Im looking for a good 'COMPACT' jump starter for work for quickly jumping cars so i dont need to roll out the larger unit or carry out the regular jump starter that weights about as much as a battery itself. A HUGE benefit would be the ability for it to plug into 12v sockets to save KAM.

This is the one im looking at rn

My tool truck guy wont sell any of them.... regardless of brand. He said they are all junk. The vast majority of the units he sold in the past all came back. He stopped selling them altogether so he doesn't have to deal with the headache. lol

The problem with those is that they are designed for emergency use, which they are good for. Guys buy them thinking it will take the place of a regular jump box, and they cannot handle the day to day abuse that they will go through.

I bought one to keep in the car, much more portable then my big jumpbox, which takes up a ton of space in the truck. Easy enough for the wife to use if she gets in a jam, I travel a lot and am not always around if it hits the fan.

I have that one. Have started a diesel tractor off only it, and ran cars on test drives without a battery.

Got it for $150 from my local battery vendor

Astro had their 7785 at their SEMA booth, seems to be pretty unique comparatively
