Yeah I don't cheap out on gear that is meant to get me out of pickle. $80 compressor could save me hundreds on a tow bill.
Vice grips make for a good emergency battery terminal clamp! I need to get a dedicated toolbox for the Maverick.
I got a little ammo can from harbor freight and put some tools in it along with stuff like spare eyeglasses, a little work lamp, work gloves and things to make changing a tire on a cold rainy night on the side of a busy dark road a little easier. Because I had to change a tire in the cold rain at night on the side of a busy road with no glasses so I couldn't see and it sucked.
Oh yeah I have some Princess Auto (Canadian HF) amo cans too, I'm gonna test em tonight.

I'd have just used a regular tool box but I wanted something more compact. It's not meant to be comprehensive, but rather be a set of emergency tools that will do in a pinch. It has pliers, vice grips, and adjustable wrench, screwdrivers, a hacksaw in a mini handle, a utility knife, a cheap knockoff leatherman tool, allen keys along with a headlamp, rags and a disposable poncho. It's one of the smaller 30 cal size cans and is absolutely packed full. In the trunk there's also a plug kit, a 4 way lug wrench, mini compressor. a quart of motor oil and road flares. Oh and the ever useful roll of duct tape (genuine duck brand, too!)
I like it. I did do a look see on its specs. On Amazon it says 26A max draw on the compressor. The bed electrical feeds are 20A. Those little power strip things are 15A Have you actually ran this thing under any appreciable load to see if it popped any fuses? Myself, I plan on running the RH bed power source to it's own dedicated lighter socket. I am looking for something that maxies out at 20A.Good fit for the Mav. I have the 400p for my 4x4 rig but didn't want to transfer it back and forth risking not having it when I need it.
