Basic Maintenance Tools
While the enthusiasts would tell you the list of car maintenance tools one should keep in their car for maintenance is endless, there are some basic things that you should not only have in your car but also know how to use.

Maintaining the Tires
Your car isn't going anywhere without its tires and to make sure that you get to your destination safely, having a good set of tires is very important. Taking good care of your tires using car maintenance tools does not just concern with safety though; it is also resonant with the performance of your engine. Make sure you have all the necessary tools in your car for tire maintenance which may include tire gauge, torque wrench, tire inflator, tire iron if you have not yet switched to tubeless tires and a penny. Yes, a penny, the most basic tool for checking the life and quality of the tread on your tires.
Some Miscellaneous But Important Items
In addition to the above having other basic work tools like safety goggles, safety masks, ear plug, latex gloves etc. are very useful in terms of having suitable working conditions. Additionally, having a car jack is probably the most critical item as this is not only useful for changing tires but also for any under body work that you may need to do on the roadside.
