Winter Driving accessories

AutoSock car snow socks - textile wheel covers
from £49.95

AutoSock is the high tech solution to an age old problem - how to give road tyres the grip they need on ice and snow to …get you home!. AutoSock - textile wheel covers with an elasticated edge; you just slip the snow socks over the driving wheels when you find yourself getting stuck. ("Yes - it really is this easy" and "Yes, of course they work!") Be prepared for the winter by carrying a set of AutoSocks in your car.

Billat Telescopic Snow Shovel - Blue
£9.95

Keep one of these useful compact shovels at home or in your boot. Made from polypropylene (PP) plastic with an aluminium handle. Max length: 715mm. Length when folded: 485mm. Shovel: 210mm wide x 250mm long.

Billat Snow Brush
£5.95

A good strong brush especially designed for clearing snow off cars. It's 42cm long with an 18cm insulating rubber handle, and long nylon bristles which are not too soft or too hard for the job. Green, with black bristles and a grey handle.

Billat Windscreen Protector
£2.95

Place outside, flat against the windscreen to prevent frosting. To secure it to the vehicle, open the doors and fold each end of the cover around the windscreen frame and into the vehicle. Then close the doors, trapping the fabric between the windscreen and door frames. It can also be used inside the windscreen to deter the effects of sunlight.

Walser reflective safety vest - yellow

This high viz vest, available at the moment only in yellow, conforms to EU Standard BS EN 471.

The Roof Box Company: Maypole 3 tonne tow rope

Warning Triangle
£8.95

Already compulsory on the European mainland… warning triangles pack small, are easy to assemble and stand securely. (Obvious points, but some triangles don't do all of these things!)

Maypole 3 tonne tow rope
£14.95

This Maypole 3 tonne tow rope starts at 1.8m and stretches to 3.8m, eliminating snatching. Its drop forged hooks make it quick, clean and easy to use - there's no need to grovel around under the car looking for places to tie on or loop through.

>> Green
>> Yellow
>> Red

RUD shoe chains
from £10.50

RUD's Quick Step shoe chain is the simplest and cheapest, but it still makes a massive difference between slipping and walking! All you need to do is to pull the superlastic loops over your shoe (small loop over the toe, large loop over the heel) and off you go!

The RUD 'Bergsteiger' is altogether a much more serious shoe chain, available in four sizes. It is standard issue to most European post offices, including our own Royal Mail! Made of alloy steel, easy to put on, take off, and store and (amazingly!) self-cleaning, i.e. no snow and ice residue is left between the chain and the sole of the shoe.

Ortovox Collapsible Snow Shovel - Orange
£29.95

Pack one of these collapsible Ortovox snow shovels into one of the rear pockets of your car, and you'll need never to be caught out again by the sudden arrival of winter, whether you are off for a winter holiday or just commuting on the M62! The blade is made from an unbreakable polycarbon. Only weighs 45 grams.

Snow Chains
Exchange Scheme

We’ll exchange unused snow chains if they are still in our current range at the time the exchange is arranged, and you purchased them from us; please phone (015396 21884) or e-mail with the subject “Snow chains exchange” so we know to expect them. (There’s no problem if you want to exchange for more expensive snow chains – you will in effect just be paying the price difference - but we don’t give refunds if you trade down market.)

You need to send the snowchains back to us with a covering note - not forgetting your name and address! “Unused” means just that. We can tell the difference at a glance between a set of snowchains that have been fitted once for testing purposes and a set which has been used for real. There's always a minimum £15 carriage / handling charge for exchange snow chains. (We'll need to charge more if you don't live on the UK mainland.)

Please note that we do not exchange AutoSock.

Petzl Tikkina 2
head torch
£17.95

You need two hands to fit snowchains or AutoSock. If you've never used a headtorch before you'll be amazed at what a difference they make. Some people think they'll look silly with one of these - but it will be dark, nobody will notice. Petzl is the head torch brand, much copied, never bettered.
