I've lost count of how many of these kits I've bought for my family's cars and gifted to other friends and family when they've turned 16, got a new car or were preparing for a long road trip.In general, I like the sense of security of knowing my loved ones at least have a minimal emergency survival, first-aid and auto repair kit with them. So far, no one has had to use their kits for anything more than a bandaid or temporary use of a bungee cord, so the kit never really had been put to the test.I always recommend going thru the kit in detail to know what all is there and how to use it. More importantly, I always add more items to my kit! The case has plenty of room for a few things: a few more survival blankets, full size tools if not in the kit (hammer, assorted screw drivers, magnetized extension rod), extra fuses and replacement light bulbs, battery cleaning supplies, your preferred survival knife, a quart of oil, sealed water packets, some granola bars sealed inside Tupperwear or layers of quality ZipLoc bags that can be used for countless things, and whatever items YOU might think are important or necessary based on your needs. Allergic to bee stings? Use an emergency breathing inhaler or epi-pen? Take needed daily meds? Keeping an extra emergency supply available could save a life or be the difference between misery or basic comfort until you're safe again.Bottom line: I would not keep buying this kit for family and friends if I didn't think it was a good, basic emergency kit. I just recommend customizing it and then checking it regularly, such as with changing seasons.  Read Less
