Hi all my mum is looking for a decent jump start. Shes had a couple of cheaper ones and they have'nt really lasted from one year to the next.

get a massive battery and a cheap charger and keep it nice and tucked away

all jump packs bar a few snap on jobs i ever used were total shit or were very soon total shit

i worked on yank motors and diggers and lorrys and alsorts and we had a lorry battery on a sack barrow with some real good jump leads and we could start anything in the yard with no hassle

depends on the situation mind huh

Why not sort out the real issue, you shouldnt need to regularly jump start a car to get it running.

What car? Is it not being used much? Or is it just to have incase it's needed?

I sell hundreds of sealey gear and the best seller is always the battery packs and welders I don't rate the lower amp packs if using a lot but I have customers who have used there nearly every day for recovery and love em.
