Tools That Every Driver Should Have in Their Car

You never know when a situation will strike, so having the appropriate tools in your car could possibly save your life.

When you’re on the road, you expose yourself to risks that may strike in a moment’s notice. The world is a dangerous place, and when you put people in a metal box with wheels that weigh over a ton, danger is right around the corner. You may not be a mechanic, but having these tools may give you a better chance of getting home or to the nearest repair shop and save your car and your wallet. Here are the tools that every driver should have in their car.

  1. LifeHammer

This item could be a lifesaver–literally! This item should be kept near the driver’s seat, and it allows you to break a window or tear through the fabric of a seatbelt if you end up submerged, or flipped and trapped in your car. Time is of the essence when you’re short on air, or other dangers loom near.

  1. Socket & Screwdriver Set

Even on the most modern of cars, sometimes things will come loose–whether from vibration, age, or other reasons. Often a simple tightening of the loose item will fix the rattling.

  1. Jumper Cables

A dead battery is frustrating. If you ever find yourself with one, you may be out of luck if you don’t have any jumper cables. Your neighbors may have one, but if they’re not home, you’re going to be car-less all day. Heavy-gauge cables with durable, high-quality clamps are the ones you want to look for.

Tools in your car may help save your life and save you money. But how will you pay for collisions and non-collision related damages? Contact Risk Management LLC in Brookfield, Wisconsin for all of your auto insurance needs.

  • Risk Management assisted me in determining the best insurance coverage to match my business’ risks. Not only did their professional staff spend ample time meeting with me to understand my business, but they continue to follow up with a phone call on a regular basis. I’d consider each of the members on the Risk Management team a true asset in my corner, as they assist to resolve complex insurance issues including GL, Med-pay, business interruption, unemployment insurance, and most importantly, claims management. Their ongoing research in the insurance industry allows my rates and coverage’s to be best in in class, which helps me to remain competitive in my industry.

  • “When we want develop partnerships with vendors, the deciding factor is always based on a single question…Do they pick up their phone? At Risk Management, they pick up their phone. In the indoor trampoline park industry, we have dealt with several insurance agencies that were always more concerned about their commission, not building a business relationship or serving our needs. On more than one occasion, Risk Management has stepped in and helped us with carrier/policies issues that the incumbent agencies had dropped the ball on. There was no financial reward for Risk Management in these situations, they see a problem and help fix it. They just do business the right way. Steve Young and his team at Risk Management represent us, not the carrier. We highly recommend Risk Management.”
