Emergencies can happen anywhere, anytime, but they’re extra inconvenient (and, honestly, scarier) on the road during cooler months when it gets dark earlier. Deemed “peace of mind in a bag,” we spotted a 43-piece emergency safety kit that’s currently 21% off for the first time in weeks. Users say this kit can address all kinds of unexpected events — “from falling down at the park and needing a [bandage] to having low tire [pressure] with no service station [in sight] and needing air.” It’s got 24 pieces packaged in a handy bag that compactly stows in your vehicle, ready for basically anything life throws your way.
This emergency kit has so many tools for roadside assistance.
You’ll get a first-aid kit, seat belt cutter, window glass breaker, 12-foot tow rope gloves, flashlight, reflective warning triangle, tire pressure gauge, rain poncho, a high-visibility vest and more! What really makes it an upgrade from other kits (and well worth the price) is its portable air compressor and tire repair kit.
Users who tried to make their own kits found that this option was more affordable than buying all the items separately. “I tried to list out a few different kits to cover everything, but it turned out to be way simpler and cheaper to just get one all-in-one kit,” one wrote, calling the tire inflator “a real lifesaver” when stuck on a remote road and the whole kit a “relief” for feeling prepared during coastal winters.
Many reviews say the kit makes them feel safer when driving (or letting their teens take the car). With one noting that it “was worth the price for the peace of mind with my son now driving.”
Reviewers appreciate how quickly this emergency bag has helped them out of pinches.
Because the bag itself is orange with reflective lining, it’s much easier to spot in the dark, but the convenience doesn’t stop there.
One reviewer called out the quality of the “heavy-duty” jumper cables that “made a real difference” when their car died in negative 10 degrees. “The oversized clamps grabbed tight and my car started in under a minute,” one wrote. “No sparking, no overheating — just reliable power.”
Reviewer, Kylie, was relieved to have it during a big move. “I am SO glad i bought this kind of thing because it saved us on the road,” she wrote. “Air pressure was extremely high and [I] was able to stop on the side of the road and bring it back down before we blew a tire.”

“This car kit came in handy the other day for us as we had car trouble on the interstate. Of course we weren’t expecting trouble, but it found us. We ended up using our new kit. My husband was very thankful I had ordered this and put in the trunk of our car. The great thing is everything fit right back into the bag. We have had to use the jumper cables and the tire pressure already. I love the fact that it has a safety vest and gloves.” — Angie Dye
“This is an amazing kit that everyone should keep in their vehicle for emergencies. It really has everything you need to stay seen, safes, and protected if stranded. It also has a small first aid kit, window-breaking hammer, and tow strap for more complicated situations. This is a great addition to the vehicle of new drivers or anyone else. The materials of the contents (vest, “space blanket, gloves, etc) are a bit thin but they’ll do the job in an emergency and won’t break the bank. The jumper cables along generally cost as much as this entire kit! Get it and stay safe.” — Merriweather
“My son recently had to buy a much older car that has some problems. I have peace of mind knowing that he has this now in the event that he breaks down. It stores nicely under his back seat and contains all the components to help him get help or alert people of a breakdown. This momma feels much better with him carrying this around. Great value!!” — Lenora
“This is a fantastic emergency roadside kit. I supplemented it with a set of battery powerd “flares” and a small snow shovel that breaks down. So now I have a very complete emergency kit. Money well spent. I hope to never use it. But I have it now if I do need it.” — James Bonner
