Great find today!!
 
started a new job this week so i'm trying to play by the rules and not be on the phone in the office. so my wife calls me 19 times this afternoon (literally) because she left the lights on and the car won't start.
i go over there after work .......no cables, of course, to find the car, front in, and unable to unlock the shift interlock due to zero juice.
so off to blow $60+ on a jump box, right?
i stop in k-mart and they have this:

Kmart.com

i also had tobuy a pair of skizzors to open the blister pack and the whole things cost $34!! i dunno if it was on clearance or what but wow!
worked like a charm right out of the box and even charges other stuff.
just thought i'd pass it along

These are great to have around.

I bought one last year so I could get a power seat off a car at the Pick n Pull. Lots more convenient than having to pull out the big wheeled charger and running an extension cord when I need 12V power remotely.

Once you have one, you'll wonder how you did without it.

yesterday i needed to unlock the hatch on a car i have here to get the taillight out (battery cables go to nowhere-typical parts car)
i have a double accessory plug (cig. lighter plug on both ends used to keep 12v to a car when removing the battery) and it worked like a charm with the one attachment on the unit!!.
i went back to kmart on friday afternoon after work and they are marked down from $99 to $25!

I'm assuming this is a portable battery power source. (When I click on the link it realises I'm foreign and says how they can ship internationally now - yeah right - great stuff - I don't fancy the Dutch import duties...)
