Black & Decker 500-Amp Jumpstart with Inflator

Useful for adding air to tires when needed and to jump start without needing another vehicle. Stores easily and stays in place in a vehicle.

If you discharge it completely trying to junmpstart something, it will never hold a charge again. B&D doesn't make the product, and if you want to make a warranty claim, they refer to an outside company, who will say you didn't charge the jumpstarter often enough, even if you did.

Have used it to check and inflate tires on my car. And used it to jump start a 5k generator during a power outage one week after I received it. The generator had a dead battery and the Black & Decker 500 had no problem at all jump starting it. Works great.

The item arrived at the pickup store in 7 days. It worked perfectly right out of the box. The directions in the user's manual and on the pamphlet attached to the handle differ, which can be confusing. I charged it for the full 48 hours (pamphlet directions) as opposed to the lesser duration indicated in the user's manual. I used it to do my monthly car tires top-off, and it worked just fine. The small psi gauge on the unit is worthless (it indicated my tires were at 38-40 psi when they were actually 32.5 psi). I recommend using a tire pressure gauge to get an accurate psi. I have not had a need to try the jumper cables yet, but I'm sure that feature works. The light works, shines brightly, right in the user's face when it is laying flat. It stores neatly in the trunk.

Bought this for our son that drives an older model vehicle, to give us piece of mind he will not be stranded. This piece of equipment was recommended to me by a friend that has used the inflator, the jump starter and swears by the usefulness of this item.
