Jumper cables. For like 10-20$ it can save you or someone else a lot of trouble.

Everyone? I have never owned a car, probably wouldn’t come in super useful.

You could use them as a jump rope, or as makeshift nunchucks.

For not much more, you can purchase a portable battery jumper. I’ve saved so many people without having to touch my car. I can move it between our cars, put it in my motorcycle saddlebags, use it as a PowerBank, so incredibly versatile. I’ll never not have one moving forward.

This, but get a jumpstarter with a battery instead. It’s essentially a powerbank with attachable jumper cables. Saved me plenty of times during the cold months without having to rely on other cars being nearby.
