BEST CAR VACUUM
Milwaukee M18 Compact Vac $119
Despite technically being a portable
shop vac, Milwaukee’s M18 Compact
is just as good at keeping your vehi-
cle’s interior spick-and-span. It’s stout
enough to capture sizable lumps of
mulch and gravel with relative ease.
And the collection bin was super easy
to dump into a trash can using the trap-
door at the bottom.

BEST TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE
ARB ARB601 Digital $67
While the ARB601 is an
exceptionally precise
pressure gauge, it also
doubles as a def lator and
inf lator. We found that its
digital display is easy to
read at any time of day, in
various levels of light. And
when a product is easy to
use, you’re more likely to,
well, use it, in this case
boosting the performance
and life of your tires.

BEST STORAGE SYSTEM
SidioCrate Boxes $40 each
These neat and tidy storage crates from Sidio are an excellent and colorful solution to keep
your trunk organized. Using the generous number of crates and dividers, our test editor
was able to store all of his drone equipment in his hatchback—with room to spare for gro-
ceries and other gear—on a mountain biking trip.
