Car Tools

Suppose your car broke down on a highway. You're in the middle of nowhere and all you need to get going again is a screwdriver. But you don't have a screwdriver. You'd be kicking yourself, no doubt.

Automobiles are very reliable, but "sh*t happens". We all know it does. We just hope it doesn't happen to us. But is there any way to ameliorate the consequences if it does happen to us?

Yes. Carry a few simple tools with you in your car. A few simple, inexpensive tools might be able to get your car going again—if only you had them.

So I ordered a small, inexpensive toolset to put in the back of my Jeep. It was about $24 with tax. It took 10 days to get to my door, but shipping was free and I was not in a rush to get it.

After I placed my order, my partner Nuria ordered one, too. For some reason known only to the Delivery Gods, her order arrived at our home before mine. Go figure.

So, $24 including tax. I hope I never need to use them.

Oh, I almost forgot. I know someone is curious. I bought them from temu.com.
