Great Presentation!
Thank you for your comment have a great day take care Joe
Project Farm on RUclips tested these units and this unit came out on top, by far. Compressor is loud is the only bad thing. Plus it’s heavy, but like you said, lead acid battery. That’ll do better in the cold.
Yes one of the reasons that I bought this one were the reviews I have read and seen. Best value for this product. Thanks Joe
Thank you let me know if you find out anything
@@josephjelencsics1263 I absolutely will it’s funny they were readily available when I purchased mine now I can’t seem to find them anywhere It is a really good four and one jump starter, compressor etc.
Thanks. I'm ordering one!
It’s worked well for me. About once a month I plug it in just to keep it tuned up but I don’t leave it plugged in. Take care joe
I need to jump a 350 or 5.7 liter gas engine. Have you tried jumping an engine of this size with the unit?
I have successfully jumped a 3 L Mercedes engine without any problem.
Are you sure you can recharge the unit using the 12v plug or is it just the AC plug 🔌 Because the instructions doesn’t say you can recharge it with your 12v
Hello yellow jacket,
Thank you for your comment and question. I think you were absolutely right I made a mistake in my description. Yes I’ve checked my unit out and I just charge it with a small electrical extension cord either plugged in at home or into my vehicle that has a 110 outlet. No the 12 old plugs are for output only not charging. Thanks for correcting me. Consider subscribing. Thanks, Joe.
This is the one I want. I can't find it anywhere
You find out anything let me know thank you
I just ordered one from Northern Tool.
I can't find this jump starter compressor for shit I must have looked all over the place checked Ebay Amazon auto parts stores everywhere was out of stock someone help me
i’m sorry you’re having problems finding one. I purchased mine on eBay but I checked eBay and Walmart are out of stock. This must be a supply chain issue now. I will keep checking but I bet it will come back in stock.
I can't find it either. This is the one I want
@@JosephHunstad Thank you let me know if you find anything
I just ordered one from Northern Tool.
@@kellyklaask7su990 thanks for your comment. I think you'll really enjoy it. Take care - Joe
Will it jump start amg batteries?
Hey there thank you for your question. Yes it should have no problem jumpstarting AMG batteries. Best regards, Joe.
I'd prefer a jump starter with an AGM type battery enclosed, as opposed to lead-acid. AGM's are maintenance-free and tightly sealed, negating the chance for any battery acid spillage. Also, it would be nice to know approximately how many jump starts (12V car battery) one might expect between power bank re-charges.
Hello Phil. Thanks for your excellent comment. AGM batteries do you have any advantages for sure. The disadvantage of courses cost. They are significantly more expensive but they have 2 to 3X lifetime over lead acid. This gym starter is not AGM but has worked very well in my experience. If you find an AGM jump starter that you think is great please let me know. I’d be very interested. Consider subscribing. Thanks Joe.
@@JosephHunstad My pleasure-and thanks for your thoughtful and prompt reply, Joe. To begin with, the price of a power bank charger is only secondary to us. Of utmost concern is not to be stranded-especially at a location where standard jumper cables are impracticable. Over the 4th of July, my wife’s late-model Mazda had sat for just 5 or 6 hours in a parking space, while we were visiting over a backyard cookout. When we went to go home, the car battery was completely drained-not even enough millivolts left in the battery to operate the key fob to unlock the car!
It was late in the evening, so our son drove us home (only a few blocks away). The following morning, he put his charger on the battery long enough to start the vehicle, and drove it over to our house. [I’ve had years of experience with electrical problems, but had never seen anything quite like this. the Start button was pressed, to shut off the engine, all accessories were off, and all doors were completely closed.]
Turned out, after taking it into the Mazda dealer for a diagnostics check, that there was a glitch between the ignition and the transmission shifter. Long and short of it is, when the engine was shut down, the _accessories_ were still ON. As you are most likely aware, virtually all late-model cars are equipped with an “engine control unit,” which is the “brain” of the vehicle. From this ECU, all peripheral electrical modules, relays, solenoids, etc. are regulated (and this central unit must be kept “alive” at all times).
Sorry for the long digression there, but it’s worth the extra money involved to ensure that my wife has the most reliable solution onboard, in case of emergency-so that she does not have to “rely upon the kindness of strangers” (which is a serious consideration when you look at the present state of our society).
The model I’m looking at is the CRAFTSMAN CMXCESM256 1200 Peak Amp Jump Starter and Portable Power Station ($145 at Amazon): www.amazon.com/CRAFTSMAN-CMXCESM256-Starter-Portable-Station/dp/B09TSHYWVN/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
It does come with an AGM battery … but the question is, how long will the unit itself hold its charge-especially in the winter months? [Judging by the weight and dimensions, it would certainly not have the same storage capacity as a 12V car battery.]
Another consideration, that I’ve seen touted online, is the Noco Genius UltraSafe Lithium Jump Starter: 500 Peak Amp, 12V, Power Bank ($99.99): shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/noco-genius-ultrasafe-lithium-jump-starter-500-peak-amp-12v-power-bank-gb20/12067649-P?source=certona
What I _like_ about this option is its compact size-very easy to stow and handle, for even smaller women. Sure, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of a full-blown power station-but we already have a portable air compressor (which runs off a cigar lighter outlet).
What we _don’t_ like about these compact units are the lithium-ion batteries-the likes of which are _known_ to have caught fire or exploded in the past, albeit on rare occasions. Of course, anyone who has a laptop computer, a smartphone-or any of a number of handheld devices-runs the remote risk of a fire hazard. [While I could live with the tiny odds of a lithium-ion explosion, my wife definitely cannot!]
Adding to the conundrum, we live in a location that has long, hot summers. Further, while it could be just 90-100 degrees outside, the car thermometer reading can get up to 110 F. (or more) under the hood. According to the National Fire Sprinkler Association, one of the rules to help prevent lithium-ion fires is, “Do not store [lithium-ion] devices in windows or in hot vehicles”: nfsa.org/2023/01/12/lithium-ion-battery-fires/
So, there you have it Dr. Joe. I gave you a lot to chew on here, but am eagerly awaiting your thoughts. And please forgive my long-winded reply!
@@philmenges9887 hello again, Phil,
I read your response with great interest. You’ve obviously given this considerable thought. Another simple option, is to buy a battery load test unit and every six months or so do a load test on your wife’s battery and if it fails replace that battery, then the need for jumping it goes away.
Every jump starter has certain limitations based on their construction. Lithium ion batteries have fire problems more typically while they’re charging then when they’re resting even when they get hot.
I’m interested in what you choose for your final solution. Please let me know. Thanks Joe.
will it jump start a semi truck?
Hey buddy, thanks for your question. I believe that when it’s fully charged up and ready to go and hasn’t been sitting around for a while, it should jump a semi.
You think it could jump start a diesel tractor?
Typically a diesel tractor has three or four cylinders. It doesn’t take that much effort to start one and I believe this has the power to do that. Thank you Joe
I like mine. Unfortunately I think I lost my charging 110 and 12v.
That’s no good sorry to hear about that. All of the elements and mine are still working. OK, which is good consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Great review, I also discovered the #CostWay🔌🔋on #ProjectFarms and was very intrigued.
Thank you very much. I’ve enjoyed it works well. Consider subscribing. Thanks Joe.
If I was in the U.S. I would go for the Clore JNC660 or 770............................
That certainly looks like a good unit. I’m not very familiar with it, however. I’m not sure it was available when I did this video which is a couple years ago. Consider subscribing. Thanks Joe.
