Lifeline AAA Excursion Road Kit
The Lifeline AAA Excursion Road Kit is the choice for a driver who wants one light kit for a dead battery or a slow leak.1
Why this one
- The Lifeline AAA Excursion Road Kit carries 10 ft of 8 AWG jumper cable, and that length reaches both batteries with the cars parked close.12
- Its compressor refills a tire that is losing air where the car sits, and the tire pressure gauge shows the reading.12
- Its 76 pieces include a 45 piece first aid kit for the cuts and scrapes that come with a breakdown.2
For flat tires and slow leaks
A tire that keeps going soft is the job for a kit with its own air compressor, the part that refills it at the roadside.1 The Lifeline AAA Excursion Road Kit carries that compressor along with a tire pressure gauge to verify the fill.12
For small cars and tight trunks
A small car with a tight trunk puts kit weight first, since a lighter kit is easier to shift around the rest of the load.1 The Lifeline AAA Excursion Road Kit weighs 3 lb, and a kit that light moves easily in a full trunk.1
