NOCO Boost.jpg
Noco Boost GB20 500A UltraSafe Jump Starter

A NOCO lithium jump starter with 500 amps peak, which the maker says gives up to 20 starts per charge on petrol engines up to 4 litres. It has spark-proof and reverse-polarity protection, so connecting it wrongly is very hard. A flat battery on a frosty morning stops being a problem. Doubles as a torch and phone charger.

Traction Boards.jpg
Tangzon 2PCS Recovery Traction Boards, Portable Emergency Traction Tracks

Two plastic traction boards that you wedge under spinning wheels to grip in mud, snow, ice, or sand. They give the tyres something to bite on so you can drive out. Useful for anyone living on a rural lane, parking on grass, or driving in winter.

snow brush.jpg
Snow Shovel, Ice Scraper and Snow Brush Kit 

A compact snow kit with a shovel, brush, ice scraper, and squeegee on an extending aluminium pole. It folds into a small bag for the car boot. When snow catches the country out, as it does every few years, you can clear the car and the drive without improvising with a dustpan.

Milestone fleece.jpg
Milestone Camping 24680 Thermal Polar Fleece 

A soft, lightweight polar fleece blanket for camping and road trips. Leave one in the car through winter: if you're stuck in traffic or broken down, it keeps everyone warm without running the engine. Also good for picnics.

AA deicer.jpg
AA Car Essentials Pack 1L Fast-Acting De-Icer (2-pack)

Two one-litre bottles of fast-acting AA de-icer for windscreens and headlights. Clear glass all round is a legal requirement before you drive, not just good sense. Keep one in the car and one at home, so you're not left scraping with a credit card.

Car Jack Kit.jpg
GilesEdward 2 Tonne Scissor Jack Kit for Car SUV Universal Tyre Change Tool Set 

A two-tonne scissor jack kit with a lifting range of 11cm to 40cm, suiting low saloons and higher SUVs, plus tools for changing a wheel. Many cars no longer come with a full jack kit, so check yours. Always use on firm, level ground and follow your car handbook.

Noco Air10.jpg
Noco Air10: Ultra-fast 10A Tire Inflator – 12V Portable Air Compressor 

A NOCO portable tyre inflator delivering 36 litres a minute from a 12V socket, for tyres up to 31 inches. It fills faster than many older inflators. Checking and topping up tyre pressure saves fuel and makes driving safer, and it turns a slow puncture into something you can deal with.

Umbrella.jpg
Weatherman Premium Collapsible Travel Umbrella

A collapsible travel umbrella with a fibreglass frame that resists breaking and inverting. The maker says its vented canopy withstands winds of up to 55mph. A sturdy umbrella in the car means you can get out to check a problem without getting soaked.

Holts Tyreweld.jpg
Holts Tyreweld Puncture Sealant 500ml, Emergency Tyre Repair Foam 

A 500ml can of Holts Tyreweld foam that temporarily seals a puncture and reinflates the tyre, so you can drive slowly to a garage. It's a common alternative to a spare wheel. Tell the tyre fitter you've used it, and follow the speed and distance limits on the can.

goretex boots.jpg
Merrell Speed Strike Gore-TEX Walking Boots

Merrell Speed Strike walking boots with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining, protective toe and heel caps, and odour-resistant treatment. Keep a pair in the car through winter: if you break down in rain or snow and need to walk, smart shoes won't do.

A 13-piece breakdown kit including a warning triangle, jump leads, a high-vis vest, a tow rope, fuses, a torch, a tyre pressure gauge, and a foil blanket.

Duct Tape.jpg
Duct Tape 48mm x 18m (3-pack) Waterproof Gaffer Tape

Three rolls of black waterproof duct tape, each 18m long and 48mm wide. The famous fix for almost anything: a cracked bucket, a torn tent, a flapping bin bag over a broken window. A roll in the car and a roll at home is never a waste.

leatherman.jpg
Leatherman 2H Wave+ Multi-Tool - 18-in-1 Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Tool

Leatherman's 18-tool Wave+, with pliers, wire cutters, screwdrivers, scissors, and blades that open and lock quickly. Many tools are reachable without opening it. A sturdy, versatile tool for the car and the toolbox. Note that UK law restricts carrying locking knives in public without good reason.

road flares.jpg
AA LED Road Flares

AA-branded LED road flares with nine light modes, including flashing and SOS. Placed behind a broken-down car, they warn other drivers far more visibly than hazard lights alone, without the fire risk of traditional flares. Reusable and weatherproof.

Fireshield.jpg
FireShield 1Kg ABC Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher & Astroplast Van & Truck First Aid Kit

A 1kg ABC dry powder extinguisher paired with a first aid kit sized for vans and trucks. The extinguisher handles class A, B, and C fires, and it's a sensible pairing for cars, vans, caravans, and boats. Read the instructions before you need it.

Flitronic Budget Grab Bag.avif
Lightweight Travel Gym Duffel (Budget Grab Bag)

If you ever have to leave home for a few days, to stay with family or at a rest centre, a grab bag won’t hold everything. This 73-litre holdall takes spare clothes, a blanket, and toiletries. It has two carry handles, a detachable shoulder strap, and three outer pockets. One of them keeps wet shoes or damp clothes away from everything else. It weighs 0.9kg and folds flat when it isn’t needed.

Bonnlo Jerry can.jpg
Bonnlo 20L Metal Jerry Diesel/Petrol Fuel Can with Flexi Spout

A 20-litre steel jerry can for petrol or diesel, with a flexible spout. If you keep fuel at home for a generator or garden machinery, a proper metal container matters. There are legal limits on storing petrol at home, so check the current HSE guidance, and store it away from the house.

Travelite Medium Grab Bag.avif
Travelite large travel bag
(Mid-range Grab Bag)

A light bag that folds away until you need it. If you have to stay somewhere else for a night or two, it holds spare clothes, toiletries, and phone chargers. Inside, a zipped waterproof pocket keeps damp clothes or a wet towel away from everything else. You can carry it by hand, on one shoulder, or across your body, and it weighs 0.63kg. It comes with a luggage tag for your contact details.

Thule premium Grab Bag.jpg
Thule Chasm 90l Duffel Bag
(Premium Grab Bag)

A duffel that turns into a backpack, so you can carry it on your back if you have to walk any distance. The wide opening lets you see everything at a glance, and inner mesh pockets keep chargers, medicines, and other small items easy to find. It’s made from weather-resistant tarpaulin. Compression straps stop things sliding to the bottom, and the shoulder straps tuck away. All the fabric, webbing, and mesh is recycled.

Mechanix Gloves.avif
Mechanix Wear Men's FastFit Gloves

Thin, close-fitting gloves for clearing up after a storm or a leak: moving wet boxes, clearing branches, or carrying supplies. The synthetic leather palm protects your hands but still lets you handle small things easily. Elastic cuffs pull on and stay put, and the fabric is designed to keep your hands cool. You can use your phone without taking them off, and they’re machine washable. They aren’t cut-resistant, so don’t handle broken glass in them.

showa glove.jpg
Showa Impact Protection Glove

Heavier-duty gloves for clearing up after a storm or a flood. The nitrile foam coating grips well when things are wet or greasy, and flexible rubber shields on the backs of your hands and fingers take the knocks when you’re shifting heavy things. They resist wear and still let your fingers move easily, so you can keep them on for a long job. Check the cut rating on the listing before you handle broken glass.

Seven Oceans Emergency Food Ration Biscuits

A 500g block of nine lifeboat ration biscuits, 2,400 calories in all, ready to eat straight from the waterproof pack. The maker gives a shelf life of 2.5 to 4.5 years from manufacture, so check the date on the box. It copes with a car boot that bakes in summer and freezes in winter. NATO approved.
