You Should Always Keep These 6 Harbor Freight Finds In Your Car
By DANIEL TROCK
Even if you consider yourself a safe driver, many unforeseen circumstances can leave you stranded, making an emergency kit essential for your car.
A proper emergency kit contains items like a fire extinguisher and jumper cables. However, there are some Harbor Freight products you should consider adding to your kit.
Rain Slicker
Changing a flat tire during a rainstorm can be a miserable experience, making Harbor Freight’s Emergency Rain Slicker from Western Safety a vital investment.
You can easily fold this bright-yellow compact poncho to fit safely in your glovebox, and it’s long enough to keep most of your upper body covered up.
Work Gloves
If you need to reach somewhere in your engine, it’s a good idea to wear protective gloves, such as the Hardy Hi-Vis Polyurethane-Coated Work Gloves from Harbor Freight.
These sturdy knit gloves keep your hands warm and protected while their polyurethane material creates a reliable, non-slip grip that helps you maintain your grip on oily parts.
Knee Pads
Having to kneel on the cracked pavement to work on your car can cause serious injuries.
Luckily, Harbor Freight sells the Hard Terrain Gel Knee Pads from Ranger.
The knee pads feature a combination of heavyweight nylon, EVA foam padding, and a soft gel core to provide comfort and protection on even the roughest terrain.
Traffic Cone
Traffic cones like the Western Safety Collapsible Reflective Emergency Cone are a great way to alert other drivers to your presence during a breakdown.
This product unfolds into a 15.5-inch traffic cone made from polypropylene and polyester to make it sturdy and naturally weather-resistant.
