    A Merry Trucker Christmas – Tools for the truck

    Truckers should always carry a set of tools in the truck. But sometimes, you need something to hit a really big job really hard. And that’s where these tools come in. 

    From clearing off a blizzard’s worth of snow to blowing every little speck of dust out of the wagon, we got the right tools for the job this Merry Trucker Christmas.

    AC/DC Digital Air Compressor By Wagan Tech

    Nothing says “I love my job” like hooking up to a trailer you just dropped an hour ago that was returned with a flat tire. While I will not be teaching a lesson on how to reset a bead the fun way, I will recommend you carry an air compressor with you in your truck. 

    If the tire is a bit low, no sign of an obvious puncture, and it’s not that far to a commercial tire shop or air pump, this compressor will help get you to safety. Although it maxes out at 100 psi, that’s enough to get the truck rolling carefully to a safe haven. Have a closer look by following the link.

    DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Impact Driver Kit

    Truckers love to work on their trucks. It saves them money and helps to motivate them on their off hours.

    Having an impact wrench to help break loose the nuts and bolts is a handy investment. Along with appropriate sockets and adapters, it makes for a great Christmas gift. Have a look at this impact wrench kit by DeWalt.

    With recent laws implemented about snow and ice removal, having a proper roof rake in your truck is a necessity. This long reaching snow removal tool is a good way to get rid of the snow and help prevent a big fine.

    Have a look at the Avalanche Snow Removal System and see how it can help you comply with the new laws. 

    Milwaukee M18 Fuel Cordless Blower

    Sweeping out a trailer can be a massive hassle, especially after a powder spill. Food grade and medical grade cleanliness standards are some of the worst requirements to have to maintain after someone spills a sack of flour or tracks in a lot of sand from outside.

    Having a high velocity blower on your truck can help out things immensely. It can push out the majority of material, leaving only a few specks of dust in the deepest of corners. This blower by Milwaukee can help cut down on your cleaning times.
