The safety absorbent works better and can be found at most auto parts stores. These work best with an AWD system or a 4&#215;4 wheel drive system for the best traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Foldable Shovel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Digging out snow from under the car and the wheels is a great way to regain traction if you&#8217;re trapped, so we recommend a foldable shovel. It certainly beats using your hands, even if you&#8217;re wearing gloves. They can be purchased at a military surplus store, picked up online, or similar locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2020\/09\/19041616\/tireinsnow_b.jpg\" alt=\"Vehicle in snow\" class=\"wp-image-3013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2020\/09\/19041616\/tireinsnow_b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2020\/09\/19041616\/tireinsnow_b-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2023\/12\/04073508\/Mechanic-aw-B_b.png\" alt=\"Man fixing tire of a vehicle\" class=\"wp-image-2891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2023\/12\/04073508\/Mechanic-aw-B_b.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/115\/2023\/12\/04073508\/Mechanic-aw-B_b-300x195.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Portable Air Compressor System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A portable air compressor works with the 12v outlet of your car and can be used to fill a tire with low pressure or help fix a flat.
