Question:

Does the PT60220 emergency kit have everything needed to jump a car, or do I need to add cables?

Tim, the # PT60220 already includes a set of 8-foot, 10-gauge jumper cables. They’re not heavy-duty like shop-grade cables for constant use, but they’re more than enough for most passenger vehicles to get by in a roadside situation. The kit also includes a variety of things you may need along your journeys, such as a flashlight, slip joint pliers, bungee cords, screwdriver, gloves, snap blade knife, rain poncho, tire gauge, electrical tape, safety triangle, air compressor and cable ties.

Have you needed roadside help before? It's never a fun situation, but kits like this can certainly help.
