Warning Triangle:
It’s like a little red superhero that warns other drivers to proceed with caution. Just remember, when placing it behind your broken-down vehicle, make sure it’s at a distance of 45 meters (or just a really good arm’s length). Safety first, even if we can’t quite measure it without a tape measure!
Car Jack:
Meet the muscle of emergency situations. This handy tool comes in all shapes and sizes to lift anything from small cars to big trucks. It’s like having a personal weightlifter for your vehicle. Just make sure to choose one that can handle the weight, always consult your, vehicle owner’s manual, everything you need is in there! To learn more about Car Jacks, read our article: “Automotive Jacking and Lifting Tools.”
Jumper Cables:
Time for a shocking revelation! Jumper cables are your savior when your car’s battery decides to take a nap. But beware, jump-starting a car is a delicate art. Follow the steps carefully, or you might end up with more sparks than fireworks show. We don’t want your engine going boom! I Highly recommend that you read our article on: “How To Jump Start a Vehicle.”
Fuses – Assortment:
These little heroes protect your car’s electrical systems from going haywire. They come in different types, like the mystery flavors of a candy bag. Just check your fuse box or consult your mechanic to find the perfect match. It’s like a puzzle, but with fewer frustrations and more electric triumphs!
Fire Extinguisher:
You never know when things might get a little hot under the hood. That’s where the fire extinguisher comes in. It’s your trusty sidekick to keep small fires from turning into a blazing inferno. Opt for a dry powder extinguisher, because water is great for splashing, not for firefighting!
Flashlight / Headlight:
Shed some light on any dark situation with a trusty flashlight. Remember, your flashlight needs some love too, so don’t leave it baking under your car seat or in the sun.
Air Compressor 12V:
Need some air power on the go? Look no further than a 12-volt air compressor. It’s like having a portable breeze in your trunk, ready to inflate anything that needs a little pump. Just hook it up to your car’s battery, and you’re in business. Inflate away, my friend!
Flat Tire Kit:
Ah, the dreaded flat tire. But fear not! Midas Bredasdorp has got your back with a variety of flat tire essentials. Whether you need a complete kit or just some specific items, they’ll hook you up. Just remember, tire patches are like superheroes too, but they prefer not to be patched more than once. One patch, one superhero status!
Basic First Aid Kit:
Accidents happen, like that time you slammed your child’s fingers in the car door. Ouch! A basic first aid kit is a lifesaver in those moments. Plus, you might even come across an accident or an injured motorist and be their hero. Talk about being a true Wonder Woman!
Water:
H2O, the elixir of life! Keep a stash of 5 liters in your boot for emergencies. It’s perfect for cooling down a hot radiator or cleaning up after fixing something along the road. Just remember, this water isn’t for drinking, unless you want to experience some unexpected adventures in the bathroom!
