a small towel. It takes less space, which allows you to add more tools, and gives you something to wipe your hands on."

Another four-star customer echoed this sentiment. "While none of the items included were top-of-the-line in construction or quality, they weren't half bad either. Actually, I would even say pretty darn good for the price. Mostly, it is a very convenient little [grab-and-go] basic assortment in a fairly compact package."
