jump start pack

Featured Replies

Does any know a good jump start pack,the ones where you have Tyre inflater/gauge/light/and of cause the jump leads.also cigarette lighter adaptor.

The ones with the built in power pack that you charge up and leave if you need it,i have an old yellow one but need new one.

Around £50 but a goodish one/make.

The bottom one looses the power supply socket but there is ones with even a u.s.b socket output which is good.

Also the bottom is a lot cheaper and like i have now and been ok but did want a better one with more stuff for the option.

 

 

The bottom one is certainly cheap and cheery. And if it's just a booster for 'emergency' use then probably can't really go wrong with that.

I use a Clarke booster pack with compressor, think it's the Clarke JS1010. Its around the £100 mark though. So far hasn't let me down starting up to 2.5 litre diesels and smaller petrol engines.

I owned one like the bottom one, and it worked great for jump starting the 1.25 Fiesta 5-6 times in a row without charging.  Unfortunately I neglected to recharge the booster and it eventually died.

I just wanted to either get a new cheap one like the one i have(last one on picture) or get a updated one with all stuff on it like the other

ones or the last Link i put on here.

What shops sell these as i only know of halfords and just wanted a look around at some.

Machine Mart have quite a few, most of which aren't in your intended budget.  I've got Clarke 4000 booster and have a seperate tyre compressor; rather than a combined 2-in-1 model 

https://www.machinemart.co.uk/c/clarke-jump-starts/

I've got a feeling Lidl have a really cheap 2-in-1 combined booster and tyre compressor, for around £30, or at least, they used to.

Cheers for the link,its amazing we have a Machine Mart just up the road and been there years and never been in it.

Have a look in there.

As for the cheaper one i will pop to Aldi and have a look.

Cheers.

0.k looked in Aldi and nothing and looked in a few other places.

Would like the one with all on,car booster (good amp) and Tyre inflate/gauge/plug sockets (house ones)/usb and cigi socket.

One on the link above for £99 area but like to look at them in a shop.
