Guides

• What to carry for flat tires: The tire kit we carry on roadside calls: what each piece is for, and where the cheap version is fine.
• Jump starter or jumper cables?: Why we carry a jump starter pack, which size to get, and the small tools that turn a jump start into a real fix.
• Car lockout tools: what actually works: The wedge-and-reach-tool method we use on lockouts, how to avoid damage, and why we don't use a slim jim on modern cars.
