4 Tools Every Driver Should Have In Their Car

Just because every time when you get pulled over by traffic police, you only get asked for your driving license and registration doesn’t mean that these two are the only important components every driver need to have in their car when out on the road. Most of us would rather fill up our cars with less important and unrequited items than being concerned to pack tools that are needed for our safety on the road. Don’t repeat the mistakes other drivers make and be a responsible driver and a better citizen.

 According to the experts of Jsk Automotive, largest Hyundai Car Parts dealers, every driver should have these handy tools ready in their car in case of an emergency.

Let’s start!

Duct Tape: Yes, you have heard that alright! A duct tape is a life-saving tool for most of the drivers. Why? A duct tape can fix a myriad of car ills and glitches like a damaged car body after a minor collision to slight functional fixes on hoses and other parts. It can literally put together any minor car ill long enough to take it to a mechanic for a more guaranteed repair.

 Tire Pressure Gauge: This is by far the most important safety tool every driver must and should have in their car. It makes sure that your car runs smoothly and effectively. When your car tires have too little or too much air pressure, they are more vulnerable to wheel damage and often times hydroplaning.  Both these scenarios are fatal for your car as well as your life, so make sure you have a tire pressure gauge tucked securely in your car to relieve yourself of the doubt if your tires have enough air in them or not.

Life Hammer: Well, this one is a very small safety component which will hardly take any space inside your car.  It can be kept near the driver’s seat by securing it with the Velcro or a duct tape. You can break the window with it in case of life-threatening scenarios like fire or when you’re stuck inside your car underwater and need to get out. Since it is as sharp as a knife, it can cut through the thick fabric of your seatbelt to help you get out of the car faster in order to save your life.


Jumper Cables: For us, it’s every car driver’s dearest, because a dead battery is a very common occurrence amongst car drivers and these beauties are the only component that can help you wake up your dead battery from a nap. But do you know what a real crisis looks like? When other driver stops just to help you jump start your vehicle and neither of you has jumper cables.

How to Install New Spark Plugs?

What do Spark Plugs do in a Car?

The spark plug is basically a small electric gadget that is plugged into your engine's cylinder head, where it "sparks" to ignite the fuel. The spark plug is attached to the ignition coil through which it creates high voltage needed to spark the fuel and generate combustion within your engine. Faulty spark plugs mean no spark to ignite the fuel, therefore no combustion.

How To Install New Spark Plugs?

Buy a perfect set of replacement plugs: You can either refer to your vehicle's owner manual or an auto parts related booklet at the auto parts store that have all the vital information about your vehicle's make and model and the year of manufacture. There is an array of different combinations of spark plugs and measurements, made of metals like platinum, yttrium, and iridium, etc. Spark plugs made of precious metals like platinum and iridium are slightly expensive than ones made of lesser metals like copper since they have high melting points and can survive up to 100,000 miles. So choose wisely!

If you are not certain about what type to buy, talk to Jsk Automotive for original equipment plugs, who also deals in reliable and high-end Spare Parts For Hyundai I-20.

Clean the area around the threads before installing new spark plugs: When you are inserting new spark plugs, take a good look at the wires for any visible signs of wear and tear and clean up the area around the wire terminal carefully and with caution. You can use a thin wire brush or compressed air to clean the area around the wire connection and make sure the port is clean. Replace the wires if necessary.

Plug new spark plugs and secure them with a ratchet: With the spark plug socket, unscrew each plug from the engine and replace each with a brand new spark plug. Tighten the plugs a bit, but don't over tighten them too much as you can easily strip the thread on the head of the engine and those repairs are way too costly and time-consuming.


Lubricate the plugs prior to installing: Put a small amount of anti-seize lubricant on the plug threads if you are plugging them in an aluminum engine. This lubricant will prevent any sort of reaction between dissimilar metals. You can also apply a small amount of dielectric silicone compound on the inside of the spark plug wire boot so that they can be easily removed in the future.
