-
Jumper Cables: Every motorist should have a pair of jumper cables and the know-how to use them. Invest in jumpers with extra-long, durable cables for reliability and safety.
-
500 Lumen Diffuser Torch: Perfect for camping, hiking, and emergencies when power is scarce. This USB-rechargeable torch emits a powerful beam, softened by the diffuser, and doubles as a high-quality silicone drinking cup.

HiLight Light Sensor: A USB-rechargeable headlamp that's hands-free and activated with a wave. Illuminate your surroundings for up to 15 hours when fully charged. Ideal for camping, hiking, or lighting up dark areas.
