Don't leave home without having these essential tools in your car or truck to be prepared for emergencies. Here are the top things I think you should keep in your vehicle.

Disclaimer: Although I bought most of these items myself, I was provided products for free from Workpro (multitool), Wurkkos (flashlight), Sofirin (flashlight, I bought the headlamp), 711L (sachets), GOOLOO (jumpstarter and inflator), XTOOL (ODB) but I asked for products to review and all opinions are my own.
