Best Jump Starter With An Air Compressor: My # 1 Pick
In a previous post labeled Homemade Survival Car Kit one of the items I mentioned was a car battery jumper kit with an air compressor.
Today I wanted to do a quick review of the specific brand that we went with. As the above title says we went with the Stanley Fat Max Jumper Pack that has the air compressor also.
Stanley FATMAX 700
- Delivers jump-starting power with 700 peak amps and 350 instant starting amps
- Reverse polarity alarm alerts when there is an improper connection; Connect the clamps to the battery, turn on the switch and start your vehicle
- Features a 120 PSI air compressor to help inflate tires with low pressure; High-powered LED light rotates 270 degrees to help you work in the dark
Why do you need a jump starter with an air compressor?
I have used this jumper pack several times now and ironically enough I have only had to use the air compressor for one of our cars but have never had to use it to jump the battery on our cars.
I have used it multiple times when we were out and about and someone was broken down. It was very nice to be able to pull it out and help them out.
Whoever came up with the idea of a jumper pack was a very smart person. No longer do you have to try and figure out how to get two cars together to hook up jumper cables. This came with several challenges.
One you had to figure out what side the battery was on in each car and line the cars up so the jumper cables would stretch far enough to be able to hook them up.
Second you had to hope that your car wasn’t blocked in, in a way that the other car wasn’t able to pull up to your car. We had this happen with our van before we purchased this pack.
The van was pulled into the garage and when we went to leave the next day the battery was dead.
One of the kids had left a light on in the van all night and walaw, dead battery. I had to push the van out in the driveway and maneuver our other car to be able to hook up the jumper cables.
This pack would have made this an easy process if we had it then.
In Conclusion..
I would definitely recommend getting one of these packs or one similar to it. They come in handy and it is nice to have the piece of mind that if the battery dies or you get a flat tire you have something to take care of it.
