Why didn't I think of this? 

But then again, does anyone here carry a battery powered drill in their car with them? I can see this being usable at home, but not on travel. That manual tool is better off for emergency cases.

Anything less than a 14.4v drill is not recommended, as it can burn the motor.

I just jack with my hand, works best for me.

You don't wanna go cheap on your jack stands though, get the best you can afford.  As for items in the trunk, this video sums up the essentials:

They sell drills that hook to your battery for road side emergencies. But frankly, only use would be lug nuts, and if your too lazy to use tire iron then you should just get AAA.

Side note, if you bought a car used... yeah make sure it has the tire iron in it. Learned that the other day. Drove couple miles with a dented wheel cause had no tire iron.

I need to get that thought off of my mind
