I've been using 1 for just over a year  , they don't like to run down too low & don't leave it connected to the battery past the start up.Brilliant tool to have I'm on # 2

Some where there's a 40's tractor that is missing it's battery

Bought one of those, but luckily I haven't had to use it yet. I toss it in my car when I go somewhere, because I am spoiled by technology. (My other cars have auto shut off for my headlights)  and have left the lights on my '02 too many times. I have been lucky so far that there has been enough juice remaining that I have been able to start it up. I got one of these for backup. Plus I can use this thing to charge my cell phone if I need to. 

 

But If I have to use this....cute little thing.. to start my car....and it works.....I will let Toby know..

At $40, that's a great buy and good thing to keep in your trunk for emergencies. I paid over twice that for a similar one. I use mine when I go camping and have no electricity to charge my cell phone. It will recharge the phone for four or five days and still have power left and you can also use it as a bright flashlight. I have used to jumpstart a car with a weak battery that would go dead after sitting for a few days. It didn't like cold weather and was unable to jump the weak battery after sitting in the car outside for eight hours at 10 to 15 degrees.

Quite impressive. Though it would fit nicely I wouldn't carry that bomb in my pocket. 

 

Couple of months ago I had an empty 9V battery blow up in my hand. Or actually just couple of cells from it. Still it kind of hurt and the battery flew from my hand, luckily outside. I was surprised of the power it still had. 

Those are protected yes but what's the quality for that price? The energy would kill easily if it got loose.

I bought a similar one. Used it once on my daily. It worked instantly without issue.

Wouldn't do squat to most of the things I own (big trucks). Im always skeptical of those little things.

I have started my Hemi in my roadster with one when I had a gel battery that stopped holding a charge , lots of small block  powered hot rods here & at my paint shop neighbor where batteries always tend to go flat at a paint shop  They work surprisingly well.
