Not sure. I never put a volt meter on the output of the jump starter unit. I do remember it worked really well, spinning over those old carbureted car engines from the 70's and 80's, even on really cold below zero mornings. To me, 12 volts should be enough. Yes, I agree that 13.5 - 14 volts...

I already explained that it's been 30+ years and I don't remember exactly how it worked. Maybe the engine on the jump starter had normal electric start, powered by the engine battery in the tow truck.... but the starter motor was weak so it needed a short pull from a human to get the starter...

Not sure.... I just remember pushing the button and pulling the rope..... When the engine started, I would let go of the button. The engine would crank indefinitely until I let the button go. (or the engine started)

I ran one of those on an old tow truck back in the early 1990's. (the truck was from the mid 1980's) I remember the "dimmer" switch..... If you held that "dimmer" switch down, and simultaneously pulled the rope start one time, somehow the rotation of the engine made electricity to keep the...

I've only used Hossfeld tubing benders. Both of the ones I've used had custom made hydraulic setups on them. They worked great for my needs. The JD benders seem to be very common nowadays.... They seem like a copy of the Hossfeld to me.... so they should work great! Once you own (or have...

No, I do not own a 12/24 JNC jump pack.... But I have a friend who does and he told me the pack uses the exact same batteries as the JNC 660, which I do own three of. There are two Anderson style connectors on the back of the 12/24pack, one connector is 12 volts, the other connector is 24...

I can't speak for any other brands, or lithium jump packs.... But the JNC660 is a 12 volt starter. JNC also makes a 12/24 volt starter. If you look inside the 12/24 unit, it has 2 of the exact same batteries as the JNC600 12 volt pack. For 12 volts, it uses both batteries in parallel, for 24...

Just be sure to re-identify the white wire with a few inches of black electrical tape on both ends. I'm sure the resident electricians will let us know if re-identification is required, or not.... I do it for good measure. (and because a friend of mine, who is a Master electrician, made me...

Will do...

I believe HP Tuners can flash the tcm on most GM vehicles. The HP Tuners MPVI3 (the hardware) is $400 bucks, and at least 2 universal credits are required at $50 bucks per credit..... so best case scenario it will cost a minimum of $500 for you to buy HP Tuners and re-flash it yourself. HP...

I realize you probably want a Honda brand generator (I can't blame you, they are damn nice... and quiet) but the Maxpeedingrods 3500 watt generator (made by Genmax) is a "suitcase" style generator and it's basically the same physical size as the 2000 watt units. More power for the roughly the...

I agree. That 2200 watt generator is only rated to run at 1800 watts continuous. That is not much power and it probably wont run more than one item at any given time. (depending on current draw, obviously) I see most RV people go for a 3500 watt (roughly) inverter generator. This way they can...

If they have offered to talk with you on the phone, why are you asking here? Sounds like they are willing to explain everything you want to know over the phone. I'd give them a call and get the answers directly from the horses mouth. Not everyone wants (or has time) to type lengthy reply...

I keep my gas in 5 gallon plastic gas cans in my backyard shed. I only store, and use non ethanol gas in my power equipment. I had to get rid of the few metal cans that I had when they started weeping along the seams around the bottom.

You don't have to explain yourself to me.... I don't care what you do or say.

I'd say you have a great setup in the bag right now. No need to add anything else until you run across a situation where you need something that isn't already in the bag..... Then go to the local store and buy the tool(s) you need for that job. Add to the bag only as you need. I don't blame...

Yeah, it's probably been at least 5 years since I've been there. I will check it out. Thanks

When did they change their name to Coremark Metals? Last time I bought a load of steel from them (it's been several years) they were still called Discount Steel. I've been through the sheet steel and tubing warehouse many times but I've never walked all the way through the main building. In...

Not for you, of course not.... But it IS an option for many other people. I already addressed that in my original comment. It's unfortunate that ACME doesn't have more retail stores around the county because they are legit! The location near me occupies roughly 35000 square feet of space...

ACME Tools. I've personally purchased Wright tools from an ACME brick and mortar store. Does everyone in the US have a nearby ACME store? No. But they DO sell Wright Tools, (they did last time I looked, anyway) and they DO have brick and mortar stores in the US.
