today, 10/19, i purchased one of these thinking it was a better choice than leaving my wheeled snap-on charger out in the open to tempt some of the more dishonest folks in my neighborhood. item looked to be new - i plugged it in and it did nothing. in my kitchen i attached it to a test battery with it plugged in , and nothing. then pressed start button, hoping it needed to be turned on - nothing. verified the outlet was good and that i had power, replugged charger in - it did nothing. hmmm...went outside and attached it to my car battery with an extension cord - nothing. WTF? one more try inside, i told myself. reattached charger to test battery in my kitchen - nope, nothing. now the strange thing... i unplugged power, disconnected clamps and started to put instructions back in box and wire ties back on power and charging cables for return - AND IT TURNED ON WITHOUT BEING PLUGGED IN. display came on and LED"s lit up, with no power.where has quality gone? thank you for an honest review.
Yeah and for just a little more you can find much better out there that will work properly. The whole thing is just cheap plastic anyway so that tells you something about the quality.
Excellent job 👏👍❤
Good video the Viking smaller charger at hf works well automatic but limited to 4 amps
Thank you!
I’ve been wondering about you!

Definitely wasted my money
yeah i agree and you would think with a name like Craftsman the quality would have been better.
@@TheHomeHandyman yeah i didn’t know I had to keep up plugged up ware of 80 dollars
