Default Starter packs with compressor.......

Im wanting to get a starter pack with air compressor built in. Nothing too fancy but nothing cheap and nasty either.

Anyone reccommend me one?

I bought the halfords one, ITS CRAP.
Iff the car battery is totally flat it will not start the car as it has an overload cut out built into it.

Cheap one's won't start anything. I've borrowed my mates Snap On and worked perfect to start my Esc Cos everytime. My £40 jobbie can't do it!

I'm buying a £150 Sealey one today with 1000 watts or something. Apparently will start anything!

I bought a Snap On one and its been superb. Hadnt charged it for 6 months and it still fired up a motor without a problem. Bit dearer, think it was £180 but as usual you do get what you pay for.

My Costco one from about 2-3 years ago has been superb, and stood up to lots of motorsport abuse
