What to put in telly tool bag?

[Rlow850]

I usually try to have some basic tools in case anything happens while I’m on the road. Obvious ones are screwdrivers, needlenose pliers, vice grips, crescent wrench, jumper cables, and post cleaner. Anybody have anything else? I usually try to keep car specific common socket sizes and wrench in the bag also, but haven’t found any info yet on what those are...just in case!

I'd go with a jump pack rather than cables so you don't have to rely on someone else. I recently picked up this one, very happy with it

I always keep road flares in my cars for safety.

I have a cheap 12V portable air pump, hitch with 2" ball, and a hitch tightener (anti-rattle stabilizer), a small first aid kit, and an umbrella all in that rear cargo trunk space.

Duct tape. Multibit screwdriver, tire plug kit and compressor, flares, flashlight, multitool, paracord, trash bags, gloves, water, first aid kit with a few trauma bits like a tourniquet, quick-clot, splint and mask/valve for mouth-to-mouth. Duct tape.
I like the jump pack idea and I'm looking for a cheap home tool kit that has the common tools in one case. More duct tape.

You sure this ain’t a bug out bag?

I'd add a flashlight.,an umbrella, a blanket, a full water bottle, gloves for any work you are going to do.

I make sure to include an extra set of lobster crackers and a mole trap. In case I get hungry.

I heard there was a Duct Tape shortage. Now we know why.

LOL. I used to have one, then wife and kids came along. I ain't bugging out anywhere.

Are these preparedness items or serial killer starter kits?

Just purchased a $12 Folding Car Door Latch Hook Step from EBay. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this! It solves a problem for getting to the roof rack so easily. It works well on the hooks for the driver and front passenger doors, but not so well on the rear doors because of the slant of the latch the way the Tellruide door is designed. However, it helps when I don't have a step ladder to reach up to the top from the front two doors easily.

The only thing I would carry would be the phone number for KIA roadside assistance backed up with the phone number for towing from my insurance company. For the money I am going to spend and the wait I have had for this car I am D--n sure not going to do any of that crap myself as long as it is under manufacture warranty! There is no sense doing myself what I have already paid for with the purchase of the car.

If anybody is looking for a small compressor to carry I always keep my Jaco in my vehicle. Their products are pretty awesome.

I’ve seen this concept on Shark Tank before and think it’s a great idea...wish I had thought of it! That one on tv sells for much more. I assume this fits your Telluride with no issue? When you put in the make and model from the eBay page it says my 2021 is not compatible, no idea why as I’d assume a latch is a latch and I know by law they have to be able to withstand a certain vertical force. I’d mainly use it to wash the roof and/or if I ever add a roof rack.

That's where I initially saw it. The original $45 part is called a Moki Step and it was on a 2019 episode of Shark Tank (the couple that invented it spent $30K to design and patent and sold it on the spot to Daymond John for $3M). The door latch itself is meant to withstand 2,000 lbs of force. This step is rated for 510 lbs. I'm guessing this $12 one got around the patent by making it a multi-purpose device with safety hammer to break the glass in case you are trapped in the car and it is also folding. The original orange one is larger and doesn't fold.

It still works on the back doors but isn’t parallel with the ground. I can still reach the roof rack.

First time I’ve seen that. It is a great idea!
