1 out of 5 stars DOES NOT WORK AT ALL   April 3, 2008
This does not work at all. I WISH I'd read these reviews before buying the thing -- and being stuck with a dead battery.


1 out of 5 stars Garbage   March 7, 2008

I bought one of these years ago and it was a piece of garbage that did not work despite following instructions. Not enough juice to help jump the car! I can't believe they're still selling these!


4 out of 5 stars How this would help you   March 6, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

To start a car, you need high current that a car battery provides, either from your own or a donor car's.

This device can't provide enough current to start your car. What it can do is to slowly charge your car battery and let it store enough power to give high current for a second.

Apparently, if your car battery can't hold the charge, it wouldn't work; if it's very weak, it takes longer to charge. And if you try to turn on the engine before the car battery is ready, you've just wasted all the juice from the jumper to the car battery, and may well blow any chance for this thing to work.

There's nothing on the market that you can plug into the cigarette light socket and start the car instantly. Even if the jumper has another car battery in it, the socket can NOT carry that much current.

For the convenience, size and independence of a good Samaritan, this is as good as it can get.



1 out of 5 stars Totally useless   January 9, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Wish I had found these reviews before purchasing this product. This will NOT jump start a dead car battery.

Is there product that does what this promises i.e., jump start a dead car battery without 1)another car and 2)going under the hood?

Please let me know as I've wasted too much time, money and safety on products that don't work (including this one).



1 out of 5 stars It didn't work as advertised. Don't waste your money!   October 15, 2007

No stars for this product even though the stupid Amazon reveiw site made me give it one. This product is a waste of money, don't buy it!
You will be sorry.
