Jump Starters

For those with an auto or perhaps just looking for that little box of tricks that might just get you out of trouble one of these might be of interest.

Not sure if they would start an 80 or a 100 but they might just.

Very interesting bit of kit Warren.

Are you buying one? I'd be interested in the feedback. I could bring two dead empty batteries to lincomb to see if it would start a cruiser.

No plans just yet but it is a concern with an auto if the batteries run flat and no one else is around to give you a jump. On the list of "nice to have" it has gone.

I know what your saying. Being a manual and being able to roll and bump a truck is a major plus factor.

Seen one of these start a 1000cc 4cyl motorcycle with a flat battery but don't know about a lumbering old diesel like a 1H series.
