1 out of 5 stars Worked great!...for a minute   November 24, 2008
Got one in February of 08. Construction was solid enough. Used it four or five times in August-September. My truck had a bad cable. After the last time, it won't charge. Now totally worthless. Haven't decided if it's worth getting fixed under the warranty. I won't be buying another one of this brand.


1 out of 5 stars Not worth it!!   November 21, 2008
I bought this product in hopes of jump starting my lawn tractor as well as a vehicle (if the need came up). Well, the need did come up... three times.... and this product was NOT able to give me enough power to successfully jump start my Explorer. It made the lights come on, and the 'open door' bell sound, but that was it. Right out of the box, I charged it by following the directions precisely. I truly feel like I've wasted my money!! Worse, I didn't find out how bad it was until it was already out of warranty.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent value, compact- works as advertised   October 18, 2008
Lightweight and compact, easy to use to jump start the car- best value for the money

This starter worked well for a few weeks but now will not take a charge.


2 out of 5 stars compressor is weak   October 2, 2008

purchased this about two yrs ago, never had to use it to jumpstart any car. But last month my wife had a flat tire, used the fix-a-flat stuff for a partial inflation repair, then tried using the compressor (was just charged the prior evening). Compressor ran at full bore for less then 10 seconds, then barely ran at all.

recharged it again, while it was at full charge turned on compressor without any tire connected and same thing.

if you want this as an all purpose unit, only depend on it as a power source but not as a emergency air compressor
