Can't speak from personal experience of this model, Si, but Machine mart stuff isn't usually too bad. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/pr...ump-start-4000 .

Unless they've got wheels like the secondhand car dealers use, they're all a pile of shite.

Bit harsh, must be one or two that are good.

I shall add that one to my short list.

You'd get better results with a fully charged spare battery to be honest.

it needs a charger though.

only want £40 for it.

its been used and holds a charge very well, can get 20 cars started before it needs a charge

Had a 30 pound one from local bankrupt sale merchant was brilliant would start diesel landrover and forktruck with 4 208 perkins,lasted 4 years.
Good value for 30 quid i thought and it was a Rolson.

I've used dozens of different types over the years and the best by far are the powervamp ones, you will need to up your budget to around the £400 mark though, mine will start my surf with 2 flat battery's

Don't waste your money on a cheap one, they basically use house alarm battery's and will struggle to start anything more than a very mildly drained battery, as bushwacker said get a high amp battery and a good set of jump leads

Ballhooks!
If it 'started' that many cars that easily then they didn't really need a booster in the first place.
How many cars will it start if you weren't selling it?

I've got a Halfords one and for the past 2 years it's been excellent
The one thing i looked for was the fact it could be left plugged in to the mains 24/7 without probs (this one actually states it in the book)

Still start the same amount if I wasn't selling it, I worked for the AA and during the cold spell we had all I done for a week was non-start/flat battery jobs. Works very well
