Car Tool Cabinet and All the Contents Inside

If you plan to perform your own car maintenance and repairs, you'll need a toolbox to keep your tools clean, in good condition and in one place. Look for a lightweight portable metal toolbox that will easily fit in the trunk of your vehicle and fill it with the following tools. Also, have a big tool storage cabinet at home and you will never miss it. Here are some useful tools you need to put in your cabinet.

1,Tow straps: If you have a tow strap on your car, you can have a friend tow your car for you, or you can help a friend. When your car breaks down, you don't have to spend money on a tow truck.

2,Screwdrivers: There are standard screwdrivers and Phillips screwdrivers. If a screw in your car is loose, you need to tighten it. This is why having a screw driver is very beneficial. If you have a full tool box, make sure you have a variety of different shapes and sizes so you can tighten any loose screws in your car.

3,Screw Holders: Instead of using the fingers of one hand to hold the screw in place while holding the screwdriver in the other hand, the screw is loaded into the screw holder, which is then used to insert and tighten the screw.

4,Hammer of life. The hammer of life is very useful in emergency situations. It can be used to break glass windows in the event of a flood or fire. Or it can be used to break a window in hot weather to pull a dog or child out of a locked car. Just keep it in your car at all times! Hopefully you'll never have to use it, but it's a good idea to have one just in case.

5,Wrenches: Wrenches are probably the most basic tool in automotive repair. Combination wrenches have an open end and a box end. These wrenches come in a variety of sizes, each one fitting a specific size nut, regardless of which end you use. Torque wrenches are designed to tighten nuts, bolts or screws to a precise degree to avoid over-tightening or over-tightening.

6,Tire chains: If you live in an area where it snows, tire chains are essential for holiday travel. They will provide you with better traction and ensure your safety. If you live in an area where it doesn't snow, you won't necessarily need them, but if you plan to drive in areas where it might snow, be prepared.

7,Pliers: If you have to buy pliers, the best kind is a combination slip joint pliers. You can use the sliding pins to adjust this universal tool to a variety of widths.

8,Jack: Jacks and jack stands are important if you want to look under your car. They can support your heavy vehicle so you can look underneath it without squashing it.

9,Tire pressure gauge: If you never check anything else on your car, get in the habit of checking your tire pressure regularly; it's critical for both safety and good fuel economy.

10,Ice scrapers: Likewise, if you live in an area where it snows, you should keep an ice scraper in your car. Ice scrapers help remove ice from your windshield so you can see better. If you don't have an ice scraper, you will have to rely on a defroster to melt the ice. This can take a long time if you have accumulated a thick layer of ice.

In addition to these basics, you may also need a work light. Fluorescent work lights can get their power from a car battery or cigarette lighter or plug into a wall socket. They also come with replaceable batteries, such as a flashlight.
