Three Handy Tools You Should Invest In for Your Car

With springtime just on the horizon, many of us are itching to get out of the house and take a road trip! Wherever you travel this spring, it is always a good idea to be prepared before you hit the road. We at Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram are pretty familiar with maintenance issues, and we know that the last thing you want to deal with while you’re on the road is a flat tire or a dead battery. Whether you’re taking a road trip or just driving around town, these three tools we’ve shared below are definitely worth the investment to get you out of a sticky situation!

Portable Car Jump Starter

A portable car jump starter is a valuable tool to keep in your car no matter where you’re driving. With a car jump starter, you don’t have to be dependent on a kind stranger to jump your dead battery for you. What happens if you get stuck on the side of the road in a rural area? Sure, you could call AAA, but that could take hours. Just pull out your handy car jump starter, hook up the cables and in a few minutes you’ll be ready to head back out on the road. Portable car jump starters will cost you just 50$-200$, they can fully recharge at home in a few hours, and some can jump your car up to 10 times without recharging. Plus, many car jump starters on the market offer other features like USB charging ports, power outlets, and more. Shop for Portable Car Jump Starters now.

Portable Air Compressor and Tire Pressure Gauge

Your vehicle can have fancy features like 360-degree bird’s-eye view cameras, automatic parallel parking or a massive 12-inch touchscreen like the Ram 1500, but they won’t get you from point a to point b like your four wheels will! Keeping your tires in good shape is incredibly important for your safety on the road, and keeping them inflated to your manufacturer’s recommendations is vital to keeping them in tip-top shape. Most combo portable air compressor and tire pressure gauges will connect to your 12-volt car plug or a 110-volt wall outlet for use. Simply plug in, then you can test your tire pressure and inflate as needed. This portable combo compressor and pressure gauge from Kensun is lightweight and compact for easy storage. 

Vehicle Emergency Escape Tool

A wise, old scholar once said, “expect the unexpected.” Unfortunately, accidents happen on the road, and a vehicle emergency escape tool could frankly make the difference between life and death. If you get in a collision and are trapped inside your car, an emergency escape tool can break through tough vehicle glass with a sharp, hammer-style head, and release your safety belt with a razor-sharp seat belt cutter. It’s always best to remain in the car and wait for first responders to get you out if you can, but if you’re in a sinking car or vehicle fire, an emergency escape tool can help you and yours live to see another road trip.
