I have a Hulkman Alpha85, which is a 2000 amp jump starter. I can't even believe how well these things work. I bought it 3 years ago and used it to start my '04 VR6 GLI. The thing started immediately and it only used about 12% of the battery. I used it a few times to start the GLI, charged it once, put it away with about 80% charge, and didn't use it for a year and a half. I pulled it out a few days ago and it still had 77% battery. I already jumped the GLI 3 times with it without charging it. Craziness. it's so nice connecting the alligator clips without worrying about sparks, since you plug the battery in after they are connected, and even after they are connected you have to turn on the battery to push current. Love the thing. The Topdon looks pretty similar.
Just a quick recommendation, you can hookup the battery tester without hooking to the jumper. That should make it easier to use so the big box is not just hanging

Absolutely in agreement with this. Really easy to use, convenient to just keep in the car, and it works.

Thanks! Figured that out afterward :)
