About this product
The boot kit you hope stays unopened.
An LED headlight, an emergency poncho, non slip work gloves, eight first aid bandages and a tyre pressure gauge, in one bag.
Breaking down is mostly an inconvenience. What turns it into a bad evening is standing on a wet verge in the dark with no light and no gloves.
This kit covers that. An LED headlight so both hands are free, a poncho so you are not soaked before you start, gloves so you can grip a cold wheel nut, bandages for cuts, and a gauge so you can check the pressure once the wheel is on.
It is a boot kit, not a workshop. It does not include a jack or a wrench, so check what came with your car.
Put it in the boot and forget about it. Check the bandages and the headlight battery once a year.
The value of a roadside kit is not any single item in it. It is that all of them are in the same bag, in the boot, at the moment you need them.
The headlight is the piece most people underestimate. Changing a wheel or looking under a bonnet in the dark takes two hands, and a torch held in your teeth is not a plan. A headlight puts the light where you are looking.
Gloves matter for the same practical reason. Cold, wet wheel nuts and a road-dirty tyre are hard to grip, and a cut hand at the roadside is a genuine problem.
The tyre pressure gauge earns its place after the event. A space saver or a refitted wheel needs checking, and pressures on the door pillar sticker are the figures to work to.
Treat the first aid contents as what they are: eight bandages for small cuts and grazes. This is not a full first aid kit and it is not a substitute for calling 999 in a serious emergency.

You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

The complete guide
What to keep in the boot
4 min readOnline Auto Company
Why a kit beats loose items
Most drivers own a torch and a pair of gloves. Very few can find both in the dark on a hard shoulder.
A kit solves the finding problem. One bag, one place, everything in it.
Light first
The single most useful item in a breakdown is light you do not have to hold.
A headlight leaves both hands free for the wheel brace, the bonnet catch or the phone. It also points where you are looking, which a torch balanced on a wing does not.
Staying visible and dry
A poncho keeps you dry enough to keep working. Being soaked makes you cold, and cold makes you rush.
If you break down on a motorway, get behind the barrier and away from the vehicle before you do anything else. Visibility clothing and warning triangles are separate items worth carrying, and triangles should not be used on a motorway hard shoulder.
Gloves and grip
Wheel nuts are usually tighter than expected and always dirtier. Non slip gloves make the difference between shifting one and skinning a knuckle.
Checking pressures afterwards
If you fit a spare or a space saver, check its pressure before you drive on. Space savers often run at a higher pressure than a normal tyre and have a speed limit printed on them.
The correct pressures for your car are on a sticker in the driver's door shut or inside the fuel flap.
What this kit is not
It holds eight bandages, which covers a graze or a small cut. It is not a full first aid kit.
In a serious emergency, call 999 first and treat the kit as something to use while you wait.
Car roadside assistance kit containing one LED headlight, one emergency poncho, one pair of non slip work gloves, eight first aid bandages and one tyre pressure gauge, supplied in a single bag for boot storage. Intended for breakdowns and roadside wheel changes: the headlight leaves both hands free, gloves give grip on cold wheel nuts, and the gauge is used to check a spare or space saver before driving on. It does not include a jack or wheel brace. The first aid contents cover small cuts and grazes only and are not a substitute for a full first aid kit or for emergency medical help.
