Now when the air temp goes down, my finger reminds me of the necessity of having a set of quality tools with me on road trips.
I always keep my tools in my car because you just never know whatll happen like today my battery was real weak so i changed it an i needed metric tools to get to the stupid thing and nobody else in my family has any metric tools. I also have a set of jumpers and a tow strap, ive used the strap several times but only used the jumpers for everybody else but never for my car .
