EVERLIT Survival Car Emergency Kit, Roadside Safety Tool Kit with Gloves,Digital Auto Air Compressor Tire Inflator, First Aid Kit, 12 Feet Jumper Cable, Tow Strap, Flashlight for Women, Men, Teenagers

I keep a roadside kit in every vehicle I drive, and over the past few weeks I’ve been using the Everlit roadside kit as my all-in-one trunk companion. It’s a compact bundle that covers the big three of car-side hiccups: low tire pressure, a weak battery, and minor scrapes or weather-related discomfort. The headline here is the digital tire inflator—better than the typical throw-in you get with many kits—and a selection of sensible extras packed into a tidy bag.

What’s in the bag and how it packs

The soft-sided case is compact and black, with a basic carry handle. Inside, everything has an assigned pocket or strap, which kept the essentials accessible after a few days of real use. The trade-off for the tidy footprint is a snug fit. Once I’d pulled several items out (inflator, cables, triangle), getting it back to “factory neat” took a moment of Tetris. Not a deal breaker, just something to know if you’ll be in and out of it regularly.

The selection is thoughtful. Beyond the inflator and jumper cables, there’s a tow strap, reflective warning triangle, safety gloves, a glass breaker/seatbelt cutter, a small flashlight, electrical tape, zip ties, bungee cords, a space blanket, and a disposable rain poncho. The 108-piece first aid kit is genuinely useful for road-trip nicks and scrapes. It’s not a trauma kit—and it doesn’t pretend to be—but it has the basics (bandages, antiseptic wipes, dressings, gloves, a CPR mask, and tweezers) that I would expect in a general-purpose kit.

The tire inflator is the star

I’ve used plenty of 12V inflators that felt like they were there to check a box. This one feels like a product you’d buy on its own. It’s lightweight, plugs into a standard 12V outlet, and has a digital gauge with preset and auto shutoff. I ran a few tests on a 225/45R17 tire:

• Top-off from 27 to 34 psi: about 2 minutes 30 seconds.
• From 0 to 35 psi on a fully deflated compact spare: just over 7 minutes.

The readings were within 0.5–1 psi of my handheld gauge, which is good for a compact compressor. The auto shutoff cut right at the set point each time. Noise is typical for the category (you’ll hear it, but you won’t wake the neighborhood), and the built-in LED is surprisingly handy if you’re inflating at night. The hose and cord lengths are adequate for a standard sedan; on a larger SUV, I still reached all four corners by repositioning once.

One note: small 12V inflators aren’t designed for continuous duty. After filling multiple tires back-to-back, the unit was warm but not alarming. I wouldn’t run it for 20 minutes straight on a summer day. Used as intended—for topping up or getting a drivable tire after a slow leak—it’s exactly what I want in a glovebox-friendly compressor.

It also includes a few extra nozzles for inflating balls and small inflatables. Handy if you’re keeping this in a family car.

Jumper cables: adequate for most drivers

The included 12-foot, 8-gauge, copper-clad aluminum cables are UL-listed and rated at 300 amps. In practice, they started a 2.4L four-cylinder with a depleted battery without drama. The clamps have decent bite and insulation; they’re not flimsy.

That said, a few realities:

• 12 feet is fine for typical nose-to-nose setups, but it can be limiting in awkward parking scenarios. I prefer 16–20 feet for maximum flexibility.
• 8-gauge CCA is appropriate for most sedans and small crossovers, especially in moderate weather. For bigger engines or winter conditions, heavier, pure copper cables are a safer bet.

As part of a compact, keep-it-in-the-trunk kit, these cables make sense. If you drive a full-size truck or frequently assist others, upgrade to heavier, longer cables and keep these as a backup.

Visibility and safety extras

The reflective triangle folds out quickly and stands on a stable base. It’s fine for calm to moderate wind; in gusty conditions, I always angle it slightly and, if possible, add a bit of weight to the base. The small LED flashlight is serviceable for close work (checking a fuse, reading a tire sidewall), though it’s not a headlamp-level beam. I suggest tossing in an extra set of batteries and, if you have room, a headlamp for hands-free tasks.

The glass breaker/seatbelt cutter is a compact combo tool. I tested the cutter on a length of old webbing and it sliced cleanly. I didn’t smash a junkyard window but the carbide tip looks like the standard design you’d expect. It tucks away in the bag without snagging anything.

First aid kit: practical for common needs

“108 pieces” sounds flashy, but the value is in the mix, not the count. Here the mix is right: various adhesive bandages, sterile pads, antiseptic and sting wipes, a triangular bandage, gloves, medical tape, tweezers, safety pins, and a CPR face shield. The supplies are organized in pouches, and the quality of the consumables is what I’d call mid-grade—appropriate for scrapes, blisters, and basic wound care until you reach proper medical attention. As always, check the expiration dates annually and replace anything used. If you routinely travel off-grid, consider adding a tourniquet and a larger trauma dressing.

Tow strap and fix-it odds and ends

The tow strap isn’t a heavy recovery rope, but it’s fine for gentle towing or helping someone out of a shallow ditch, assuming you attach to rated recovery points. No rating was printed on my strap, so I treat it conservatively. The bungees, zip ties, and electrical tape are the sort of “this just saved me an hour” supplies when something rattles loose or a panel needs securing until you get home. The space blanket and poncho are exactly what you want if you’re changing a tire in cold drizzle and forgot a jacket.

Everyday usability and durability

After being shuffled around my trunk, the bag shows only light scuffing; zippers and stitching are holding up. The inflator’s cable strain reliefs are intact, the jumper cable insulation hasn’t nicked, and the triangle still snaps open with firm hinges. Nothing here feels premium, but nothing feels throwaway either. It strikes a pragmatic balance between cost, weight, and reliability.

Everlit offers a 60-day return window and a one-year satisfaction warranty, which is reassuring for a kit you hope not to use often but need to trust when you do.

What I’d improve

• Longer, heavier jumper cables. Even bumping up to 16 feet would help in parking lot realities.
• A labeled load rating printed on the tow strap for clarity.
• Include a small roll of duct tape and a tire plug kit. These two items dramatically expand what you can fix well enough to get home.
• A headlamp instead of (or in addition to) the mini flashlight would make hands-free work much easier.
• The bag could use just a touch more space or elastic to make repacking less fiddly.

None of these are deal-breakers, but they’re easy upgrades I made on my own.

Who it’s best for

• Daily drivers who want a single kit that covers the most common roadside issues.
• New drivers and college-bound teens who don’t yet have a toolbox in the trunk.
• Small to mid-size car owners who value a capable tire inflator and a sensible mix of safety and comfort items.

If you drive a heavy-duty truck or spend winters in subzero climates, plan to supplement the kit with heavier jumper cables, a higher-capacity tow strap, and perhaps a more robust inflator.

Recommendation

I recommend the Everlit roadside kit for most drivers who want a compact, well-curated set of essentials with a standout tire inflator. It’s easy to stash, thoughtfully assembled, and covers the problems you’re most likely to face on the side of the road. The inflator’s accuracy and auto shutoff make top-ups almost foolproof, and the supporting cast—first aid supplies, triangle, basic tools—rounds out a sensible safety net. Add a few cheap upgrades (duct tape, tire plugs, a headlamp) and you’ve got a confident, year-round trunk companion without the bulk or cost of building a kit from scratch.
