A special gift can save lives

When it comes to choosing a gift for the holiday season, why not forget the traditional gifts that are cosmetics, gift cards and wine bottles?

A gift that can save lives

Why not think outside the box and offer a troubleshooting kit that would stay in the vehicle all the time? And the choice is vast, because there are more or less complete kits on the market whose prices vary accordingly. For example, in a nylon or plastic pouch, there is usually an emergency blanket, candles, brass wire, work gloves, ultra-rigid gummed tape, a nylon cable and often a reflective jacket. Emergency rockets.

In more elaborate kits, there is a flashlight with built-in dynamo which allows to always having light, without counting on batteries. Others are equipped with a miniature shovel or an electric air pump.

The Why of Candles and Lanterns

Many question the relevance of candles or lanterns in such a kit, not so much for lighting, but rather for the heat released, which warms the cabin somewhat in cold weather. These objects used together with an emergency cover with reflective surface will keep you warm before the arrival of rescue.

Working gloves will allow you, for example, to carry out emergency work without damaging your hands. For brass wire and gummed tape, they could be used together to hold a piece that has just given way.

As long as you give a gift of dubious utility, a troubleshooting kit and safety vest can make all the difference if you are the victim of a breakdown or an accident.
