A basic set of tools. Car jack, tire iron, jumper cables. Rice cooker, crock pot, and air fryer (probably more than 100 collectively, but each one should be less than 100).

car jack

Tire iron

I'm assuming a tire iron is a wheel nut key - has anyone ever owned a car that didn't have these?

Also, why would anyone who does NOT own a car possibly need these :)

There are some newer cars that don't. They sometimes don't even have a spare!

It's a nightmare. They have those mobile compressors instead. How am I supposed to get to the next mechanic if I have to use the compressor for every 2km? And then they have this puncture safe paste that the compressor can mix in, which turns a 10$ repair into a 200$ repair.

It's insanity! And using the compressor takes even longer than just changing the wheel!

My 10 years old volvo does not have a spare only some spray can repair kit. However it has all the tools to change a tire
