Let’s paint a picture. You are running errands and doing the Holiday Shopping for all of those people in your life. You park your car and maybe leave your lights on, or it’s just that cold outside that the battery needs a boost. Everyone is busy on their own, and you need to get your car started. The JNC318 Jump Starter to the rescue!
[sc name=”affiliate”]
This Jump Starter is brought to you by the wonderful people over at Clore Automotive. You can peruse some of the other reviews I did on their products here and here.
Maybe you are an independent woman and like to be self-sufficient on your own. Maybe you are a husband and want to protect your wife. How about the younger drivers in the family? You want them to be prepared as well, don’t you?
I was a Paramedic for 24 years and one thing I have always made sure of was being prepared for almost anything. We can’t control all the circumstances that arrive in our life but wouldn’t it be nice to have the peace of mind knowing that you were prepared at the moment you needed to jump-start your battery?
This easy to carry Jump Starter can easily be placed under a car seat, fit in most glove compartments, or in the back of your car or SUV with your other safety products.
This Jump Starter from Clore Automotive does much more. It can charge devices via USB or even use 12-Volt accessories like tire inflators, power inverters and more.
It has a built-in flashlight and can even flash an SOS code like in the video below.
It has an easy to read digital display to let you know how charged it is, and what function it is currently serving. With the charge cord that easily plugs into your household outlet, you can keep it continuously ready for when you need it most.
This would be a great idea for those who love emergency preparedness, a loved one, a new driver or a stocking stuffer for anyone you might work with as well.
Two thumbs up from me on getting one, and I am proud to add this to my 2017 Holiday Gift Guide this year. ~Tom

Sandra McFadden says
I love products like this. I have helped many people stranded in parking lots due to car not starting and having my portable jumper charger with me. I even gave them as gifts to my single friends.
Rachel says
I would like to have this jump starter its in single digits here and they are very handy better than asking for a jump.
Michelle Catallo says
I have one almost like this always readily available in the glove compartment of my truck. I also have heavy duty jumper cables in my trunk; best to have heavy duty due to having a truck.
Betty Curran says
During these frigid winter days I always worry that my car won’t start and there won’t be anyone handy for a jump. This is just the thing every woman needs to keep in the trunk.
Trisha McKee says
This recently happened to my teenage daughter! Her car would not start at the high school. She had been there at an after school activity and most people had left. Fortunately one of her friends was also there, but that might not always be the case. This product could be such a lifesaver!
kathy pease says
This sounds like a great product..I can think of a few times this would have come in handy.
Alan S. Gardner says
As it happens, I’m doing some post=Christmas shopping, and this is precisely the thing for which I am looking. Timing much? Thanks.
Marla Jones says
Being single is hard enough! This would be perfect
to keep in my car!
I have been broke down before and it is awful,no one wants
to give you a jump!
Tom Shewbridge says
They are handy. And I trust this brand. Been a supporter of them for years!
Margot C says
I should buy this for my son. He has a small Mitsubishi and I would not like him to be stuck somewhere needing to be towed!
Rebecca B says
I love the compact size. I don’t have a lot of trunk space but this would fit in nicely. I’ve also been in the position of trying to get maneuvered into a spot to reach with traditional cables to another car. I love that I can be a good Samaritan and not bump another car in a busy lot.
Helen says
My father in law has one of these, and we have used it more times than I can count. We so need to get one for ourselves. It really is a life saver.
Melissa Shirley says
This sounds like a great jumpstartet. I recently gave away a jump starter that was just horrible. It took forever to jump your car and it was just crappy. I will have to look into this because I need a new one anyway.
desiree says
my son went bought the big one he was going to use it for the truck he drive and would not jump the semi so he gave it to me and then i use it for the truck i drive and then i keep it in the truck and they help out quick
Katie Bellamy says
This would be great to have on hand! I would love to say I did that by myself! 🙂
stacy says
Looks like a handy little gadget to have!
Trisha McKee says
Yes, we need this! This happened to my daughter. She was at her school and was there later than usual. She went to her car and it wouldn’t start and no one was around to give her a jump. We need this.
April v Monty says
I love how compact and easy to use this is, as a woman we can find these things perplexing
Lyndsey R. says
Every single person should have this. Men, women, teenagers and even seniors. What a great device to have!
Barrie says
This is a great idea for our daughter who now goes to college 6 hours away! My biggest fear is being stranded on the side of the road despite having a roadservice. I’d worry less about our teen driving with this!
Allen Gibson says
I can’t vouch for this one in particular as I haven’t tried it but I will say that having a jumper is a life saver. At some point, you will leave your lights on or just end up with a dead battery. If you are out in the middle of nowhere when this happens, you’ll find the investment well worth it.
Kathy Green says
My son recently started driving my old SUV. He loving named it “Raul”. Well, Raul likes to let the battery go dead. This seems like a great addition the back compartment, along with the tire tools.
Karley Moore says
I would love to have this in my trunk. It’s always smart to think ahead before you get stranded.
Dana Rodriguez says
This would be very handy to have. You never know when you might need a jump. My fiance’ would like this!
Cindy Brooks says
We use to own a ’69 VW Bug and I got a lot of experience jumping the battery. It would go dead if the lights were left on…every time. Cars of those era had no beeping sound to remind you to turn them off. I sure would of loved to have had this then!
Alissa Apel says
I could so use this because I have a 12 1/2 year old Honda Civic. It’s getting old. 🙁 Soon enough my son will be driving. He could use this as well. It’s great for young people.
Leela says
This would be perfect for my family. Especially the Preheat mode for jump starting in frigid temperatures since we live where it can get very cold.
ANNETTE FISHER says
I LOVE IT. IT IS SMALL AND LIGHT WEIGHT. MUST GRAB ONE BECAUSE I DO NOT OWN ONE.
Dawn Monroe says
I would love to get this into all of my kids cars. They are young and driving older cars and never prepare. My husband always has to come to the rescue.
Susan Broughton says
This would be so handy to have. It would also make a good Christmas gift.
Jennifer Barber says
After reading this well written review I must have this charger! My car is 16 years old plus i live in MN! The winters are brutal and often times cars won’t start on super cold days. Buying this jumper would pay for itself quickly by saving money on needing someone to jump start your car! I love that it can charge your phone too! thanks for the review!
Patricia Mingozzi says
I like that it is compact. It fits anywhere and it works the same as the big jumpstarters.
kate g says
Everyone should have one of these in their trunk, there is nothing worse than being stranded and it can be deadly if it’s in the middle of winter. My thinking is just forget the ‘what if” afterthoughts. why take chances if you don’t have to?
Amy Drazen says
I really need to keep this in my car, especially traveling with my 2 young children. It also looks very easy to use.
Amy Drazen says
I really need to keep this in my car, especially traveling with my 2 young children.
Linda Madden says
This is awesome! What a great gift idea for my hubby!
Kimberly Frazee says
I have a old time battery charger but I never knew they had invented this kind. How can ya beat that it charges USB and !2 volt. Wow I am so behind the times lololol
Jessica Justice says
How convenient! It takes up very little space compared to the other one. Everyone should probably have two of these. 🙂
Tracy DeLoach says
There is nothing worse than getting stuck with a dead battery after shopping for a cart full of food, especially in hot Florida. This would be great to have and I would have to depend on someone helping me out.
Ian says
Honestly never thought I would need something like this. Your review has made me think I may need something like this for my car in the future!
Megan Cromes says
i love this because it would come in handy this winter .
and i love the colors to thanks 🙂
Holly B says
I actually got stuck with a dead battery when washing my car a few weeks ago. I so wish I had invested in one of these in advance!
Jessie Mohler says
I really like this . I live in MN Sand in an apartment complex . Parking is tight in the winter and pulling up to another dead car is tricky. What a nice way to jump in below 0 temps
Deborah W. says
There’s nothing worse than being out with the kids and having the car not stop. Who has time, or sanity, to wait on AAA to come and start your car. I love this little jump-starter. I think I could easily use it. Thanks for the great review!
Cynthia C says
Cold climates are hard on car batteries. This would give me peace of mind during the winter months.
Sarah Phillips says
I love the built-in flashlight and SOS feature. You can tell this company really had safety in mind when they designed this jump starter. I know I would feel much more secure having one of these in my car!
Darcy Koch says
I can’t believe it. I just won this exact jump starter. It is really nice. I am happy to have it because my van is a 2002 and I worry about being stranded somewhere with no jumper cables.
Katie Bellamy says
How convenient! It doesn’t take too much room up in your car!
Linda Szymoniak says
While I believe that anyone who drives a car should carry jumper cables with them (and know how to use them), I also realize there are times you need a jump start and you don’t have anyone there with a vehicle to use to make the jump. And, even with an auto club, when things get busy and they have a lot of calls, you can wait hours for someone to come out and give you a jump. This would be a great item to have – especially on long trips when you aren’t near friends and families who can come out and help if needed. Oh, and I adore the Psyduck plush in the photos. Love it!
Renea G says
I’m one of those people that stops to help every stranded motorist in whatever parking lot I’m in, whether it’s at the mall or the grocery store. This nifty little jump starter would make my life a little easier, instead of pulling out the jumper cables from the trunk and popping my hood to attach this here and that there, rinse and repeat!
Sara Zielinski says
This would be a great Christmas gift for anyone who travels alot or has a rough commute to work. This could also be used to help others who are in a pinch.
Tamra Phelps says
Everyone should have these in their car and know how to use them. You’d be amazed at the people who have jumper cables but have no idea how to use them.
mary edwards says
One of my biggest fears is getting stuck somewhere with a dead battery or other car issue. I would love to have this jump starter – it would give me peace of mind
stephanie bastien says
This is would be a great gift for several members of my family!! I dont know how many times they broken down on side of the row at the most unconvient times and bizarre places! so yeah the jnc318 jump starter would def make a great gift and something that they could use all throughout the years and would save them from being late to work, school , dr appt wherever it might be plus save them from being stuck in the cold or rain etc !
Rebbekka Howard says
That is a pretty neat thing is really a must-have in any vehicle. I love how small and compact it looks. Lightweight and portable. I really like it.
James Robert says
Not only could I use this to carry in my vehicle for y car but others at work as well. I live in Michigan and we have had many times where myself or others have needed to get a jump because of their battery not kicking over. This sounds great!
April Monty says
What a great gift this would make for my fiance, he loves cars and works on them a lot
Jennifer ODay says
Living through a Michigan winter with a small child is a challenge. I feel like have a device like this could LITERALLY be a life saver…… You never know what or who may come across you.
Michelle Catallo says
I really like how these have a digital display instead of trying to peer through a little window on your battery to see green or red. Even then, it’s not entirely accurate; digital reading is the only way to go in my opinion. Great review and these are a saver.
Nicole Lancaster says
I think the JNC318 Jump Starter is great to have on hand. I like that it does not take up a lot of trunk space and it has a preheat mode for jump starting in cold weather.
Leela says
This would be so useful to have on hand. There is always that worry that the car won’t start.
tricia Morley says
This would be the perfect gift for my daughter! I worry because you never know these days and what if you dont have cables and thee kind of people out there….
Sharold says
This would be a great item for parents sending their child too college. I always worried about mine having car trouble and some creeper wanting to help.
Jennifer H. says
This would be a great product to have access to.
Tom B. says
This looks interesting. I will have to check it out!
Richard Hicks says
This is just the trick for those emergencies. I had a battery go dead after leaving inside lights on overnight!
Hazel says
After getting stuck on a deserted parking lot next to the interstate in Mississippi, we learned our lesson. We now always take one of these with us. It saves you from so much stress and wasted time.
denise low says
This would be really nice to have and put in my car in the wintertime or any other time. And it would be a great Christmas gift.
Shannon Mitchell says
I’ve needed this a couple of times in my life. I’ve been stranded and had to get a tow truck to come and help me and that was pretty costly. I like how small it is and doesn’t take up that much room. I like that it can charge your devices.
Donna Jacoby says
I will be looking for this–my husband isn’t always available when I need his assistance. Thank you for sharing!
Jessica Cox says
This is something everyone should have in their car. I live in a rural area and people don’t just stop to help out, with four kids I can’t be getting stuck, so this would be a lifesaver.
Amy D says
I need this! I have 2 young children and I am always worried about my car being unreliable and needing a jump. This would really help, and it looks really easy to use.
Jeanne Coulombe says
This is something that I’m telling my husband to get me for my truck, it looks simple and easy to use not these big stupid cables . Thanks for the info
Mary Gardner says
This is a great thing to have when you need a jump. It seems that batteries go dead in the most inconvenient places and at the most inconvenient times.
Sara Zielinski says
This jump starter looks great. It is a good thing to have in an emergency.
Sandy Cain says
I really feel this is as necessary in any car as any other item. You wouldn’t drive without a spare tire, right? Or having a good first aid kit in the car. It is terrifying to be stuck with a good jumpstarter (I know from experience!!) and this looks like the best!
Alice F. says
This would be a perfect gift for an Car Owner! I want one for my car.
ellen beck says
This is such a good idea to have especially in cold climates. Batteries that are ‘good’ can need a jump if out in a lot or even at home. Even if you have a battery charger (the big kind) it is sometimes tough to get it through the snow. This would be fantastic.
Dana Rodriguez says
This would be great to have, Especially since the cold weather is coming!
David Lotz says
That’s a lot smaller than the one I have. Price is good for the size. Has all the features of mine but like I said way smaller.
Edye says
This would be great for my grandma as a Christmas gift! That way she is protected if she has car trouble.
Lucy Rapposellii says
This would be very handy this winter. You never know if I or someone else gets stranded. Would love to have
Lynne B says
I love how small this jump starter is. I also like how versatile it is. I would add a tire inflator and put one in each car.
Chris L says
These would be really handy to have in the vehicle. I need to get a set.
Betty Curran says
Wow, I really like that preheat mode for jump starting in frigid temperatures. Having to jump start a car in the middle of winter is one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had.
Donna Cairns says
Every car should have one especially ones with young drivers. Don’t want them stranded in an empty parking lot or garage. Scary to be stuck at night especially if it’s deserted. This makes it quick to get jumped and move on.
Eileen Richter says
Weve had units that quit after only a year or so. This one looks so compact and store easily in a waterproof small storage. WOW, thats a long time to be a paramedic. We have a van that is a 1999 and our daughter that’s a senior has to drive sometimes. a couple times this past summer it died right at an intersection. THIS JNC would have been nice to have right about then. Thanks for the review and thanks to Psyduck too. 🙂
Pam says
This is a must for carrying in your car. It’s scary to be stuck with your car not working.
Tina Alexander says
This is definitely a life saver! It can be stressful as well as dangerous to have a battery die away from home or when the weather is bad.Add kids in the car to the mix and there’s really reason to feel anxiety.
Cynthia R says
Whenever we take a cross country trip we pack a jump starter similar to this. You don’t want to get stuck somewhere.
debbie says
I can’t believe all the things this item can do! I would feel much safer with this in my car. My kids would also like the ability to charge their devices.
Michelle Catallo says
I always recommend people have not only jump starter cables but, if possible, and actually battery back-up starter. I keep heavy duty jumper cables in my truck but, I even have a battery starter in my glove box.
M. L. says
This is literally 1/5th the size of the jump box/battery jumper I keep in my trunk! WOW. This is something I must buy.
Lana simanovicki says
My husband can use this om a faily basis
Richard Hicks says
I have a starter on my wish list. This one is very impressive and perfect for that emergency
Trisha McKee says
I have an hour-commute to work. Two hours a day in my car. This is such a needed item. Thank you for this information. I love how compact it is and how easy to maintain.
Jerry Marquardt says
The review on the JNC318 Jump Starter is astounding. I love the specifications and contents of the emergency kit. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Dana says
I need this in my car as part of my emergency kit. My car battery has died before and left me in some precarious situations as I waited for AAA.
Janice L. says
This would be so neat to have. I could use it on the cars AND the riding mower. It’s battery is always dead by spring.
Melissa Storms says
I could really use this in my car emergency kit. It is very cold and there have been many times I have gone out in the morning to a dead battery.
lisa says
I don’t know anything about cars. But, if you’re having trouble finding this, it must be a popular item.
Jessie Mohler says
I love this living in Minnesota is an invitation for a vehicle not to start. This make parking in a tight area a little more easier
Linda Manns Linneman says
This is awesome. Especially for this cold weather we are having. I am sure we all could use one of these. Thank you so much for sharing
Marsha C says
We could have used one of these this past Saturday. We were visiting Chicago. We went into a store and my husband somehow managed to turn on the hazard lights before getting out of the car. I had no idea they can drain a battery so fast, but the car was dead by the time we came out only about 15 minutes later. Put a damper on the day, waiting for AAA. We could have been moving so quickly if we had one of these. We’ll be getting one. Thanks for the review!
donna porter says
The jump starter seems to be light and compact. I would love to add this to my emergency kit. I would feel much safer on the road especially at night.
Tara F. says
So what you are saying is…. I can actually jump the car myself?? Instead of having to call my husband or someone to come to my rescue? Wow. This looks like something I could actually do.
Tom Shewbridge says
Yes that is what I am saying! 🙂
~Tom
Jennifer M says
This would be amazing to have for peace of mind on the road. I also love that it can charge devices. I’m adding this to my wishlist!
Kathy Pease says
This would make a great Christmas gift for my husband..Actually he recently had to have our starter changed because he was having trouble starting the car.
Michelle Castagne says
The JNC318 Jump Starter and Charger would make a great gift to yourself or someone else. It’s compact and multipurpose. No more getting stuck in the cold waiting for assistance!
kate g says
I have a really steep driveway, so unless I back up the driveway there would be no way to jump my battery in the winter. This would be such a great solution. It’s great that it’s so small too. I’m like you and like to be prepared and this looks pretty foolproof, so that’s a big plus.
Alicia Hewitt says
Thks is awesome! M boyfriend’s car needed a jump a few times this past year and we had to wait, or have a nice citizen, help us. I’m chronically ill so this would be extremely important to have in the car. I’m going to look into this and maybe buy it for my boyfriend for Christmas. Thank you for sharing!
Debbie Welchert says
I love this and really like how compact it is. I know I would feel a lot better if my daughter had one in her car.
Abigail Gibson says
I could have used one of these several years ago in Northern Indiana. Specifically living in a rural community and having very few neighbors around to help. I missed a few days of work because my car would not start due to frigid temperatures. Gave me an excuse to stay home and clean my house.
denise low says
These would be great to have and store in the car. I love how small they are. I need to tell my sons about these and hint that this would be great for Christmas.
Laurali Graham says
This is certainly a lot better than the older jump start boxes. I like the fact this fits nicely in the hand and it doesn’t take up much room. I have a Mini Cooper so I don’t have a lot of room in my hatch for large jump start boxes. I will have to check into this Jump Starter.
Pam Halligan says
Every car should be equipped with one of these. I especially like that it has a preheat mode for jump starting in frigid temperatures
Carol S says
This would be a great item to have on hand, and what a convenient size. Another big plus is being able to use it for charging electronic devices. This will make the perfect gift for a couple of my family members. Thanks for sharing.
Jeffrey says
I never really thought of buying a jump starter as a gift before. However, this would make a practical gift for several of my relatives who travel many miles each week for work, so it would be a useful device for them to have in case they get stuck someplace.
Auntiepatch says
I could use one of these RIGHT NOW! My battery is dead. I guess I will have to have it towed to the repair shop and go from there. Can I buy one of these in Calif.?
belinda bell says
This is what I need for my hubby. He has been looks for something like this
Sonya Allstun says
I have been curious how well these smaller type jump starters work. I have been looking at the at the store and like that they dont take up so much room and makes it easier to hook things up without having to fixer out how to set the huge thing somewhere. Your review was very helpful.
Tamra Phelps says
I definitely think every car needs something like this. And I like that it works in frigid temperatures! Looks like a winner.
Dawn Ganey says
This would come in handy on a truck break down.
Lesley F says
I could have used this a couple of weeks ago. My son called and needed help as his car battery was dead. This would be great to keep in the car and be prepared for this type of emergency
Beatrice P says
This is a lifesaver to have in case of emergencies. I want to win this!
Jennifer A Rose says
Lets face it nobody wants to take the time to help someone jump their car in the parking lot. Nobody wants to drag the battery charger out in 3 feet of snow at 6 in the morning cause car won’t start , this thing is awesome and honestly I never would of thought about buying one if I wouldn’t of read Toms review!! Thank you Tom!
Sandra McFadden says
I love these things. One year my trickle charger fried when I plugged it in and thank goodness my ex had one of those portable jumpers. It saved the day! I wasn’t late for work thank goodness. I loved it so much I gave all the women in my office one for Christmas. They loved having the security in their cars not having to call a tow truck for a jump if they got stranded.
Evelyn Chuter says
What a great idea! Nothing I hate more than being broke down in a crowded parking lot waiting for the people in the car next to you to come out and bother them for a jump. I would love to have one of these. It’s dangerous for a woman to break down by herself now days.
Clem says
This device would be very useful in those dead battery situations, which I’ve experienced a few times in the past. I like that it has the 12 volt output for a tire inflator, which would be another useful thing to have.
Linda Szymoniak says
First of all, I’m a firm believer that anyone who drives a vehicle should have some basic knowledge and equipment. That includes knowing how to change a tire (and have what they need to do that), how to jump start a vehicle (and always have a good set of jumper cables in the vehicle), how to check and top off engine fluids, etc. While we have AAA auto club, there are times you simply can’t – or don’t want to – wait the time it can take for help to come. I’ve helped more people with a jump start than I can count (and it always surprises them that a woman can jump start their vehicle). Anyway, there are times when you can end up with a dead battery (you leave the headlights on, a vehicle door doesn’t get closed all the way and the interior light/s stay on, etc.) and you may not have another driver you can flag down to give you a jump start of the auto club tells you it’s going to be a long wait. Something like this would be great to have in my vehicle!
Sunnymay says
Just have the Jump Starter Tool in my car would give me peace of mind. Plus it has a flashlight and can charge your electronics using the USB port.
Lorayne Gothard says
This is the best idea and what I am going to buy for my family for Christmas. There is so many times that one of us gets stuck and our car cant start. It isn’t always easy to get someone to help you. My son is always borrowing my jumper cables and this is perfect for him. Thank you for the idea! I will for sure buy!
Sandy Klocinski says
This is awesome! As they say, “Shit Happens” and this would be a god send if my battery ever went dead. I particularly like the compact size
Amelia Bayless says
This looks incredible – the fact that it is so compact is a definite bonus. I also really like that it has the built-in flashlight and preheat feature; it seems as thought I always need this sort of thing at night.
Judy Cox says
This is something that you would keep with your emergency items in your car. It will give you peace of mind while on the road alone.
Pat Schwab says
All of our cards are old and beat up so this would really come in handy. I could actually use this on my own which is a bonus.
Eileen Richter says
OH my gosh, I love how small this is. We have had much bigger units that dont seem to last long. So cool it also charges phones and tablets, etc. When you live in the frozen tundra area of Wisconsin, this is a key item to have. Thanks!
Lana simanovicki says
These items are very handyevery one should habe one
ellen beck says
I LOVE this thing! I know my husband would think it is awesome as well.We live in the Midwest, and this is about all we dont have in the car- although one truck we actually do keep an extra battery in for just such an occasion. This would eliminate the need to carry another battery.
Speaking from someone who ha been on the side of the road during a couple of blizzards I can tell you if your battery goes, you could be in for some serious trouble. Even ‘good’ batteries will die when it is -40 below.
This is nifty Tom, we would for sure love to add something like this to our emergency kits !
Shared For ya too.
Tom Shewbridge says
Hi Ellen,
Thanks so much for sharing. You totally rock! Have any friends you want to bring along! Have a great day! ~Tom
USSROVER says
Having this item or one like it good for emergencies Just make sure after each use & once a month give it a charge to keep full potential..
BARBARA SCOTT says
I would like to have this because Ilive in the country, I shudder at the thought of being cought out at night in winter with no help.You hear of so many being frozen to death stranded, thank you for this chance to win this.
Fee Roberts says
This would have been great to have during the height of summer when my daughter’s car wouldn’t start in the Walmart parking lot. I had my grandchildren with me. They were hot and miserable from the heat waiting for my other daughter to come help us because nobody I asked would give me the time of day. It was awful.
Ashley Martinez says
I really could have used this a couple of months ago. My battery kept going dead and I had to keep finding someone to give me a jump. Turns out one of the terminals was broken so I got a new one. But things happen and this would be awesome to have on hand for those emergency situations for yourself or to help somebody out. It would also make a great gift! Awesome giveaway! !
Tom Shewbridge says
Thanks for the wonderful comment, wish I had more people like you. Do share, I need more followers. Good Luck. ~Tom
Natalie says
This would have been nice to have last year when my car would not start! This is essential to have in any car, especially in the winter.
Amber Ludwig says
What a great emergency item to have during these cold winters!!
timothy luscko says
Would be great for my mother’s car.Last winter mom’s car would not start and she had to call AAA and had to miss her doctor appointment. The JNC318 Jump Starter is a great size for mom to handle and so would get stuck again.
Jennifer Hedden says
This jump starter is awesome! My two favorite features are being able to jump start your vehicle without having to get someone else to help you. And being able to charge your cell phone. I would love to have one in my car and it would make a great Christmas gift.
Chris L says
This would be great. Even with jumper cables, you can wait forever to get a jump from someone else. I love that you can even charge your devices with it.
Leela says
I would love one of these! They look so useful.
Desiree DeYoung says
Funny, you said you couldn’t think of anything negative. So curious on the 9/10. Thanks for the review!!!^_^
Edye says
This is something everyone should have! I’d love to get one for my grandma for Christmas this year!
Julie Waldron says
This would be great for my daughter. She travels for work and I would feel better if she had this.
Mia says
This would be a wonderful gift for my husband and son since they head to the mountains to ski frequently and we always make sure there is are jumper cables and emergency kit in the car.
Michelle Elizondo says
Our winters in Texas is terrifying. We have used cars and they can stall at any moment. This is the life savor for us.
Linda Manns Linneman says
This sounds so nice. I just moved to a cold weather state. This would be perfect for me to have in my car. Thank you so much for sharing
Tom Shewbridge says
Thanks for the comment. Have a great day!
Helen says
I love how easy it is to use. I so need one in my car. I usually travel with my pug and a toddler, so it could come in handy.
Sherrie Cruson says
This Jump Starter would make a wonderful gift for my hubby and both of my boys. I would like to get them all gifts this year that would come in handy (not just things they want and don’t need) and this sounds perfect. Thanks for the review.
Amy P says
That is a super convenient size. Do you know how long its battery would last if it was kept in the trunk?
Tom Shewbridge says
Hi Amy,
I think it has at least a 3-month charge before needing to be boosted. Thanks for your comment. I apologize for not knowing the exact answer. ~Tom

This is such an awesome product. I have to have this.
Donald Santos says
Sounds like a great product especially for those long cold winters. I live in the northeast and it gets pretty cold have had that problem numerous times then there’s the waiting for someone to come to jump you is ridiculous now with this no more waiting or missed appointments
John Smith says
I don’t know about these kinds of things, but that looks like advanced equipment! And I like the little ducky!
Lesley F says
I would love this for my son who just had the problem of his car not starting and getting stuck until we went to go jump his car!
Molli Taylor says
i love your site and this guide. i do not know anything about these things but need to buy a lot of gifts for guys…. this is great.
Dorothy Boucher says
This is really nice to have, I don’t own jumper cables yet. I can see why people need this though, Its amazing what this can do for you if you get stuck. Every vehicle should have one..

I wouldn’t have believed it if you didn’t do this review. Hard to believe something so small packs a power punch to do all these things. I like it’s small enough to carry also. Thanks for the info.
Rosanne says
It’s cool that it has some girl colors going on. I don’t have an emergency kit but this is motivating me.
Jeannie Holley says
This is really a must have in any vehicle. My car is notorious for needing a jump and with three grandchildren all under 3, I can’t take any chances on being stranded.
Dawn Monzu says
I really wish I would have had this when my battery decided to die on me. I don’t care if you have a new battery or not, you need to have one of these in your car!!! This is a great gift idea! Very cool.
Emily says
This is amazing. Everyone should have one.
Barrie says
My biggest fear is getting stranded on the side of the road. this would help aleve the fear of being stuck with a car that needs to be jumped. I love that this can be charged and used over and over again!
Darcy Koch says
This would be perfect for me. It sounds easy enough for me to use. I really like you can also charge your phone or tablet with it. Another added bonus is the built in flashlight. Like you, I can find no cons.
Angela Saver says
I love that it has a built-in flashlight, and can also be used to charge devices via USB or even use 12-Volt accessories like tire inflators! I need this for my car as well as my kiddos vehicles!
1stopmom says
I would definitely like something lile this for my daughters. I would worry less about them being stranded somewhere from a dead battery
Deborah D says
This would give me piece of mind knowing that my family is safer when they hit the road, It sounds like a really good quality product.
Linda Manns Linneman says
I just moved to a state with colder weather. I do not have the emergency kit that I need. This would be a great start for me. Thank you so much for sharing this great product. God Bless
kate g says
They really thought of everything here, not only to charge the battery, but flashlight and SOS. Honestly before seeing this and reading your review, I didn’t even know I needed this, now I really want one!
Sarah L says
I do carry jumper cables in my car. But this would be so much easier than finding another car to give me a jump.
monique s says
this is such a great tool. I so need this for my emergency kit I carry in my trunk
Walter Merrick says
This 12-Volt jump starter is absolutely the thing I have been looking for. I have a motorcycle with a 12-volt battery, and the last thing I want is for it not to start as the winter approaches. And the portable dual USB power bank for charging electronic devices such as phones, tablets, and more will also be a great help if I find myself stranded in the snow or rain.And the built-in flashlight with SOS feature is a marvel.
Sandy Klocinski says
This would be an awesome thing to have. Definitely on my wish list
Anna Mitchell says
This would be a really good thing to have in case of an emergency.
Kimberly Flickinger says
I need one of these, I will definitely put this on my wish list.
Amber Ludwig says
OH this is SUCH a handy item to have!! I may be pretty guilty of leaving lights on and killing my battery more than once or twice lol!
