  • Sterilized gauze pads.
  • Plastic band strips.

  • Small scissors.
  • Aspirin or other pain relievers.
  • Tweezers.
  • Something to relieve itching, burning eyes.
  • Hand sanitizer.

A good vehicle tool kit should include at a minimum the following

  • Screwdrivers - Phillips and flat head.

  • Set of good socket wrenches.
  • Duct tape.

  • Small fire extinguisher.
