Who has one? How old is it? Does it still deliver the Punch? Would you buy the same one again? If not, which would you rather have?

My very old and heavy jumper box stopped working last year and I had to buy a new one.  I bought a 1,000 watt one from Harbor Freight.  I have only had to use it once to jump start a nephew's Ford Escape - and the little jumper box started it instantly.  I have used the jumper box as a charger box when camping to recharge my phone and helmet radio.  It is amazing that this little light weight gizmo can start a full size car when needed!  After seeing it work my wife decided I needed to buy one for her car.........we still have jumper cables but never use them!

That place is on a road I find myself on often. I need to get a tool for cleaning up the car. It Needs a good going over and I can buy The Stuff and do it myself for less than I can pay someone, and then I'll have the tools, too. I'll get one of those1000 amp units and keep it in the car.
Having cables is Good, but ya gotta have someone who is willing to let ya hook up.
A Box? Hook it up and go..
Thanks Dave..

I have a Noco Boost XL (amazon). Charged it , put it behind the seat of the truck , at least a year later. Working car ship in Oakland I smoked my 50 lb company supplied jumper. At break went to my truck grabbed the Noco , after being uncharged for a year , it started 16 cars & trucks before it died.
It’s 5 years old still starts a dead car no problem. And also have a tire inflator too. It makes enough pressure to bead a m/c tire. Both in a small go bag , behind the seat.
