Always have a spare keyboard and mouse on hand. i've been doing this for years and i've always been partial to the "Logitech K120". I actually saw two spare logitech K120's in my closet next to another keyboard and decided to look it up on amazon. this thing is now going for $19.99 and up and i'm thinking "I aint pay $20 for a keyboard". i check my amazon orders and I paid $8.99 for my k120 in feburary 2019 and I know I got others dor $10-$12 off of ebay brand new. Now it's minimum $14.99 brand new on ebay.

it never crossed my mind older model keyboards would get more expensive. :why:

i actually got this for someone else but it's cheaper($32) than the much larger one I own. These things come in handy especially if you're out and about often constantly using your phone. I've charged a portable speaker, portable lights and my cell phone off of these. It's way better than turning on your car just to charge your phone while you're parked.

Im planning to buy some shyt-hit-the-fan items for my car

On top of this air compressor & that tire plug kit what else do you brothas reccomend?

I keep the compressor in my wife's car, along with a lifeline roadside kit. It's only $25 and it has jumper cables, some first aid stuff, etc

http://amzn.com/B0006MQJ0M

There are much better kits out there that have stuff like road flares and shyt, but I went with the inexpensive one.

I also have an electronic jack in her car, because the factory jack is a bytch to use and I rather her not try to deal with it if she gets stranded.

They have versions that even come with an electronic wrench to take off the lugs which is nice.

I just ordered this bad boy off Amazon this week

Only 28 bucks and works like a champ. No more having to worry about scavenging quarters or waiting in any lines at gas stations to put air into tires.

I have the exact same thing except its yellow. I check my tire pressure every couple weeks now. Its so nice to have.

Don’t buy any tools from harbor freight. That shyt will fail and kill you.

anyway I copped an full sized floor jack and 4 way lug wrench as soon as I got a car. My dad was a mechanic and told me to make sure I had that on hand. It’s come in handy more than once.

also got a battery jump starter and it saved my ass once when I was out of town in some hills have eyes territory.

Just googled the floor jack and the only thing that's coming up is harbor freight.

I've been meaning to add a breaker bar to my kit , I already have deep impact sockets

Code:
https://www.amazon.com/Neiko-00206A-Premium-Breaker-Length/dp/B001222378/

everyone should get a dashcam, minimum $30 . something is better than nothing.
