Jumper Cables

Regardless of how reliably a man’s car runs, he should always have a set of jumper cables to hand. If you care for your car properly and don’t run the battery down, you shouldn’t have to use your cables very often. However, a pair of jumper cables can save you a fortune on a tow truck if you ever find yourself stuck with no power. As with any potentially dangerous task, be sure to read up on how to operate jumper cables before diving in and hooking up your vehicle.

Shoe Polish and Cleaning Kit

Scruffy shoes make a poor impression, so every man should have a shoe polish and a cleaning kit stashed in their home. It can be easy to forego shoe maintenance as a busy guy. Between work, laundry and errands, the task of polishing your shoes can easily fall to the wayside. However, just a small slick of polish can give your tired dress shoes a new life and make your tailored suit even more fashionable.

Flask

Drinking alcohol while you’re out and about is never an easy thing to accomplish. You may be able to keep a bottle of wine or spirits tucked away in your girlfriend’s bag, but this is generally considered uncouth and rather classless. To maintain their reputation, every man should have a sleek and understated flask on their person when the occasion calls for it. If you’re hitting a festival or simply visiting a venue with extortionate drink prices, a flask is essential.

Cooler

There’s truly nothing better than grabbing an ice-cold beer from a cooler when you’re hanging out with the guys. When you’re away from home, there are few options for keeping food and drinks cold. Men may be able to use a thermos for small volumes, but this won’t be an ideal solution for large gatherings. As well as being a practical option for parties and picnics, coolers are also must-have items for camping trips and wilderness exploring. Keeping food fresh and safe is paramount on any outdoor adventure unless you want to walk away with a nasty case of food poisoning!
