You have snacks in your car for when you go hungry in the middle of a traffic jam, a charger for when your phone dies, and a spare tire for when you accidentally hit a pothole. Heck, you might even have a ton of other survival items chilling in your trunk that can allow you to live in your car for days.

And while it’s always handy to keep a spare outfit in your car in case of potential fashion faux pas, your extra pair of jeans won’t exactly help you when your battery conks out, or when you get stuck in a ditch in the middle of nowhere with zero phone signal. When that happens, you’ll want to have the right tools to get yourself out of emergency situations.

Below are five items that should never ever leave your car, and they’re on sale for a limited time:

You already go borderline crazy when you run out of smartphone battery – how much more when your car’s battery runs kaput? Boasting a massive 14,000mAh capacity, this car jumper kit brings your automobile back to life, capable of starting your car up to 20 times on a single charge. Compatible with gasoline and diesel engines of up to 7 liters with a 12-volt battery, it also functions as a charger that can juice up to three devices simultaneously. It has a built-in Quick Charge 3.0 port that powers up your gadgets up to 75% faster, along with two iSmart ports that supports a maximum charging current of up to 2.4A each.

Some see it as an extraneous expense, but a dash cam is a smart investment. After all, you never know when you might suddenly get involved in a fender bender and have to dispute a claim. This GoSafe Dash Cam acts like an extra set of eyes on the road. It records high-quality 1080p HD video with a 140º field of vision anytime and in any weather. Its built-in Sony Exmor sensor automatically adjusts the sensitivity of light for clearer and brighter images, but you can also manually modify exposure values to guarantee that it captures top-notch videos. With tons of helpful driver assist features in place like a front collision warning system, stop sign recognition, driver fatigue warning, and headlight reminder, it ensures your stay safe on the road at all times.

This award-winning multi-tool can save your life in the event of a life-threatening emergency. A window breaker, seatbelt cutter, and powerful flashlight all in one, it lets you slash, bash, and flash your way out of any situation. It has a cutter blade that can pierce through a seatbelt, double window breakers to smash into side windows, and a LED light with an SOS mode that you can use to signal for help. What’s more, this versatile tool is crafted with military-grade aluminum and IPX7 waterproofness to withstand anything, and it can be mounted anywhere in your car for quick and easy access.

For when you’re driving and get accidentally stuck in a sticky situation, PanicSafe notifies your loved ones merely seconds after you run into trouble. With the built-in GPS tracking, G-sensor, and Bluetooth technology, it sends your location and blasts SOS alerts to seven of your pre-selected emergency contacts when you hit the panic button or if the sensor is triggered in an accident. When you’re not in danger, PanicSafe also functions as a car charger, capable of juicing up your devices four times faster than standard chargers.

Window breakers and seat belt cutters are no doubt car essentials, but they can be hard to locate especially when it comes to extremely time-sensitive situations. An emergency tool disguised as a car charger, the Ztylus serves a car’s outlet to power up your phone when you need it, but it comes to your rescue as a spring-loaded punch and seat belt cutter when disaster strikes. The punch is powerful enough to break a car window, while the seat belt cutter can effectively cut through a 5000-lb tow strap.
