Waaaay better than carrying jumper cables and [hopefully] finding another vehicle when yours is dead in the middle of a parking lot at 11pm. And the charge lasts a very, very long time in the unit, so definitely peace-of-mind just keeping in the vehicle. You may start your own, or someone else's vehicle, without stringing the two together with jumper cables.
Good stuff! I have a small jump pack like this. I used it a few times to jump start a vehicle. Worked surprisingly well! I'm always impressed how much power those little things can put out.
nice tool. no need to scare people into buying, though. The melting jumper cables ONLY happens when you are colorblind and hook up in reverse. The lovely little boxes are not always appropriate. If your battery is down just below what is needed to start, this is a great quick fix. However, if your battery is almost totally discharged, using a booster to start and letting the alternator top-up the battery risks blowing out the alternator. It does not like delivering huge current into an empty battery for long. Usually burns out the rectifier diodes. So for that scenario, one uses jumper cables to let the good car's battery AND alternator charge the dead battery for few minutes. Then one turns off the good car, so that its alternator is not trying to deliver starting current to a hungry starter. Then you start the bad car and remove the cables.
A lot of people can mess up jumper cables. Even doing it the correct way can damage electronics because of voltage spikes. Using the box Is just a lot easier.
@@AndyTheXTech I should add some context - My 3500 duramax will not start with that, or my tesla :) Probably good for smaller vehicles in a warmer climate - my daughter has one in her sportster and it did work in the summer when she was blasting music all day at the beach house

One of the videos you were in once gave me the confidence to change the wiper arm linkage on my Subaru. Good dude!
Thank you for being a fan I appreciate it! 😁👍

Exactly. Very easy to use.

Absolutely and it’s so much safer than jumpstarting it. 👍

@AndyTheXTech Easier, but as said, not always appropriate.
The box can also cause voltage spikes, similar to jumpering correctly
@@rtel123 absolutely but your only going to damage one car.
You can still use jumper cables.
Well, you shouldn’t 😂
@@AndyTheXTech Why not? Positive to Positive and Negative to body ground. Works fine.
Way too small for a real vehicle
I don’t know. I’ll keep trying it in other vehicles.

@@GFY_FOAD ya probably won’t start a duramax but if i see one at work I’ll give it a try.
Just learn how to do it correctly. 😂
You trust people nowadays? 🤣
@@AndyTheXTech nope 😁
