I would add the following: -Tow or recovery strap -Doyle Screwdrivers - I like the demolition 2 screwdriver set for the cost and functionality -The ICON SMALL bit ratchet set -Fuses - I think you said you're going to add them -Mylar Blankets OR Mylar Rain Poncho - in case it's cold, raining and/or injuries. These are less than $10 on Amazon. I know, not HF but important safety. -A tire inflator that runs off cig lighter -Tire pressure gauge -Jumper cables -Maybe rechargeable batter jump pack - but yeah you have to keep it charged -Battery operated head lamp - a flashlight is great but you also might want a head lamp -The 3/8 and 1/4 extendable ratchet - you seem to have the sockets already but the extendable ratchet may help -Foam Kneeling Pad - extremely helpful -Moving blanket - if you need to work in a messy location, this can protect your clothes and is inexpensive -Tape of some sort - both electrical and something to hold things like bumpers to your car like Gorilla or Duck Tape -Hand cleaner -Small pack of microfiber towels -Small bundle of paracord -Locking pliers That's all I can think of
a new 1 gallon gas tank if you run out of fuel, funnel. i usually keep a empty plastic bottle in my vehicle too if i need to make a funnel or get water or you know, if you ever gotta pee somewhere with no bathroom.
The Gordon Leatherman Clone. Would be a great addition to the roadside kit. I’m a big fan of the Leatherman! Another great video guys. I look forward to them.
PS - this is a great x-mas gift, with some additions (tire inflator, set of screwdrivers and/or multitool, etc.) for my kids - and myself. Good start on the roadside kit. Thanks!
A few weeks ago I grabbed 3 of the small Pittsburgh 12 volt 100 psi air compressors when they were on clearance for $29, plus 40% off of that price for ITC members. I think they were like $18 each at that point. I keep one in my Jeep at all times but I got 3 more, 1 for each of my stepsons to keep in their vehicles. I also grabbed them 3 of those tire plug kits that you guys showed in this video. I think these are invaluable and inexpensive purchases that’ll give them (and me) some piece of mind knowing if they get a flat they can hopefully take care of the situation.
Look forward to your videos when you upload them...my moment of zen, as it were. Great ideas, sometimes goofy, but always filled with warmth and honesty - thank you both.
Add jump pack, air compressor, Philips and standard screwdriver, duct tape, wire,wire connectors, wire crimp pliers, Open box end wrenches, knife or leather man type multi tool (quality one), small tarp and moving blanket (some Times it is wet or snow) small shovel, tow strap.. Not sure all can fit in the provided bag but can be creative and pack around spare etc. Personally I would forget dog bone and funny adjustable wrench and include a standard one. Great video hopefully will get some to think about options other than AAA.
Hahahaha I wasn't where I could watch the video yet and your thumbnail had me running to the app and the website to look at this. I will say I have been building mine over the last year and I use the Hercules10inTool Tote. I was so tickled you brought out the four way because I have had it in my car a couple of years and have used it to help a couple of people who did have something. Another thing I put in mine is the 22 piece Pittsburgh wrenches because they go on sale a lot and it has both Metric and SAE. A good jump pack is a life saver. I have the 1200 peak amp from Viking (the gray one, with out the air pump) but they do have one the glove box style that are pretty good. I have a Crown Vic so I wanted the more tried and true plus bigger, I do have a beast of a battery powered air compressor from Kobalt but the HF have many options for that as well.
I've been meaning to recommend the Warrior 4v cordless power cutter.. I use it to open mail and break apart all the Amazon boxes.. you should feature it on a video guys.. Saludos from Texas..
Good video. I like most of the stuff in your bag. :) Car/van: I always keep a HF expandable 1/2" ratchet (SKU: 59847 way better than that 4way thing) and a HF deep socket that fits my lug nuts. HF also now has a small lithium jump starter. Tire air pump. Scissors. Recovery Strap. Tire Plug kits. Truck/Suburban: Same as above PLUS the 1/2" breaker bar, ratchet straps, screwdriver set, pick set, wrench set, pliers set. First aid kit. Gloves. Winter time in the North: moving blanket, survival (silver foil) blanket. I'll likely buy the survival kit SKU: 59708. HF used to sell little boxes of windproof matches and I still have 'em. Folding utility shovel 'cuz snow sucks. Yeah, I'm crazy. I also used to carry a small HF trolley style floor jack before I got AAA. I like the duct tape idea in the comments. Red Green would carry a dozen of 'em.
I have 1 on those Braun flashlights in every car. They fact that it is rechargeable is not a negative but a positive. They last a very long time on a charge, I would venture to say twice as long as you will get out of alkaline batteries. The magnet base and swivel head makes it perfect to work on cars. I love using them when doing brakes, just pop it inside wheel well and you're good to go.
Nice! I repurposed an old DeWalt T-Stak box for my Mustang’s emergency kit! I’d recommend adding some jumper cables, a pry bar, a socket extension, and one of HF’s many trim removal tool sets lol. Also just a heads up on the tire repair kit, I’ve heard mixed reviews on that one. Apparently the handle is very flimsy and can actually slip down the metal and pierce your hand 😮 The Maddox one is great tho. Keep up the great vids!
If you add. BREAKER BAR you do not need the lug wrench. Get a set of wrenches and ditch the dog bone . Add electrical tape and duct tape to kit. You guys make the best videos.
I think I would've upgraded the tire plug kit to the Maddox at harbor freight not sure if I would trust that set. I would definetely add an air compressor because what good is a tire plug kit without air, I would add jumper cables, I believe harbor freight has a portable jump box if you wanted. I think the steel zip ties would be better than the plastic. I do like the idea of wire I should've had that in mine. Quinn makes a master 3/8 set that's nice. Maybe some box wrenches. Plastic trim tools, utility knife,multi screwdriver or least way to put the bits in a socket and used that way.
My Hercules 3/4" impact stays in my jeep with impact sockets plus an additional socket set plus a few other must haves. If its an suv....make sure the tools are secured (tied down) an accident with that stuff flying will get you hurt bad if not worse.
I have the correct size 1/2” impact socket in each car we own. I also have some of the 1/4” impact driver adapters to socket in case I only have an impact driver handy.
You need a 12 V battery supply. You can get it Harbor freight. And they will fit in that bag. It looks like a cell phone charger. And they work really good. I had I get one for all my cars from Harbor freight.
I teach electrical classes for dealers, that HF multimeter is the one we tell them NOT to use. As the battery starts dropping in voltage the readings will change and not be reliable.
I believe in an emergency, exact precision is not needed. I have an Innova 3320 in my grab bag as a field mechanic. It works great for quick checks like you'd be doing in an emergency. I have a Fluke for when I'm chasing bigger issues. Cheap multimeters will getcha by though.
Have a spare tire that's not rusted to the bottom of your truck. Along with a jack and most importantly show your kids and wife how to safely change a tire. Knowledge is power!
Word of caution on that tire repair kit, those plastic handles on the reamer and the needle have been known to fail and it's not fun to stab yourself in the palm. Personally I found it worthwhile to spend a bit more and get a kit that comes with metal tools. They do offer a Maddox tire repair kit for about $22 that has metal tools so you can still stay all HF. As for additional stuff, they have a small tire inflator from Pittsburgh that isn't very expensive. It's not the fastest, but if you've got to plug a tire you're going to need to inflate it as well. Also, one of those viking jump packs. They have 1000 and 2000 amp depending on the engine size you need to jump. Personally I use a capacitor jump pack that never needs charging but HF doesn't sell one of those. And finally, if your car comes with one of those sketchy scissor jacks that were the cheapest thing the manufacturer could bundle in, you might think about a decent bottle jack as well as a wheel chock.
I watched this video the other day before work so just commenting now but I have two inexpensive items from harbor freight I keep in my truck one is the light that plugs into your cigarette lighter very brite and a red hanging light with magnet it's a red light flashing light with regular flash light all in one found these two be handy in a roadside situation
The Pittsburgh tool set with case 130 piece would have covered 90% of the tools you guys have and also a air compressor to plug a tire and a small two ton jack
You forgot the most important thing. The new Viking lithium ion jump starter. You have a tire plug kit, but how will you pump the tire up? You need an inflator.
If money was no object, I would include a Hercules 1/2" Impact Wrench (any), Pittsburgh air inflator, Pittsburgh Pro lug nut impact socket set, Quinn 1/2" preset lug nut torque wrench, Hercules 12Ah 20v battery, Pittsburgh 2 ton compact trolley jack and the Maddox tire repair kit.
You guys missed a few very important items that is definitely important to carry. Pittsburgh air compressor, battery jump starter, first aid kit, knife, & duct tape
The dog bone wrench is a joke. Through those flash lights and batteries in the trash. Because every time you need them they are dead. Those batteries are a waste of money. Replace them with a rechargeable one like you showed . I would add a combination wrench set and screw drivers. I personally keep one of the 225 pcs tool kits in all three of my vehicles. But you have a great idea I like it a lot
I see the Price family doing a Harbor Freight video I smash that like button.💥👍
Thanks
I would add the following:
-Tow or recovery strap
-Doyle Screwdrivers - I like the demolition 2 screwdriver set for the cost and functionality
-The ICON SMALL bit ratchet set
-Fuses - I think you said you're going to add them
-Mylar Blankets OR Mylar Rain Poncho - in case it's cold, raining and/or injuries. These are less than $10 on Amazon. I know, not HF but important safety.
-A tire inflator that runs off cig lighter
-Tire pressure gauge
-Jumper cables
-Maybe rechargeable batter jump pack - but yeah you have to keep it charged
-Battery operated head lamp - a flashlight is great but you also might want a head lamp
-The 3/8 and 1/4 extendable ratchet - you seem to have the sockets already but the extendable ratchet may help
-Foam Kneeling Pad - extremely helpful
-Moving blanket - if you need to work in a messy location, this can protect your clothes and is inexpensive
-Tape of some sort - both electrical and something to hold things like bumpers to your car like Gorilla or Duck Tape
-Hand cleaner
-Small pack of microfiber towels
-Small bundle of paracord
-Locking pliers
That's all I can think of
Thanks that’s great stuff
a new 1 gallon gas tank if you run out of fuel, funnel. i usually keep a empty plastic bottle in my vehicle too if i need to make a funnel or get water or you know, if you ever gotta pee somewhere with no bathroom.

Great idea on the roadside kit
The Handys Man secret weapon: DUCT TAPE😂

Hey Guys! Might want to add Tire Inflater and Jump starter Pack. I think every Auto should have both!
Take the batteries outta the lights to prevent . A good mini jump box ius a must. Smart little package. A reflative belt of vest should be included.
Thanks
Y’all need to get you a small compressor. Learned the hard way on that one.
Yes
Love the video
Can’t forget the Pittsburgh air inflator for your tires in case you need to use the plugs!
Your right
I would add wire strippers that can also crimp and a set of wire terminals with butt splices, ring terminals, and spade terminals.
Your right

A few shop towels and maybe some hand sanitizer. After changing a tire or whatnot it's nice to be able to clean up the hands.
Good idea

What you need to change every spark plug, and the ICON Micro-Rachet Set.
Thanks
If you have an old car, you may need a fire extinguisher. Although a wet blanket or towel from gallon of water will also work in most cases.
Are you going to do a show for the HF Parking lot sale next week? All Icon ratchets are 40% off plus some other really good deals.
Maybe
a couple of bottles of water and emergency blanket
That’s a great idea
If you add. BREAKER BAR you do not need the lug wrench. Get a set of wrenches and ditch the dog bone . Add electrical tape and duct tape to kit. You guys make the best videos.

You had it right the first time. "Starter ain't..."

I like the new flashlights the plug directly in the cigarette lighter to recharge. I keep one in each vehicle and one in my pocket
Good idea
You need a 12 V battery supply. You can get it Harbor freight. And they will fit in that bag. It looks like a cell phone charger. And they work really good. I had I get one for all my cars from Harbor freight.
That is the exact socket set I have. 😂

You forgot the most important thing. The new Viking lithium ion jump starter. You have a tire plug kit, but how will you pump the tire up? You need an inflator.

You forgot a pair of screwdrivers.😁
You need first aid kit, fire extinguisher, jump starter battery pack.

Razor blades and some good electrical tape
