Would have been nice to get but I got this one over a year ago. Big and heavy but it does do the job.

I bought something similar last year. I had to use it for the first time a few months ago on a maxima. Honestly didnt know if it would work. It jumped it with no problem...a few times. I was pleasantly surprised needless to say. Just get one with enough amps.

I run a fleet of towing/salvage boats and we do jumpstarts on the water and have switched to the lithium packs and they work quite well. You don't get but a few tries, but the convenience is nice.
