I bought a kind of multi tool as a gift for a relative and have been meaning to get one for myself/the family car. It has a rechargeable torch which also has an emergency flashing alert beacon, a seatbelt cutter and something to smash car windows in an emergency. Hopefully I'll buy but never need it.
I kind of have this with a jump starter my parents bought me a few years ago. I've only used it a couple of times and mostly on other people's cars. We took it out a while ago and someone needed one when we went to a community farm recently so it went back in the car so we wouldn't make that mistake again
